Pyke's completely trash cds make him useless.
Pyke is only good for jg and top lane but his top lane struggles against like 80% of champs due to his exponentially long cds. Once his combo is done any way, he is reliant on basic attacks for about 11 seconds. any adc/apc/jg/mid lane with any sustain what so ever can merk pyke. YA KNOW WHY? Some drug abuser made him unable to tank! hp turns into ad?!??!!!??!? his ability scaling is already garbage, and there are no cooldown refreshes for him(except ult). and to make it even worse... 1 ad per 14. played multiple games and did the math. frozen mallet gives him almost 80 ad total, and slows enemies by 40% because hes melee. cool right? no. no sustain, no attack speed,(which is necessary after his combo) and if you just build ad crazy like you would jhin, late game, he'll struggle against adcs or anyone with burst damage/attack speed and bs sustain(akali, ahri) If you dont stack attack speed early, your late game suffers because all opponents have to do is get a single armor item and your slow attack pyke gets merked with ease. but you also need ad to even be a factor in fights at all. uh oh, but thats situational. you also need armor/mr so every team fight or gank your health doesnt dissapear in one ability. but oh wait!! you cant build health so YOURE SCREWED ANYWAYS!
RIOT!. You made a support assassin with a quick engage/depart ability, a hook, and a ult that makes him a factor, but then leave absent everything that makes his play type playable...... he has too much to build over a short time to even matter late game. he needs attack speed, lifesteal, ad to make up for his lack of ability to tank to even survive fights, which mean if hes not attacking faster than hes taking damage, hes dead, because his cds are so stupidly long you can only use them once, maybe twice per fight if youre lucky, which leads to massive rage for pyke players. all in all,
pyke is a useless filler champ with amazing abilites and no afterthought and poor testing.
please fix him. did you even think about his role in a game, or the massive amounts of IMMEDIATE counters he has???
-A leaguer concerned with balance and broken trash champs not one hitting players at lv 5 with 0 items.
