Patch should release tomorrow, IF(and the key word is "IF") you are lucky he will be available on the same day as release. Sometimes they wait a few days to make new champions available but normally its same day.

Heres the cold hard reality thought. On first Day you have to be hopeful of a lot of extra things well:

If draft, Hope you are first pick and he isn't banned

If Blind Pick, hope your PC is faster than everyone else and your trigger fingers are quick. A week after patch is typically the best time to play a new champion/reworked champion.

Basically this xD I never, and I mean NEVER, even try to Draft if I wanna play the new champ. The odds are just so heavily stacked against you. You gotta be first pick, declare him, hope to god the enemy team wants to play him therefore they won't ban him either, THEN still hope you're the first first pick before them haha. I just jump into blind and try to spam declare him until it works out xD

Grasp seems like a weird choice. I mean I guess it does give max hp which is cool for his passive, but that rune is usually best on people who enjoy extended trades early in the game. Something pyke definitely doesn't like given how squish he is.

As far as I know the bonus health from Grasp doesn't get converted into AD.

Then that's even more reason to question this rune page xD all you'd get is a small heal. I'd rather have the burst of electrocute proabably

Warlord RhinarkMay 29, 20181 votes

No I mean you get both the heal and the health as Permanent health.

When I say it isn't converted, I mean it's added to your health pool instead.

Oh interesting, so his passive doesn't consider it "bonus health?" Still I don't think he'd proc it enough times to get a meaningful amount of health out of it. But good to know!

Why would you build Locket though?

His health gets converted into AD (I know Overgrowth doesn't but still)

Because he has a large base hp (i think it gets argound 2800 at lvl 18 if I'm not mistaken) so locket would be worth it. If not locket, any defensive item would be okay. I would even go as far as taking item 3056 , he has a diver potential right? Or item 3065 but only if they have 2 or 3 ap champs. Now that i think about it, item 3742 is rly nice aswell on him

But Locket doesn't scale with BASE HP.

Only BONUS HP.

It even says so when you mouse over it.
