I take it back. New Pyke isn't THAT bad.......
Yup. I've tried it a couple times recently.... and gotta say...
At least in low elo......
OMFG I've never seen a Pyke carry this hard....

The first one's probably one of my 7 most broken games I've played with him.
I was more or less soloing for the first 26 minutes of the game. I mean that. Literally. These guys don't know what an objective is. I pretty much had 3/4 of the team's kills/contributions up until then, and they got to a Base turret. What did my team do? They died diving the turret 3 times in a row. Twice it was less than 20% HP. Not one of them even attacked it.
For them to actually get that turret finally at 26:00, I had to pretty much solo Ace the other team by myself (Quadra, but the 5th wasn't there defending..... shame.... Zac showed up 40 sec later, so I didn't get the Penta, although I did get the kill off him too)
But yeah..... this team.... totally didn't know how to play vs Pyke. Or maybe it was just my Pyke (I play him differently than 98% of players). I don't know. If I was the Ahri, I would have stomped Pyke. If I was the Zyra, I would have stomped me. All I know is..... Lethality's not bad. At a lower elo........
(I haven't tried him higher yet. Scared to)
or something to that effect. Depends on the team, tbh.
