Can we get a start-of-game reminder for Pyke's ultimate please?

I saw this post: https://boards.na.leagueoflegends.com/en/c/player-behavior-moderation/LwmUcQRl-im-not-lying-someone-actually-said-this

And the first comment (which has been downvoted into oblivion) made me face-desk and sigh. As a self-proclaimed Pyke main, this kind of dumbass bullshit is more common than it has any excuse to be. People are just outright too ignorant to bother reading the abilities of champions, way too often.

It'd be really nice if we had one of those popup reminders at the start of the game that said something like "Reminder: Enemies executed by Pyke's Ultimate provide kill gold to assisting allies".

As far as abilities go, that interaction is 100% unique out of the champion roster, so just reminding people who might not be super familiar with Pyke that "hey, don't be an asshole, there's literally no reason why Pyke killing an enemy with his ult is a bad deal for you" would (hopefully) mitigate a bunch of ire.

As someone who plays a fair amount of Pyke, it's annoying going into a game knowing it's a coin flip as to whether I get someone who can't be bothered to read his abilities and refuses to listen when I say "you get literally the same gold that I do", and instead opts to whine like a little bitch about their CoD KDA cuz they're in denial about League not being a Team Deathmatch game.

Just a QoL improvement I'd like so hopefully at least some of these people go away.

I think an icon on top of your teammates HUDs explaining pyke's ult would be good.like theirs one for jinx Caitlyn vi, Volibear zilean,interactions. Then there should be one for pyke's ult.

And you should post this in "gameplay",you'll have a better chance there.

I mean it in the nicest way possible, but it's not my/our/Riot's job to make sure other people know what my abilities do.

I wouldn't mind if the message was added, but people who flame and lack common champion knowledge should get absolutely no sympathy. The person in question on that post quite literally could have just asked "Why are you taking my kills?" before resorting to raging and AFKing.
