Like sure, he can be annoying. But I don't think I've ever fought or played him and genuinely thought he felt overtuned. Like, the most annoying part about him for me is his ability to get out of sticky situations, but usually thats also his way in to do damage so I'm not all that upset about it.
Idk, I just don't feel like hes powerful enough to deserve the witch hunt he's receiving right now.
YES
You are.
You can't see how OP he is on the surface, because it's all in gold generation. I agree that his abilities aren't that bad themselves, it's the ult gold that's ridiculous.
His ult's base damage is too high and his W is just dumb because the absurd amount of in-combat sustain.
Those are my biggest issues with him. He wouldn't get away with so much, even with the gold generation, if those two things didn't make him so safe and simple to play.
I agree, Skarner is much worse.
Delete Skarner.
He's not powerful right now. They nerfed the hell out of two of his abilities.
But people are still dying to him and don't understand that it's because he can still mainly do his support job... and at the same time got a massive pay raise that basically negates every nerf for most of the game.
When you give someone extra gold for not performing any better than they used to, it's gonna throw the champ out of whack. Like if they suddenly doubled the amount from Parrrley, Loaded Dice, or Adoration.
He rewards bad players too much and it's very hard to punish.
You make a mistake on any support, now you die and probably lose laning phase off that. You make a mistake on Pyke, just run away and regen.
You miss all your abilities on other supports, you are useless. You miss everything on Pyke, let your ADC and jg do all the damage and collect 1800 gold for your team by pressing R twice.
It's about risk vs reward. With Pyke, it's lower risk higher reward than any champ in the game by a million miles.
He is not that good and I can tell you why. Earlier today I played a game with my friend where he was and adc and I was pyke. We had 8 kills by 10 mins and won lane hard but that didn’t matter at all because our mid lane that I helped out earlier decided to go 0/10 and put jungled had no clue what he was doing and would constantly try to 1v3. Our top lane was doing okay but he also kept trying to 1v2 and 1v3. Our team refused to group so there was nothing we could do. As long as this game does not promote solo carrying and one person can flat out lose you the game it won’t matter what champion you play. There are some champions that are better then others at carrying though. Examples would be: kha zix, Diana, rumble, and Annie. These champions all have extreme burst on low cd so you can insta burst most of the enemy team making it easier to carry. Champions like pyke are not nearly bursty enough to do this and need a team to back them up.
No of course not OP. Don't be ridiculous.
In every Pyke thread that talks about how much they hate facing Pyke, there's at least one or two people who were downvoted into oblivion sharing your same thoughts.
