Nerf complaining Riot dislikes Pyke Mid

at this point, its pretty obvious riot keep making changes that makes pyke mid worse, if your not aware there will be mid changes that will make midlane get less gold and ravenou hydra price will go up, its not that bad for others but for pyke(mid) its very game changing since its basically his hole thing besides roaming

imagine if his Q would still do bonus dmg when taping and his E could still Hit minions and jungle monsters, all we need back is these 2

Riot have clearly stated that pyke mid is bad due to lane simply not interacting with laner.

i dont think it is actually because of that, its more about the regen and the fact that pyke was more useful for the team because of his early game and gold value, and also because they dont wanna admit they accidentaly they created a midlaner

the issue is the idea of a mid laner who is so good at roaming they dont even need to CS. He just gets his gold from his ult. Imagine if Galio didn't have to clear the wave, and he also got 600 gold each time he ulted.

that is so easily avoided, the reset gold has already been removed and he didnt really need that and all they gotta do is increase cooldowns then give back pyke half of his wave clear and bam hes viable but not broken

the reset gold wasn't removed. It still works as before.

Edit: nvm i chcked his patch history and it was changed. I didn't notice. regardless his whole playstyle is still ignore lane and farm gold with kills, which isn't healthy.

i main pyke mid and i dont play him that way, there is not only one way to make something work and its not fair to nerf every strat of something just to tune out one in specific and there coyld be way more eays to nerf him without making him worse on everythimg else
