With champions like Pyke, is it any wonder why League is losing people?
To call this
thing a "support" is laughable. His entire kit is as overloaded as
and his 2 forms of mobility are so overloaded, with a free stun and on no cooldown that it really does dictate the game that Riot is going for now.
This is what League has become, champions without consistent, auto-refreshing mobility are almost completely worthless now. Let's take a champion like
that has 22 seconds on her claw, which is reasonable for a versatile mobility spell, but this rule does not apply to assassins or champions that happen to be "popular" because they can get kills without counter-play.
Counter play is hardly even a thing now, the games are made to appeal to Korean hyperactive reflexes (Because they have nothing better to do with there lives... It is Korea after all) and the game has completely spiralled into a continuous mess of damage and mobility.
Not to mention
's "Ultimate" which is pretty much on the par with a
one shot and feels completely uninteractive and almost completely unfair. They should have made it like
's cage, with a slight delay so it can be dodgable but that would require too much precise timing and skill, its a HUGE ability.
How else would Riot sell such obvious power creep?
It seems this day, Riot is compromising the game's integrity for single minded profit.
The level of hypocrisy is mind-boggling,
can go ANY lane and yet, when other "supports" try, like
,
etc, they are reworked to be COMPLETELY locked to the support role. How exactly is this fair? Is it just because Pyke is an AD Assassin and AD Assassins always get preferential and more popular treatment?
. All are viable, and even without them.... E through minions > Q through minions early-mid game kills waves.
is actually a good item on him. Attack speed boosting + Move speed + HP + Phage... speeds clears even more, and makes attacking tankier bruisers like
.....who all coincidentally meta. He also technically needs
banned on knowledgeable teams who know how to play with Braum. He's a guaranteed stun/death on Pyke.
