As we all know, Pyke has been designed to be a support, with stuff like Q having a big non-champ dmg penalty to avoid him being picked jungle.
However, since the MSI finals, the popularity of Pyke top has skyrocketed. So, as the title suggests, do you think Riot will take a look to see whether it's healthy or not?
Also, if you think he should be a support and nothing else, how would you force him to be so?
As a Pyke (support) player I've not seen much of top lane pyke, I haven't heard much about it being problematic, just the usual 'support in another lane stuff', so personally I'm fine with him being viable top, even if it undermines his fantasy
No. Because he is an assassin. Assassins are allowed to do whatever they want wherever they want because reasons.
What is wrong with going pyke top? I got level 7 from doing that, and he's also really easy to counter. (pick fiora or someone with heals and dashes)
Pyke is a failed concept. You can't create an assassin who lives off large amounts of gold, and make him a support at the same time.
Pyke is a pick/teamfight champ with a disgustingly overloaded kit, Tbh I knew from the start he wouldn't stay in the support role for too long.
Riot is pushing this game into a call of duty style game, and certain champs like pyke and sylas fit this new meta perfectly.
I love how when people complain about variety in games then turn and say stuff like this. Innovation is frowned on in League.
