Necrit made a pretty good video on how (at least I) view in game pyke.

There's a difference though. Other champions can look like worse versions of their splash arts yeah, but what they did was redesign Pyke into Bowser Junior.

I absolutely love his edit. However, I'd rather they keep the bandana as it is. I kind of like it and it seems like a good iconic piece he should keep. Sure maybe make the teeth go a bit lower down the bandana, but I'd prefer to stray away from a dirty brown-red rag around his face.

The eyes and skin however, god bless you Necrit.
