Every time I have a like on my team, they're do nothing more than that your patience. I mean they're so toxic, they could burn holes right through a hazmat suit.

Edit: I don't mind meta breaks or even just having a bad game. The players I see are being genuine assholes

We need more good PC exclusive games. If league is put in enough jeopardy Riot might start giving a rat's ass about what the players think.

Interestingly, I've never encountered a Pyke player yet who hasn't been super nice. One time one instalocked Pyke when I called support, but apologized and was genuinely sorry (and let me go mid so I could practice Cho). We wound up doing really well together. Other ones I've met have just been super nice.

I'm sorry you've only encountered crappy players, you shouldn't have to go through with that, but you have just been having bad luck.

This happens every time a new champion gets released. Especially when they break the meta.

People on all sides are just trigger-happy to go off on each other about it.

In the eyes of your fellow players you're either someone who hates people for picking pyke without knowing how to play him, or you're a pyke player who feels entitled to play pyke despite everyone else's wishes. Nobody wins and everyone blames each other.

I've never understood people's predilection towards thinking they can tell what other players to pick or not to pick for their role. They then generally balk at them being told what to pick. Idk

It's human nature, people get themselves into ruts or patterns. They get used to playing the game "by the book" aka following the meta. They build up expectations about how the game is "normally" played and that it "should" be played that way.

They also expect a lot of everyone else without ever communicating that to them. People get caught up in the game and in their own selfish desires. Some people care way too much about winning, while others care way too little about winning and instead care only about having fun.

There is no right or wrong position on the spectrum between fun and trying-to-win, what is wrong is when people assume other players are like them, and then get pissed off and feel betrayed when they discover that this random stranger that they never tried to coordinate or communicate or build trust with has suddenly violated their expectations.

And it goes both ways, it's really upsetting for a tryhard to discover that their teammate feels okay with playing something they don't know how to play well "just because it seems fun to them." And it's really upsetting for a fun-seeker to discover that their teammate thinks "it's okay to tell them how to play."

And then some guy picks Fizz jungle.

My comment really isn't about off-meta picks.

It's just about how people's expectations shape their reactions when they are met with strangers in-game.

I was a Pyke support last night. Got along well with my teammates. Was as helpful as I could. Left the first enemy turret before it died so the ADC would get all of the extra gold.

Was a good game. :)

But yasuos will be yasuos. It is proven by science that your yasuo will always feed and the enemy's yasuo will always be godlike.

I don't think pyke has yet that ability to become the most prominent meme.

I mean, It would be nice if Pyke gets perma banned, And i could pick up Yasou again. But one can only hope :/

TLDR: FUCKING REWORK YASOU.
