Why Pyke should be a T3 (Blue) champion in TFT. - Suggestion - hope - dream

First let me say that I like TFT -- for the most part.. save Pyke

**First, **Pyke 's mana builds faster then most T2 units (save Blitzcrank ) who starts fully charged. **Second **- of the T2 champs - Pyke and Lissandra are the only champions capable of a full team stun - and Lissandra ulti takes a bit to build up , and she is a "open" target the entire time and only has 450 hp at Bronze level - - while Pyke - gets the added advantage of starting out stealthed- which means rarely if ever is he targeted till after his first ulti , which is normally half to your full team. As well starts with 600hp at Bronze level - Third - for a 6 gold investment you have a ulti that will __literately __save most of your matches for you and finally I do hear that above gold I, you dont see him that much - which is great, but I would guess the bulk of average players are silver 2 - Gold I no?

They need to hit this guy with the nerf bat in the head, hard.. or at least bring him up to T3-4 - his Tier match his utility .
when you look at the Blue, or Tier 3 champions -- Ashe Evelynn Aatrox Gangplank Kennen Katarina Morgana Poppy Volibear Shyvana Veigar Rengar

7 out of 12 of them have AoE attacks - 3 have pretty good "executes" Ashe - can have a very long stuff and Poppy -- uh .. is a yordle? has a popup? -- is poppy?

Meanwhile when you look at the T2 champions - or green champions - only 4 really stand out. Pyke Lulu Varus Shen - this is not to say that the rest are trash, but these seem to be the closet to Pyke 's level of evil. Shen - cancels basic attacks in a large Area Varus - Ulti ends up doing some pretty massive damage Lulu - could be considered the root of all evil as her ulti can cause major upsets as well -

But none of these - stun a entire team for 2 seconds at level 1 - and 2.5 at level 2 - that is a LONG period of time for a Green or Tier 2 champion.

If Pyke was removed from Green (T2) and put to Blue (T3) - maybe exchanged for Poppy

It would make more sense - -multiple T3 (Blue) champions have AoE stuns -

As well Poppy Has Knight - which in general is not the greatest Trait - Yordle can cause issues, but most might rather have a 25% chance to miss - then have there entire team stunned for 2 seconds

It just seems that Poppy should not be a Blue (tier 3) and Pyke should not be a Green (T2) champion..

Make Sense? Am I wrong? --

I think Pyke should be tier 3.

I also think he should be a phantom.

I also think the phantom bonus needs reworked to make use of the fact there are 4 of them.

*2 Phantoms: random target starts at 50% hp *4 Phantoms: Current

Idk, I feel like that's half the point of Pyke. He's a Pirate/Assassin. What are those two classes good at? Early/mid game. Pyke's early game is insane, but I feel like he falls of later and Pirates/Assassins definitely get outclassed by other synergies later.

Lissandra? Full team stun? Uh...
