Don't worry, if you play him as a support like you were supposed to, it's an overall buff. The lower Q cooldown and increased W movement speed makes it a lot easier to make plays and roam.

It'll only be a hard nerf to the scumbags that played him top, mid, and jungle.

Yes, please change him. He needs it.

Ignore OP, nerf pyke into oblivion and slowly path him up little by little until he feels right.

Yeah I don't like the changes either and I RARELY play Pyke so I'm not speaking on any biases here. Some of his scaling should be tweaked but my rub is his passive being activated only during W. I haven't even gotten to try Pyke outside support yet.

First of all, that got pulled, real quick. His passive is the same, what's changing for Pyke is that his Q cooldown is shorter early, but the stab is no longer AoE, his E no longer hits minions, and his W grants additional movement speed as you rank it up. They basically removed his waveclear so he can't play in a solo lane or jungle.

Second, it never worked like you're describing. When they moved the passive to his W, he could heal just fine with He just needed to take W before he'd gain that benefit. It was a nerf to his early game, intended to make it so that he didn't have his sustain at level 1, and that he'd have to choose between the sustain and his E at level 2, making him far easier to poke down early. Again, that was pulled, in favor of gutting his waveclear and buffing his Q and W.

Okay then thanks for telling me. Again I rarely play Pyke so it didn't matter too much to me but I do enjoy Pyke and yeah he's got no business having such insane wave clear as a support. I play Taric a lot and damn he's stronger than I thought but his clearing sucks. As it should.
