That riot was not done with pyke being a joke. They needed more broken.
Can riot please explain to me how their game works before i form my own opinion. Because honestly my opinion is the one where everyone is killed in the room due to a game of like thrones betrayal.
iiGazeii2 votes46% winrate
boricCentaur12 votesUmmmm what? Like her playrate isn't high,her winrate isn't high and her banrate is around the standard banrate for a new champion. SO WTF DO YOU MEAN?
Her base stats in game are pretty low and requires her to play around her passive making support the go to role, where you better fucking hope the enemy has low engage and almost no assassins or you bot lane is fucked.
Verxint1 votesYes because we've never seen a champ get released with a mediocre winrate and then 3 weeks from now people figure out how to play them and they're widely considered broken. Right now she might actually be a better solo laner than support, but we'll have to see once people learn her.
Just about every new champ Riot releases ends up needing nerfs after time though.
Illabethe1 votesExcept in this case she literally has 2 built in permanent nerfs.
She can't build significant Auto attack speed. Crit doesn't boost her damage much. Her Range doesn't compensate much for her lack of non auto reliant skills.
Champions like Nautilus/Brand/Jinx absolutely dominate her
Verxint1 votesUsually when Riot adds things like that they have a tendency to overcompensate for it. Pyke had a built in nerf and it didn't stop him from being obnoxious for a while.
Illabethe1 votesThey really didn't here, and original Pyke before they tried to make him Support exclusive and an Ult bot was fine.
boricCentaur11 votesTHE OP SAID THE STATS SHOWED SHE IS BROKEN MEANING CURRENT STATS WHAT HAPPENS IN THE FUTURE DOESN'T MATTER HERE!!!
Pyke on release was shit and only tank pyke was good after buffs.
Kaisa was super shit on release.
But you know keep lying to yourself.
