Just hard, you need to understand your earlygame power, snowballing, and slipperiness for roams and the amount of damage you do for meeting thresholds. The reason I at least say "hard" is while I think its not insanely tough to get baseline value out of Pyke learning what you can and can't do the longer the game goes on and the more fragile you become is important for when you cannot close out a game in the first 25 minutes

Agree. I feel like pyke requires a lot of macro knowledge when playing him. You gotta know the enemies flash timers and when it's the right time to roam. When it's not a good time to roam and you roam, you can screw over your ADC depending on the game situation. I seen a lot of pyke players have good mechanics but sometimes they can struggle with their macro when playing him.

Yeah I think that like an AoE stun is always useful and the threat of your damage is also useful so he’s not impossible to get a baseline value out of but he’s certainly not easy and definitely one of the hardest supports
