Pyke changes

The Ecdysiast··2 votes·1,750 views

I think it'd be reasonable to undo the near removal of his Q and E in exchange for the resets on his R. Maybe give him one cast per kill, per rank in the ability. Up to 3 total at rank 3.

I also think they need to stop pretending they designed a support and admit the entire champion design works better as a solo laner or jungler, and then change him based on the new position. But apparently there are enough people at bot lane who like getting killed by a true damage execute assassin that disagree.

Maybe if they were actually making changes that make him a better support, rather than making changes that only make him a worse solo laner, I'd be more inclined to agree with him being a support. But they aren't.

Did you not know his E doesn't deal damage to minions any more and his Q bonus from snapcasting it is gone?

It kinda sucks because I personally LOVE pyke, but I hate support. I played him solo/jg for a while after his release, but Riot seems extremely intent on keeping him as a support, unfortunately for me. And I get, he's SUPPOSED to be a support, that's his job. However, it sucks that they seem to be making changes that FORCE him to be a support, rather than suggest that to be the best playstyle.

They're not even making changes that make him a better support than solo laner. They're just nerfing his ability to solo lane so he's forced to be a bad support.

Yep. What sucks is, I want to play him but I actually can't without learning other supports, since I Garen tee that I won't 100% be able to get pyke every time. So unless I basically become a support player I can't use Pyke, wonderful.

Hell, with how much he's been gutted you might.

You'll be more likely to lose, but hey, you'll get to.
