Thoughts on Pyke?

He's a type of support that I don't usually play, yet fulfills his duty as a support in ways I've always wanted, mainly because a he's a support who can actually use , which is amazing with zombie wards and his OOC moment. Got a 225 vision score once because of this.

I've always been more of a peeling support player, but Pyke helped me step out of my comfort zone. I love this guy.

I agree with you. For me I like how in laning he’s more of an engager but then he transforms into a more flanker assassin later. And if you play him alright he’s not weak but he can’t just blast through everyone without any thought.

He's about to get a buff vs some teams, nerf vs others.

Atm on the docket:

Increase Armor/Resist growth by 1/.75 per level.

Decrease HP growth by 10 per level (170 less HP at 18..... Ouch).

E Damage ratio up from 80% to 100% (they tried 110% and deemed it too high)

BUT

E Base damage down about 20 at level 5

(If you are running an AD build, this is good. If you are running a tank build this is more of a wash)

R AD Ratio up to 100% from 80% (I don't know if this is still in there).

In other words... a few QoL adjustments and a potentially dangerous lowering of his HP which means teams who rush penetration are going to eat him faster....... in exchange for a little more damage on a long cooldown skill, and a slight increase in R thresholds.

I like the R threshold thing because there are so many times you are just 15 points of HP from being in an execute threshold, but the HP lowering probably means he's going to die before he even executes the R.

That really scares me vs Conquerer teams.
