I realised pyke is just a better blitzcrank today...

Pyke Passive: a heal that can restore a massive amount of HP when unseen as well as changing bonus HP you get into AD Q: a pull right to you with good damage or an optional melee aoe slow with extra damage W: Movement speed and stealth E: a dash and an AOE stun R: You die button with a reset mechanic

Blitzcrank Passive: bigger shields based on maximum mana .... Q: a simple pull decent damage W: Movement speed with a punihsing effect (slow) and attack speed( this part doesnt feel needed since he just needs to combo) E: single target knock up R: AOE silence that sometimes damages area


After looking at their kits theyre both designed to get you kills ... they both punish mis positioning however pyke has better tools (most clearly with the W).... why would i play blitzcrank over pyke?

Blitzcrank provides more on-demand responses. You're not pulling anyone with Pyke without advertising it with a charge up. Someone jumps on your ADCs face you can get them off faster with Blitz.

That said, yes, Pyke is effectively a squishy high damage Blitzcrank with better fallback options if he misses his hook.

For a pull that isn't telegraphed to hell?

Because bliz has more peel and pick potential and can front line whereas pyke is more engaged and follow up.

I'm just going to leave these here. I'm convinced the entire population of the boards ints every pyke they see.
