I was seeing those pyke trailers and i gotta say im preety exited.However ive been seing a lot of hate coming from this comunity for him.I think it has to be said without any sarcasm GJ RIOT!! He looks god dammed awsome he is very well designed in all the ways,and it will bring more suport mains on the table.

This board has a hard on for hating on any new champ so you'll probably be mass downvoted but I agree Pyke looks awesome.

Its because there are soo many CURRENT champs that are lackluster/boring/NEED HELP in this current game. We see the new champs do the same things just better.

Both of those champions are on the rework list, and are probably being worked on as we speak.

Mordekaiser is not being worked on , But Nunu is being worked on and his visual design is already finished

More than half of those champions just need small tweaks or fixes.

Lux just needs some numbers tweaks IMO, not a full rework.

Sun Wu Ryuumoku1 votes

she needs tweaks, not only numbers. But yeah not a full rework, a light one as with Xin would be enough.

Venging Angel2 votes

Not sure about Lulu, Lux and Janna needing updates. Lux is way overgeared atm. And, Lulu and Jana? Well they are suffering from Karma-itis - because "how dare you shield the adc and stop me getting ez killz? Shield supprots is too stronk."

Sun Wu Ryuumoku1 votes

But they're. They negate offensive skill without skills. Lux shield is the most fair (his shield isn't an issue). Janna and lulu just point and clic and their adc has a big shield. Janna press R, and she's safe again despite mispositionning (along a big heal). Lulu polymorph is the worst sh*t.

Nope. Lulu doesn't need it. Just because you can't fight your opponent doesn't mean they deserve a rework. Janna is stupid, and has no counterplay, but Lulu, Rammus, Panth, Quinn, MF, Malza,KASSADIN, ASHE, AMUMU and Karthus? Seems to me you'd die to any champion, but these were the ones who you got stomped by recently...

Sun Wu Ryuumoku2 votes

Lulu doesn't need it.

Definitly need it, like most shield users. And her point and clic polymorph isn't healthy for the game (like all point and clic hard cc).

Then alot of champions would have to be reworked, then we would have absolutely no champions who are point and click. (Who aren't even the most OP, HOW ODD EH!?!?!?!?) Who's more cancerous and grants kills? A Darius or a Pantheon? Lulu has uniqueness in her kit, it's called being versatile. Her polymorph is exactly meant for idiots not to go 1v2 the adc and be like: Omg adc so strong rito pls nerf. Her shield isn't even as strong as Janna's, and CAN'T shield towers. Her slow doesn't even have much range, and does little to no damage. And her ult is actually great. Lulu, Rammus, Panth, Quinn, MF, Malza,KASSADIN, ASHE, AMUMU and Karthus? Yes, I do question their need for a rework. Malzahar is kind of meh except for his ult.

Panth is more cancerous.

?? who talk about 1v2. JESUS you're so biased.

Malzahar is kind of meh except for his ult.

thats why he need another rework. Cause riot's forced to let him "weak" due to his ult and cause they're no fair counterplay against him.

Pantheon can not be as opressive as Darius with his stupid passive. You're dreaming. "Who talks about 1v2. JESUS you're so biased." Literally every stupid assassin main who complains on why he cannot go through 4 people, one shot the adc and safely get out. :)

only cause he's in trouble since riot changed minion aggro. You can outplay Darius, you can't outplay :

  • a range point and clic
  • a point and clic hard cc

And again, i say this, but i win both match up most of time.

Luckily, Rito said that they would be scaling down the rate of new champions and increasing the rate of reworks and updates!

Or maybe it's not due to a "hard on for hating on any new champ".

Maybe it's actually because it sounds like he's an assassin with multiple hard crowd-control abilities that has a large True Damage dash with a reset mechanic that is AoE damage and he can function as an assassin while also being a gold-disadvantaged support.

That might be how they are portraying him in the reveal.

FilDaFunk6 votes

It won't really bring anymore support mains to the table. It might just move assassin players to the support role, but don't expect them to start playing Lulu or Janna.

People will always hate on new champions no matter what. Ignoring it works quite well and until you try the champion for yourself, you can't judge if it's going to be "OP" or not.

Honestly I am glad. Not because its a new champion with a good design, but it will stop people from autolocking in something stupid like Talon or Zed and "Supporting". I mean at least take the relic shield and upgrade it at least once.

Zed support isnt even bad tho zzz.

Venging Angel2 votes

Don't speak too soon. I'm waiting for him to be hijacked by another laning group. Remember how Rumble, designed as a poke support, suddenly found himself on top lane and the jungle. I'm expecting something similar to happen to Pyke - he'll eventually evolve into "yet another assassin" - probably ending up in the jungle (as Youmuus' Youtube stream today seemed to suggest). And us support mains won't even get a chance to play him in about a year or two.

Please let him stay as a support.

Leetri1 votes

From what a Rioter said about the playtests it looks like his jungle clear is terrible and he has really low HP after clearing, so he's gonna be an OK at best jungler. Anyone who can invade is most likely gonna kill him or force him to give up camps.

Agreeing with you there about the bad clear - but then there are some champs out presently which have bad clear (e.g., Kindred). I am thinking is that all it takes is a buff or two, and suddenly he will migrate out of support role.

I like the champion in many ways, but I'm worried about balance.

Malix Farwin1 votes

Not sure how you got that from the community, all the threads saying positive things about Pyke gets upvoted and people saying negative things get downvoted. I think the community as a whole love pyke and think he is a shining example of the type of supports that can get more people playing the role. He is extremely unique in that lane.

CrestfallenNight1 votes

It kinda bothers me, as a support main, that they had to bring this champion for people to play i t more. I mean, I don't like that maining support is already mainstream AF, but whatever. I do think it's just funny how these autofilled supports now think they will stomp with Pyke when im here with my Braum smilling: Come on then! He's not gonna be godlike/unstoppable.

His ult is borderline broken. As an assassin main and a darius/urgot/garen player i can say that his ult is easily abuseable as a pub stomper. He has a hook too, so really he just needs to hook, let Draven do his thing and then press R. YOU CAN NOT play paper glass champs like sona against this guy. That being said id perma ban lulu if i play him as supp.

auto ban to prevent supports from inting. Then reports will flood in for banning him and people want to play him in ranked day 1. Will be good times.

Even though I am a support main, I will suspect that I will not be playing too much in ranked for the next little while when my teammates pick him for roles out of support.
