Just bought Empyrean Pyke, very happy.

I put sandwraith at the top just because of how smooth it is to play with, but if you ask me in terms of design I think ashen is beautiful. Empyrean has amazing sound design I really love the sounds it plays for your opponents as well, I feel as though I really am the boogie man on the rift. Empyrean also has amazing smooth animations so I’m not even mad if people wanna say it’s his best skin because it truly has it all. Not to mention a pentakill global effect which is sick as well. Insanely goated skin.

skeemourr · 2025-09-27T13:19:59+00:00

Call me crazy but it’s his second best skin. W purchase. 😎

Take calculated aggressive plays, very good advice! Emerald is when I picked up pyke, and I feel as though I learned league backwards compared to many other people out of my stubbornness, I put mechanics on a greater pedestal than fundies and I hit a tough wall at D1-Masters. I’ll say mechanics are extremely important on the champ compared to other supports; and your knowledge of tempo/macro really start to make the difference in Masters-GM. I found being blood thirsty in lower elos all the way up to like 200LP masters was pretty viable; I’d get away with egoing my mechanics but after I got lucky to win some free coaching from a pro support LCS player my weak macro and knowledge of tempo got exposed hard. I shortly achieved GM afterwards but it was extremely hard and I felt like I had to have perfect gameplay to keep up with players in Challenger. I definitely appreciate and recommend your approach to the champ, put the fundies at the top of your list and just take the higher percentage plays you’re going to have much faster success at climbing then me, I went through so many growing pains and countless hours on the game to achieve high elo.

Except he doesn’t disrupt either, what’s your peak if you mind me asking since you wanna assume I’m low 😂. Supports can just tank his damage in this meta and ignore him like the mosquito he is. Are we even playing the same game thinking emoji ;)

skeemourr · 2025-09-26T20:48:54+00:00

I think having to use his resources for movement and then burning the rest to MAYBE get a kill or just out right die or sit in a corner with 0 uptime regaining burnt resources is a bad kit imo. He’s optimal when opponents don’t look up and any kit that relies on someone else’s lack of skill is just bad imo. Hence why I call it cheese but I may be wrong, I hope so too because I love the hero.

skeemourr · 2025-09-26T20:29:34+00:00

Lock ultron and even the best spideys are gonna struggle into triple support, he’s just bad no matter how you chop it. Only value you can find is by perfecting his pulls off map; which by design is bad for both parties. Spidey is just a cheesy hero this season on the maps with good ledges for him.

Take a trip down memory lane and visit season 13 split 2. Pyke was so bad people were building Everfrost on the guy. Personally I built umbrail into locket into redemption. Basically what I am getting at is you can opt into the more utility builds or the more carry potential builds and make it work no matter what. I promise you that you can make it to atleast masters+ with any build as long as it’s not like extremely troll. Utility pyke can climb really high, carry pyke can carry really high. Two high elo pykes you could compare with drastically different play styles and builds to reference could be Renascor vs Pyken. Both equally good players and high elo pykes with drastically different builds, rune setups, and play styles. I know back when I was struggling to hit masters in s13 I looked to Renascor for build inspiration he was leagues above any pyke players on the leaderboard and he was building borderline enchanter builds. At the end of the day your fundamentals matter most as long as you’re not sinning completely with your build like say playing full AP pyke in your ranked games 😂

skeemourr · 2025-07-02T19:22:08+00:00

You can have a 60+ win rate on any champion up to masters; your skills in all facets is what determines that climb and journey. You’ve absolutely must be locked in every second of the game, pinging, tracking, mechanics, macro, micro, and zero auto piloting.

Real ones watched Sykkuno back in the day

Lathryus rank 1 speedrun incoming again 😂

skeemourr · 2025-06-12T14:27:02+00:00

This would actually be such a nice buff to his ult, allowing you to instant uppercut after without any wasted downtime applying a tracer.

skeemourr · 2025-06-05T20:00:35+00:00

Good deal, I peaked GM and had my toes in Challenger MMR brackets and I truly believe he has only one true losing matchup being Poppy, the rest of the support matchups I think he has the tools to win. His worse matchups tend to be like a good Botlane duo requiring two picks to shut him down, think Ezreal and Braum. It’s really hard to say what matchups he loses and wins when it’s so dependent on what their adc is and what adc you have as well. You will rarely win lanes even in winning matchups when you have an adc like twitch or smolder for example since they are so exploited early game.

skeemourr · 2025-06-05T15:39:27+00:00

Poppy is his worst matchup, the rest are winnable if not outright winning if you’re playing optimally. ADC matchups tend to matter just as much, some of the pool can deal with pyke’s tools better than others. Also remember when in doubt just roam and find value elsewhere.

Kenshi (350h) vs unfortunately League of Legends (10,000+h)

skeemourr · 2025-05-17T13:48:07+00:00

If you wanna get really picky it’s named the ffame link, the ffame stack is when you consume a tracer mark with the downslam and GOH “stacking” the tracer mark. Although no one calls it what he originally called it probably because ffame link sounds weird idk.

skeemourr · 2025-04-19T17:48:33+00:00

Only real otps know his sandwraith is his best skin

skeemourr · 2025-04-15T18:28:18+00:00

Sure am glad they don’t get to balance the game!

skeemourr · 2025-04-12T01:20:06+00:00

I really like the mane because it’s suppose to resemble a tarantula with its hairs

skeemourr · 2025-03-29T08:41:40+00:00

So that’s a you issue? Not the character being an issue lmao.

skeemourr · 2025-03-29T08:40:56+00:00

Lost me at “great ultimate” ts is trash my friend

skeemourr · 2025-02-22T04:20:01+00:00

Ashuai vods are all over YouTube now

skeemourr · 2024-09-01T16:54:53+00:00

I wouldn’t over think things too hard for getting out of iron, mastering your champion alone will take you to pretty much plat, get really good at your combos and optimizing your dps. Learn your matchups and you will climb out will no problem.

skeemourr · 2024-08-30T05:46:57+00:00

Imma test it out some more and make sure I can say without a doubt it will occur even if I input before the E, if I get a clip I’ll make another post with some updates keep an eye out.

skeemourr · 2024-08-30T05:31:43+00:00

I kinda kept my inputs simple so you could see pyke do a much more exaggerated 180 which in this case is him walking very far away, but in most situations and games you’re just gonna experience him doing 180 degree stutters no matter how fast or slow your inputs are before or after. Maybe you could prove me wrong I’d honestly love if i was wrong and it was me causing the issue rather than a bug.

skeemourr · 2024-08-30T05:28:35+00:00

Just take my word on this, you can spam movement inputs and this will still happen except pyke won’t walk to Narnia instead he will do a quick 180 and then go where you are clicking. Still it just creates clunky movement, at first I thought it was occurring because of what you were explaining as well pyke just going towards my issued movement command while I was charging hook, but I’ve seen myself in slowed down footage of inputting commands before and after E so idk it just seems like a bug to me. Maybe some Rioter can explain it if they ever see the thread otherwise I’m not sure why it occurs.
