Pyke nerfs any time soon? He is no longer a new champion
Sorry but being a hypermobile evelynn stealthed blitzcrank with reset potentional of katarina and forgiving passive is to much

the whole thing with a support having a great scaling execute will never be balanced
He really just needs to have his passive gray health be less effective early-mid game and if needed, have his ultimate's base damage toned back to what it was before the buffs. The rest of his kit is fine.
Pyke shouldnt even exist tbh.
Hes literally an assassin that riot tried to sell as a "unique support" that is stupidly overloaded.
Yea dude.. I'm 100% for a Pyke nerf, I ban him EVERY single game. (mainly bc im a supp main) and his ult is just bullshit. That's really the only thing wrong with him. Yea he gets a forgive button and gets all his health back.. yea he can do blitz one worse by pulling AND stunning you. But if you're skilled you can deal with all of that... What you can't deal with, is seeing yourself and your partner get instantly killed when you're both still above 30% of health. A lot of times when you're at Bot lane, people duke it out till everyone is at low health. If there's a pyke, he can just ult you when youre at 30% (as a Leona) 40% if youre the adc... Its the most unfair ult in the game IMO. You can't have a normal laning phase at bot if there's a pyke around. A blitz, you can still dodge his grab, but thats about all he'll bring to the table. And mind you up until now Blitz was the terror of bot lane, now I seriously rather go up against him than against a bs Pyke. Its just a bullshit ult that needs a BIG ass nerf.
But highly doubt he'll get a nerf any time soon since he just got a new skin and they're not about to lose money on him.
No He just got a new skin
How is Pyke hypermobile? Also he's received tons of nerfs and changes. The whole "he is no longer a new champion" is just a ridiculous addition really.
Nerf the passive and Ult excute. That's it.
As someone who likes Pyke
Hit his passive hard, he is way too safe with how much go he can potentially Regen, so even bad trades are usually equal

Seems okay. I'm not saying he's fun to play with/as/against/whatever, but I'm not sure why he should be nerfed.
As much as I hate his entire kit, I think just nerfing his gray health and having the damage from a trade actually stick would do wonders in bringing him down without really touching his damage or whatever.
I don't mind him having AD scaling, a pull a dash a bind an invisible and an execute.
Just take away his absurd sustain so I can actually play around it. Make his mistakes meaningful when he does something wrong.
Pyke is so insanely useless if you pick something like zilean into him. You can give speed to your adc and you can just ignore his ult. Ult the person he wants to ult and he's useless by wasting all of his engage. End of. Learn to counterpick a champion. Picking brand, lulu or janna support is open invitation. You don't pick a janna or sona into blitz, you pick ali or morgana.
Sure he can perma duel and heal back up, but it scales with his AD. People cry and scream murder because of his ult. Well without his ult he's easy to deal with so pick something that counters his ult. Not to mention zilean can slow him so his movement speed is gone.
Always nerfing champs instead of learning to counterpick them is gonna leave us with a game of inept champions, incapable of doing what they were made for. If you pick any tank into pyke with good CC he's a goner. Alistar is also a decent counter as you just headbutt him away from your carry. Zilean and kayle for obvious reasons. Even karma with a root. But picking something like lulu, lux, sona, soraka, well yeh you chose to die there buddy. You don't pick exhaust in a soraka lane.. you pick ignite to counter the healing.
Why compare his reset to kat when it's literally an AoE darius ult. 3/10
Agreed. I am sick of wasting a ban on him. His his ulti is one of the most single stupid things I ever seen in this. A support having a scaling execute cant be balanced period.
