That Feel When You Can't Play Pyke As A Support

Because everyone keeps taking him into the jungle role.

Literally every queue I get into, if Pyke isn't banned, my team's Jungler autolocks him. Never hovers the pick. Just autolocks it. Meanwhile, as soon as I [usually either the last or second-to-last pick of the team] enter queue, I hover over him to show my intent to play him as a support. You know, the role he was MADE TO BE PLAYED IN. No one else ever hovers him. However, whenever the ban phase ends, with him making it through, my Jungler immediately locks him in. I have probably been able to play Pyke maybe once or twice since I got him, solely because EVERY JUNGLER I'VE RECENTLY BEEN QUEUED UP WITH swears straight-up-and-down that he's a "great" jungler.

This is honestly becoming so frustrating that I'm starting to not want to queue as support anymore, solely because I don't see a point, as the only champ I wanna play in that role [as of right now] is Pyke.

Worst part is that he's not a great jgler lol so they proceed to being useless.

ive found quite some success on him in the jg (i dont even use potions. i take hunters machette and rejuv beads (for tiamat). i take precsion secondary tree with legend alacrity for that decent AS bonus, and orb kite the camps. i've had really good success with him in the jg. But you also have to remember he is also a scaling based champion. if he's ahead he's great but if he's behind he's not great at all, in fact terrible. i would rather prefer to call him Burst AD that builds assassin since he can yes do tons of damage, but he can't quite burst fast or hard enough like an assassin can do without the help of his teammates (a ship crew gotta work together!)

i would take him mid/support, but i litterally cannot lane melee rofl [sg-lulu]
