Morgana can solo lane just fine.
Brand can solo lane just fine.
He has even been played Jungle, just like Lulu.
No she can't
She is a mid laner
Pyke top (and mid, for that matter) have glaring issues. Just because it was played in the LCS doesn't make it some overbearing, super meta-strat that everyone is going to start using to reach 100% WR.
For starters, he has absolutely no waveclear at all unless he gets an early Tiamat, and even then that just delays his powerspike even further as he doesn't get any Lethality for his abilities. If he tries to use his E to waveclear, he's susceptible to punishment as he won't have an escape for any engagements. Punishing him every time he steps up to CS and shoving his tower in are great ways to make him lose tons of CS and fall behind.
The only way Pyke can make anything happen in a solo lane is if you fail a dive or if he roams. If he leaves your vision for 2-5+ seconds, spam ping your allies and tell them to get ready to dodge his ult or prepare to fight him. He's functionally the same as Twitch in that regard.
Pyke has not, and will never, be okay...
Because Tahm isn't played Toplane, lol.
Pykes fine.
I really want them to bring back active support items, and give supports a few more interesting options.
The problem with the other supports played in top and mid like Karma was that they were uninteresting playstyles and most of the time abusing stuff like Frostmancy, and had no interaction.
Pyke has clear weaknesses, and needs to be super proactive to make use of the pick. I don't see a reason for him to be nerfed because he is played top.
