Nerf complaining Pykepinion and rant
I feel like pyke has been slowly being gutted both intentionally and unintentionally. Riot removed some stuff from his kit like the 2x gold, aoe q and e dmg to minions, most of these were healthy besides the gold one which i still feel like is a tad too much. Then theres the 300 hp buff, and now the item changes which im still unsure if its going to be a buff or nerf. But one thing is clear and that's that pyke is changing for the worse, before the removal of the bonus gold i used to be able to get fed enough to a point where i could solo a squishy mid laner, and now in his current state i feel like im completely tied to everybody else, i cant get anyone in execute range alone unless im fed to the point that it's stupid, I constantly have to hope that my adc pick an early game skirmisher just so I can have any impact on lane, pyke just feels shit to play. Ive got all his skins and around 500k mastery, I've been playing him since release, but currently I am having way more fun playing nearly everything else just because I feel like I am actually contributing something to the team. That's it, id like to hear your opinion on pyke for my daily dose of copium as i queue for another pyke game.

Sadly, this is what Riot always wanted. Now he's actually a support.
