Anyone else sort of worried about the interactions between dravens passive and pyke's?

2 kills in lane could be absolutely devastating if draven and pyke interact how i think they would.

I agree...I'm really not a fan of gold income in a kit to begin with but their interaction would be very frustrating.

You can't gain both Adoration and Death Below to gain the same kill.

In other words, Draven would gain the Death from Below Gold when Pyke kills, and would gain Draven Gold when Draven kills, which MIGHT get Draven some more gold, but they wouldn't STACK.

Draven's gold per Pyke kill would be equivalent to what it would have been if Draven himself had killed it.

So yes. Draven would always get fed - if the lane went well. But it wouldn't be any more fed than if he was getting the kills himself.

What would be dangerous is...... Pyke would be gearing fast as well, and it'd be more beneficial to the team if Draven just let Pyke get all the kills when his Ult was up, because then Pyke snowballs at the same rate as if he was the carry.

My Concern is Klepto Ezreal or a Klepto Pyke. Pyke has a real easy kit to get Klepto stacks, which means every kill would snowball both.

He's basically the phantom on your back..

But he also looks like a Top laner. Maybe even a Jungler.....if the itemization was adjusted.

He kind of looks like a hybrid between Evelynn TahmKench Swain ...... with all the good parts.

His Passive also converts Bonus HP into AD, so it looks like he's going to be monstrous with an item like item 3748 item 3078 item 3071 item 3022 ...... I can already pull about 500 AD on builds with some of these items, so if he's AD scaling on some abilities...... a 600 AD champ is going to be monstrous..... If his ult scales AD..... I'm guessing his execute becomes like Evelynn's Ult: 1300-1500 damage ult executes... except his resets. (If you build Transcendence with these items You can easily reach 500 AD late game..... and the bonus AD..... if it's 10% of HP = AD, that's like 200 AD. If it's 5%, 100 AD. 3%, 65 AD.... Unless it's some decimal point really low, the conversion's going to be significant.

We'll just have to see if he scales with AD or AP.

Pretty sure it will be coded as an assist for Adoration.

While Draven still gets the gold value as a kill, it's still just an assist. So he should not be cashing in all of his Adoration stacks.
