Pyke's base armor is WAY too high for an assassin.

Now i understand you want to force him to be viable bot lane, but he has nearly 50 armor at level 1 and gains the same armour value of a tank with a randuin's omen at level 10. An AD assassin with extremely high scaling and absurd mobility should not have this amount of armour - never mind marksmen, any physical damage champion without true damage in-built are forced to build lethality to even hope to kill him.

Pyke can't build health. item 3070

Not entirely true, he just has half a Vlad passive. And it removes the bonus health from items for AD. Oh, and apparently, effects like Overgrowth or Grasp might still make him gain base HP rather than bonus, which means it goes through.

So yes, it might be possible to have him run a Warmog's and not be trolling.

He is designed to build AD, and if he builds armor (which he SHOULD have to if he wants to have high armor) he can still get bonus AD FROM building health.

Riot is "fixing" the meta. Pyke pushes all other supports out of the game not because he or his players are good, but because of his absurdly overtuned stats and kit. He SHOULD have a tradeoff for building full AD - especially when his passive is DESIGNED to benefit off of hybrid defensive items.

Not to mention insane healing and ability to weave in and out of fights regaining all his hp back.
