Introduction
My name is Hotrod08(NA), and I am a Diamond IV Support player coming out of Season 7. I create weekly build videos (as well as other support-focused content), and am going to post MobaFire builds on here for each release of a new guide that I put out.
This MobaFire guide is going to feature Pyke, which will be based on making his laning phase rather strong while also providing him durability within team fights later on in the game.
6/9/18 Edit: I switched the build and video along with it to match what has been tried and true to work on Pyke. I am also not the biggest users of MobaFire, but I decided that it was worth my time to edit the guide to make it more visually appealing to my audience, so I hope you enjoy the changes! Please let me know any more tips you'd like from me too if you can think of any :)

PASSIVE: Gift of the Drowned Ones
When Pyke is unseen by enemies, he rapidly regenerates some of the health recently lost to enemy champions. Pyke also converts his bonus health into bonus attack damage instead.
Q: Bone Skewer
Tap: Pyke stabs and greatly slows all enemies in front of him.
Hold: Pyke readies and then throws his harpoon, impaling the first enemy struck and pulling them a fixed distance towards him.
W: Ghostwater Dive
Pyke dives into spectral waters, entering camouflage and gaining a significant increase to his movement speed that decays over a few seconds.
Camouflage hides Pyke from view while enemies remain outside his immediate area. Attacking or casting spells immediately ends camouflage.
E: Phantom Undertow
Pyke dashes, leaving behind a drowned phantom. After a delay, the phantom returns to Pyke, damaging and stunning enemies it passes through.
R: Death From Below
Pyke strikes in an X-shaped area, blinking to champions and executing those below a certain flat amount of health. Enemies in the X that are not executed take damage equal to this amount.
When a champion dies in the X, the last ally to assist also gains full kill gold and kill credit, and Pyke can instantly use Death from Below again for a short period of time.
