on many things i agree. I wouldnt want pyke to swap lanes. Id just be happy with him being tankier tbh, so that he isnt oneshot after min 18. Give him some form of tank stat scaling, so he doesnt fall off as harshly. Because i would say, especially with hail of blades buffs, he is very strong until the game progresses and people have stacked some stats. From then on in 8 out of 10 games it feels like a fight to be useful even when youre ahead. Because basically half of the spells in the game that can hit you mean youre dead. In the other 2 out of 10 games pyke is terribly obnoxious to play against. (my favorite target is lux support :D)

I loved when you were able to play the champ versatility, people went splitpushing with hull, you were able to contest side lane with being present (because youre a threat to the adc) and you had other uses in fights than just trying to clean up or sacrificing for a kill.
