This is what Pyke can do apparently to Silver.
Okay. Been Playing Pyke Jungle a Lot!
But...... I usually go tank items......
..... you know ..... stuff like that..... that you need versus certain teams.
Welp.
I just happened to have about 2900G when I went to finish my jungle item..... so I said screw it.... and bought
instead.

And wow.
If you look at the game progression, they didn't even have a chance. I was ganking lane by lane at about 1:30 intervals and literally didn't lose a single kill.
Bot after 2 ganks began killing their lane on their own, and Renek got a couple on his own, but for the most part, this was absolute dominance.
And something I want you to take note of:
-
I wasn't using Electrocute or Aftershock. I was using Phase Rush (as I do with most champs). Aka. I wasn't using damage runes at all.
-
Most damage between both teams.
-
I was going full AD, so squishy as hell.
Even if this was a Gold or Plat game, I do not think they could have responded to my snowball. These weren't leeched R kills; these were outright Pyke kills. Most of my 14-24 kill games have about 10-14 Leech kills. This maybe had 2.
And before you say..... my whole team did well:
-
I want you to look at the order of kills:
-
Renek died alone
-
I Set up Fizz level 3 for Orianna kill, and did about half the damage. Orianna killed me with Ignite after Fizz dropped his minions on me with Trickster
-
Me killing Heim
-
Veigar killing Lux on a kill I set up/assisted
-
Renek with me assisting, Fizz solo
-
Me X2, Me assisting Fizz in Sej kill
-
Me assistin MF on Sej, Fizz/Renek Heim
-
Me X 2
-
Me Assist on MF, Me Assist on Veig
-
Me.
I'm not going to go down the list entirely, but all the early game was a
me snowball. 1 person got the entire team fed.
What this boils down to beyond some Brag (I'm not bragging. This is friggin Silver lol)
-Pyke is a viable jungler
-Move speed is more important to winning than any other stat.
-Junglers can win games
-
perhaps is too cheap and too overpowering early game
-WARD GUYS (They didn't ward nearly enough in good places. I literally ran down river and W'd right through their wards).
(By about 16 minutes I was so far ahead my R was half Lux and Lucian's HP. Scary)
