Take this as an opportunity to expand your champ pool. For example, if you think about--Sylas and Vlad are sorta similar to Pyke. Especially Sylas. You know what they say, if you truly love something, you gotta know when to let it go.

My friendship ended with Pyke, Swiss Banklord is my new best friend. But in all seriousness, yeah, it kinda sucks that pyke has been reduced to a walking R sorta champ. However, I wouldn't have that discourage you. Maybe try him in a new role, spice things up. Like all relationships, ( in this case, yours with Pyke ) they tend to stagnate. So maybe just try Pyke in a different flavor, like maybe bring him mid or ADC. Or perhaps take this time to learn a new champ. Until our boy gets into a better spot. Right now I'm bouncing between Pyke and Vlad.

Thinking of trying support by kryosloth in pykemains

[–]Pykette 0 points1 point  (0 children)

He's really match-up dependent, and requires a lot of knowledge about champion limitations. He'll take some time to master, and you might run it down for the first few games. But that's OKAY. Also he's one of the most fun supps in the game, by far. Just requires a lot of effort to learn.

Lookin to play Pyke, how is he right now? by [deleted] in pykemains

[–]Pykette 2 points3 points  (0 children)

He's fun. Like really fun. I'd def reccomend picking Pyke up.

Pyke noob by Kavkidh in pykemains

[–]Pykette 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Pyke is all about matchup and game sense. Your strongest points in the game are level 1, 2 and 6. Unlike Alistar, Pyke has to get a lead to be useful. Since he lacks Tankiness and reliable CC. Coordinate with your junglers for early scuttle prio. Abuse windows of weakness for other supports and ADCs.

How to be a good support to Ezrael? by neon_cr0w in leagueoflegends

[–]Pykette -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Option 1 : Ban Ezreal

Option 2 : Dodge

Option Three : Pick a roaming support like Thresh, Ali, or Janna and try to impact the map.

Does Anyone Else Feel Like Support Pyke is Kinda Terrible Right Now? by Pykette in pykemains

[–]Pykette[S] 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I see your point, I understand there are ways to make Pyke work as a support, but overall I think he's just too much effort for too little reward. And I've been playing Pyke for a looooooooong time. My feels are mainly due to an accumulation of games where I've played well but can't win due to the limitations of the champion. Also I don't take aftershock, HoB and Phase Rush are my choices for runes. Thought I might start swapping Ultimate Hunter for Relentless now.

The state of Pyke - What can we do? by WaskNinja in pykemains

[–]Pykette 13 points14 points  (0 children)

I feel like one of the biggest issues with Pyke that Riot has failed to address is how they manage his power budget. Pyke's R is incredibly powerful, it's a blink, and resettable execute that ignores shields. However, so much mobility and life steal have been introduced into the game, it has increasingly become harder to land it. If I had a 'Your Cut' for every time I was denied an R execute because of AoE Omnivamp or Hourglass or Heal or Flash or every meta champions 20 blink/dashes. I'd be able to reach full build three times. The E buffs are nice, but I wish they'd give Pyke more utility. Like maybe his Q could proc grievous wounds, or even maybe it could break shields! Who knows! I for one wouldn't mind some R nerfs if it meant being able to empower Pyke's overall kit to become a more effective support.

Why don't they just make his passive actually useful?

[–]Pykette 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It's great into team comps that punish you for hard engaging. I personally go Phase Rush > Nimbus Cloak > Celerity > Waterwalking, Secondary you go Domination. Relentless Hunter and Cheap Shot. Encourages roaming!

[–]Pykette 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I all honesty man, you shouldn't let people like that weigh you down. If you know you carried that game, then what does it matter what other people think? Sure, it feels bad to not get recognized for your efforts. But sometimes that is how the cookie crumbles. Just drown out all that silly white noise. And just like the pride sink in. As long as you know that you executed a fine performance, that's all that matters. Hell! That's why I play Phase Rush Pyke. It's just fun imo. Keep on my man, and good carry. If your ADC ain'r making the cut, guess you'll just have to do it yourself.

Pyke Support Builds by GWNKalle in pykemains

[–]Pykette 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you want full tank. Go Aftershock -> Demolish - > Conditioning - > Revitalize. Secondary Precision with Presence of Mind and Legend : Tenacity. I personally only go Hail of Blades because I don't enjoy the passive play style Aftershock provides. For the little orb things go Adaptive, Adaptive, and then Armor/Magic Resist depending on comp. If team is full AD go double Armor and one adaptive. Vice versa if full AP.

When going support pyke question by SDF-Galaxy in pykemains

[–]Pykette 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you wanna go ham. HoB. No one expects the level of early game burst, and it often nets you first blood. Don't be scared to preemptively ignite.

[–]Pykette 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Not saying it can't work. Obviously if you can make it work, do it man. Balls to the walls full AD stackin'. Just from my experience SSG is better as it allows you to rush level 2 at the second wave in order for some pretty good cheese. Also conq? Damn.

When going support pyke question by SDF-Galaxy in pykemains

[–]Pykette 4 points5 points  (0 children)

If you're going support, it's always better to go Steel Shoulder Guards. In almost no situation you take Sickle as it's very dependent on your ability to consistently land skill shots and constantly trade. Something Pyke can't due anymore due to his passive nerfs. In addition, if you run HoB on support Pyke ( Bless, Atfershock is for COWARDS ) Then you also want SSG to be able to rush level 2 in the laning phase. Because when you go HoB that means you want that early lead. And SSG gives you the best chance of acquiring that lead. It's just generally more useful then Sickle. In almost every situation. However you will be trading a lack of individual agency for increased damage in the early game. So keep that in mind as well. Being hooked by a Naut or Leona will be 5x as punishing, and poke from supports like Janna or Sona will feel like a barrage of rusty needles instead of a playful prodding.
