A QoL for Pyke

Ionian Vulpix·Jun 4, 2018·38 votes·13,717 views

Can you please give him a range indicator for his charged Q when you mouse over it? Right now you only see the range for the stab, but it'd be very helpful to see the range his hook can go. The only way to really judge how to do so now is to go into practice tool and memorize or by activating and charging Q, which wastes the mana and CD.

In order to show both ranges, maybe you could make it like Sion's E that shows the range of the attack and then the range the minion will go when hit by it?

if they do this, I hope they do it for Lissandra's Q as well. Both would be nice since I use indicator on quick cast ;w;

Yeah, like the old double circles

Quick question what does QoL stand for?

Quality of life.

Ionian VulpixJun 4, 20187 votes

Quality of Life. Basically a change to make him feel better without actually buffing him.

Upvoted for correct usage of QoL.

That information is useless since you cant use the max range without charging it for 3 seconds and charging it alredy displays the range. What do you want it for? ohh i can hit that guy with my hook, hes in range... i just hope he freezes there for 3 seconds.

It's not useless in any sense of the word though unless your intent is to think only in the span of 3 seconds. Knowing how far the hook goes is important for you to even DECIDE whether or not to start charging Q, where to throw it, etc.

it doesnt take a genius to memorize the range after using it just once.

That isn't the point, don't be dense. The point is to have access to information as reference. Unless you can tell me the exact range of every skillshot and ability in the game without looking it up since you clearly aren't a genius yourself.

BakedLotionJun 5, 20181 votes

You're right. I can't tell you numbers

But I do know how far a skillshot will go in game.

Which is more important?

The point is to have access to the information you say? But exactly what is the point of having this access if you already know how far it will travel lmfao

Another QoL the only of change besides this one I think he q needs half cd refunded if hits a champion with the melee slow part of the q (not the pull) and then he will be in a good spot

OleandervineJun 4, 20184 votes

That's a buff, and I'm not sure if having him constantly be able to quick cast his slow would help him. It would probably make him oppressive, especially if he gets fed and gets into the late game with high CDR where he'd basically be spamming quick casts of his Q to keep opponents from fleeing.

TheGreatNinxJun 5, 20181 votes

Not really quick cast since it's high cd in the beginning (around 9 sec cd or 8 sec cd) and 4cd after cdr and the cd reduction and if slow is used. Now if your immobile then yea he will stick to those targets alot better but 4 second cd shouldn't be short enough to were you have no way of getting out of it (especially with tenacity being a thing ). Not mention you have to be in melee range to even use it.

ZackTheWaffleManJun 5, 20181 votes

CDR is a thing too.

TheGreatNinxJun 5, 20181 votes

edited. I mean 4seconds after cooldown reduction + the buff.

Quality of Life = range indicator adjustments, animation adjustments to match when damage comes out, misc other visual adjustments

Buff = anything that affects numbers

IfnethJun 5, 20181 votes

That would help a lot. Have a faint blue outer ring to indicate the maximum range and a bright blue inner circle to indicate the current range.

another quality of life... would be nice to see when people can be executed regardless of if you're pyke or not.

Ionian VulpixJun 5, 20181 votes

Don't they get a red outline when he can kill them?

from what i've seen only pyke can see the red outline. i could be wrong though. i made that post at like... 4 am in the morning while irritated because the servers were acting up.
