I don't want to sound negative, but I'm really disappointed in Pyke.

Balance issues of spotting everyone gold when this dude gets kills (when people are already complaining about snowballs) aside. This my initial thoughts about Pyke.

They had an opportunity with Pyke to do a water based terrifying creature who was a senseless, blood-thirsty, psychopath who is on a revenge fueled warpath. (think Jason Voorhees) However, his kit and look just seems so vanilla. He looks like an elderly Ekko (honestly, I thought it was Ekko) he walks like pre-VGU swain, and his kit (outside of his W) doesn't even fit his theme (his list, shark, manta ray teaser pic?) His story is just Nautilus' before the update to lore.

There's no creativity to his gameplay, and while I appreciate him not being stacked with 3-4 passives per ability I don't see anything that pops out as "wow, that's creative." I love the art and story team, and I think they do a great job, but I just feel a lot of let down from this release.
