Rito, I've gotta say...

Good fucking job on Pyke.

His lore is probably my favorite part about him, though. If you've read the lore for him, then you'll know why. The whole Blood Harbor Ripper thing is really well done. Seeing the world through Pyke's eyes was a very cool way of doing his color story, and that small little twist at the end of the story involving the manifest was nice. And all of the bits and pieces about the Sunken City... I really has my curiosity piqued.

I'm normally an Aurelion Sol man, but I decided to buy Pyke on a whim, and after reading his lore, this man is a really well designed champ. I'm probably gonna pick him up now. His whole theme as this watery revenant is extremely well realized. Pulling people to their doom is an awesome feeling. Combined with his W, having your opponents never know when you're going to pop up and just snatch them away is exhilarating. And the SFX for Pyke is really well done, especially when you do his ghost water dive. And his R. That things is awesome. Killing 3 people in a row with it is perfecto. That music that accompanies a successful Death From Below is a great little touch.

Overall, with his SFX, visuals, lore, and gameplay together, he really is a well done champ. Gotta hand it to you, Rito. You may put out champs whose designs don't particularly vibe with me (glances at Kai'sa), but you definitely add a little something for everyone.

They kinda fked up his in game in general. His abilities and voice lines don't match his lore personality sadly. Annd he doesn't look like he got eaten by a fkin sea monster then revived as a undead. He looks almost normal..

I mean, Pyke's lore is literally Nautilus' old lore.

I made an alternate account just to buy him using the early boost of BE.

He is stupidly fun and so far the only assassin I'm any good at.
