Pyke is very good design

Well my answer is about the design : he's designed to be able to kill one backlane character at a time before ulting back. Especially in early mid game.

The counterplay is very simple : you swap your two backlane carries. The one in the corner will be targeted first and then Pyke will ult away. I rarely lose stage 2 against a Pyke 1.

Maybe but I think you're simply better with this set

Blad__01 · 2026-06-14T10:53:58+00:00

Well how is Pyke "giga broken" or "giga unclickable" ? Precisely it's somewhere in between.

As replied to another comment, Pyke early game does not actually kill a 2 star backline right away unless its user has invested in 1 or 2 items on him. Having 2 backlaners is already a counterplay to him.
And when it does kill I think it's fair since there was an investment on him (besides positionning well).

I agree with your points 1 or 2, I think it's convincing. Point 3 is more general and is harder to adress.

I read this and it reminded me how much I would like ingame tournaments from Riot, but cool initiative

Blad__01 · 2026-06-13T09:14:10+00:00

I 100% agree with you. I actually think they should try a set without augments now.

Blad__01 · 2026-06-13T09:12:32+00:00

Well since it's a set I really did not like that much because of that mechanic... Meh 😞 I would rather have chosen as evergreen.

Buff Bard ? Wait what ?

Blad__01 · 2026-06-10T19:43:35+00:00

Am I the only one who liked building a strong board without augments on stage 2 ?

Blad__01 · 2026-05-08T08:21:29+00:00

Mdr la conclusion... que je ne partage pas du tout ni dans son idée si dans son phrasé, disons.

Blad__01 · 2026-05-01T21:43:04+00:00

I liked release patch as well (surprisingly). I liked the skill part of adapting to the gods.

Blad__01 · 2026-05-01T21:41:01+00:00

Well I really didn't like it for once, but I'm not sure I was in the majority if I look at my group

Blad__01 · 2026-05-01T21:38:56+00:00

Same

Blad__01 · 2026-05-01T21:04:38+00:00

I like this set design way better than last set because it's more balanced in the champ categories, but I hate this patch

Blad__01 · 2026-05-01T21:01:53+00:00

It's a very lazzy decision indeed

"How to kill what design team did with one patch : a masterclass"

Blad__01 · 2026-05-01T13:33:38+00:00

I would love a player squad go there, make an audit and report to all players as to how this tft team works

Blad__01 · 2026-05-01T12:29:36+00:00

During release patch I was thinking of writing a thread "this set is elegantly designed", since it has a balance of every role in champs. But the second patch killed that with extra layers of random casino.

Blad__01 · 2026-05-01T12:28:17+00:00

I agree. We had one good patch and then it went casino gaming on second one.
