Pyke ruins Supports for me

Honestly, this guy was just created to satisfy the wannabe assassin mains that complain about being autofilled. There is nothing unique or interesting about his design. He is just Thresh with more damage and a free ult reset. A basic assassin with a pathetic "gold-sharing" gimmick attached on so he can be called a "support".

Its laughable that Riot have to pander to people who complain about having to play support once in a while by ruining the game for genuine support players. This guy, Lux, Morgana and Brand have no place in botlane and its laughable that Riot needs to keep playing favourites with them.

I mean, you destroyed Zilean, Kayle - (Used to be a reasonable support pick and Riot destroyed that) and Taric to the point that they are hardly seen in order to replace the role with wannabe assassins and damage dealers.

You really have made variety in this game Riot. sarcasm. Not everyone enjoys killing all the time. Can't have anyone who enjoys playing outside the "meta-approved" favourites, can we Riot?

I actually like that Riot is willing to experiment with unconventional combinations like Pyke. Same thing when they released Ivern, who is a catcher/enchanter played in the jungle position instead of the conventional support position.

Who is currently trash tier while Pyke has such an overloaded kit and damage he'll never drop out of relevance.

zillian and taric have high success rate in the support role especially zillian hyper scales in terms of utility

Zilean was much better in his older form and Taric is just useless without a nearby ADC so has been relegated to one lane only. Great player choice Riot.

no he wasn't what made you assume he was better?

i like how everyone is crying [he was made because assassin/mid laners who get auto filled reeee], i love this champion and he is my favorite support and also my only assassin champion imo he is made for support players who are ready to try something new.

also he is just a thresh? the only thing they freaking share is a hook with cast time and thats it. thats like saying shaco and neeko are the same thing because they share a clone ability...

also both lux and morgana are played as utility supports aka they build like your average boring enchantress if anything.

its just lower elos and those who want to have fun build full ap

I don't think you play Thresh or any support since Pyke is nothing like Thresh the only similar thing is the hook which Pyke hook is much worst.

Also Kayle is a BETTER support then before that is a fact. I mean it's still not good but it's better then before.

Like go play SUPPORT the majority of supports that are good are not damage dealers Lux support is the most played and it has nothing to do with damage in fact if you go damage then it's bad.

Agreed. He should have never been created in the first place. Bot lane will never be the same because they had to cater to the people who cry about being autofilled.

Morgana and Lux were both initially made as supports......

MiracleMorg942 votes

Uh no they were mid lane mages first. Morg was pushed bot by Riot just like Karma and Zyra.

Lux can support as a secondary role but people just use her there as a full ap kill lane for the most part.

Maybe but i twas not Riot that pushed zyra bottom.... I think the first time I remember seeing that was when Cloud 9 first got started..... but I don't play the game consistently so I might have missed somethings here and there. Also Zyra still does a tone of damage last I checked she should be fine mid still in certain match ups.

And then yuumi gets released and everyone remembers why no one likes enchanters, at least in the way riot designs them.
