Flamed for not being M7 Skill with Pyke (Or the "Day 1 main" attitude)

Anyone else seeing this, cuz I am seeing it more and more often. With each new champ, it seems this community cant pull the stick out of thier ass. Flaming and degrading players for being "trash" at NEW CHAMPIONS. They sit there and flame people for not being pro skilled with a New champ. I got flamed and called a troll because I was still learning how pyke worked, experimenting in normal draft.

But this sense of entitlement when it comes to how well your team performs is becomming more common, flaming and degrading players for not being LCS skill with a champ only hours after its release. So this community thinks so highly of itself, players arent allowed to be unskilled with NEW champions anymore. If you play a new champ and make a mistake, your team will tear you a new one for not having instantly mastered the mechanics, or being unfamiliar with how a champ works.

Fucking GET OVER YOURSELF ALREADY. Yes, Players can be BAD with a NEW champ that has JUST BEEN RELEASED!

Just mute them and concentrate on your own play. That said with any new champ I'd recommend at least giving them a quick run in practice tool so you have a basic understanding of how their abilities work.

Lots of people are horribly toxic about new changes and complain and harass you that you don't have the optimal build with runes and items and play styles on the first day of changes.

Sorry but there's a learning curve and we don't all sit there and copy LCS players.

Some of us just play the game and pick builds based on our play style since our play styles aren't always the same as LCS players.

I absolutely hate how toxic some people get.

You don't even have any Pyke games played on your account currently.

Haven't played Pyke outside practice/bots yet. Mostly because I'm spamming Butcher's Bridge and also need to get my shit together with Jhin so I can get my 10k this month. But people are fucking idiots, and you should just mute and report them. Like, I'm sorry mastery 7 Pyke main, would you like to play him instead? You sound like you're a god with him. To be honest though it sounds like they're either jealous because they can't play him/too poor to buy him or are just looking for an excuse to get banned. People will flame you for literally anything, though.

If you took pyke first day into ranked, you deserve to be flamed. [sg-shisa]

IN a bout of sheer hillarity, I just got out of a match which we lost because My adc flipped out at me for ulting with pyke "If you want to take kills, then dont play support. Support isnt supposed to take kills, they are supposed to give kills to the adc and die to protect thier adc" Yeah take that shit back to season 2. I am sick of listening to these traditionalists who refuse to actually evolve with the game. I told them "Riot made pyke as an assassin support." and they respond "Then that is Riot's fault, but dont go for kills if you play support"
