Pyke Is Too Strong to Share Kill Gold

Power Cosmic··6 votes·1,151 views

If solo-top Pyke shares kill gold, shouldn't all tops do so? It seems like gold-sharing is a concession made to a champ with holes in their kit. Pyke can hold is own solo top at the highest level. That gives quite the indirect buff to junglers and roaming mids on his team. The opposition does not gain a definitive advantage in trade for Pyke having that massive team asset in a solo lane (a full damage champ sharing bounties). Pyke (or the game) should be balanced so solo laning he exist to setup his jungler or other teammate, not win lane or be a kill threat unless ulting on top of someone else's damage. Basically he should lose all solo trades unless monumentally ahead building tank. All in all, he has to be a bad laner if he has such a massive asset in his kit. Something that can give a team an extra 2k gold in 2 seconds should have quite the cost in someone's power budget.

2k extra gold in 2 seconds..... Yeah, there is a sub-board called "Rant"

BTW pyke DOES lose almost all lanes 1v1. If you saw, wunder was very behind in that game in the 1v1 in farm. He just turned it around with plays and executes. He was never threatening/valuable going in alone.

bounties in late game team fights.... and can easily be around even in lane at pro level which is not equitable. To have that extra gold it is only balanced to be bad solo

So, your team has 2 people with 1k bounty on them, and you can't win the game? Sounds like pyke WAS weak in the early game and that is how your team got the 1k bounties in the first place, now they positioned like trash and somehow got ulted within 2 seconds of eachother. Sounds like your team was the one that fucked up big time.

Around even in lane? Are you tripping rn? Check pyke's cs before the jungler's intervention and the double kill Pyke got. LOL

When pyke was 0/0/0 or 0/1/0 he was like 30 cs behind xD.

It would b better 4 all if people explained why they disagree instead of just downvoting, prolly not even reading the post.
