Nerf Pyke

Some bozo thought a 2.5s+ AoE stun on an Assassin that can remove aggro during the fight was a good idea.

Edit: a 2 star assassin at that

Shojin Pyke is the dumbest thing right now.

If you’re not building Pyke or trying to “counter” Pyke (with PD), you might as well roll over.

No idea how they released a patch without immediately nerfing this guy.

Seriously. Pyke and a well itemized Draven are severely OP.

Pyke needs a nerf or what really needs to happen is..

A.) You can't place multiple of the same champion in your field. B.) You can't stack multiple of the same item (Spear of Shojin in this case.)

That'd solve more problems than just Pyke imo.

• "fun"
• "engaging gameplay"

Autochess literally plays itself, it has neither of these qualities.

are the champions I personally want nerfed. Draven is way overpowered and outclasses all other Ranged champions by far Lulu's ultimate spam is awful to play against (just remove the knockup already) And sejuani, even tho she is rare, she has one of the best ultimates in tft with it being able to stun a entire team if the rngjesus gives you his blessing

they definitely need to make it more risky to play him. He needs to be punished for a bad engage or getting caught.

Hoping on the "plz nerf bat" train.

Lol I love how people are finally learning about SOS Pyke xD. You see that shit every game now and it sucks. Tbh the problem is SOS, it's stupid on most champs you can put it on.

Ya hes definately to strong, especially for a assassin. Id say make his stun .75/1.25/1.75 and make it take 30% long to charge, it just goes off to fast atm.

Pyke is so broken it even carries over into tft ;)

i dont know why pyke even starts with mana tbh

Pyke is fine IMO, just nerf Spear of Shojin so it doesn't stack then he won't stun as often.

Double SOS can feel pretty broken on many Champs like Blitzcrank or Lulu.

Hoooooonestly yeah pikes busted but if you nerf him you're removing assasins from the game period. He carries that comp on his back.

I think AI improvements and maybe like making him way squisher would help more than just nuking a comp from orbit. The problem i find with pyke is not that the stun is to strong or sho'jin is to strong , there's counterplay to that. The problem i have with pyke is that if you stick your PD tanks in the back like you're suposed to do vs assassins Pyke is just going to hit your tank twice, get bored, and procced to draw a penis across your entire team, nulifying any "tactics" you might employ.

A thought. Sorcs generate more mana from autoattacking yes? maybe make it so assassins generate next to no mana from AA's but crits also crit mana (just regular 25% baseline crits any unit in the game can perform). That way if a pyke is wailing on a PD it'll take him forever to charge his ult and not just run off.
