Same. They've got me curious with their teasers. They've talked about wanting to introduce new gameplay and how he's a playmaker. Feel there's gonna be some weird mechanic with deaths or kills.

ADC Thresh is gross in ARAM. Just got an S+ with him. Thought we were doomed because they had 3 ADCs, but those squishies fell apart under my wrath.

Yoooo Pyke looks awesome, I'm really liking his kit. Though his passive being Tahm's E is rather funny.
What's the range on his w though? Can he do, E, W to set it up?

He looks crazy strong, and fun - to play AS.

Maybe not so fun to play AGAINST.

Gap closer, hook, gap closer ult, speed & invisibility, slow...

Can he use his stundash through walls, I wonder? If so, he can slow with q, run away fast and invisible, and then jump over a wall. Even if he can't jump over a wall, he'll be quite the escape artist as a solo laner.

Foxdrop did a video on his jingling potential, and yeah - invisibly come in, hook, stun, and share the kill.

So is he intended to be built tank? Do his abilities scale off AD or AP?

They mention somewhere in his abilities page that he's fairly squishy.

"His high mobility is also offset by low survivability: Pyke is easily punished if he dives deep for a kill he can't quite finish. "

Seems more like a mobile assassin (with a good amount of cc) type.

Edit: and I don't think we have any numbers on anything yet, as far as scaling or mana or cool downs etc.

I'm diggin' his kit.

Would imagine his Q has high cooldown or low damage making him nonviable in a solo lane since he can't clear/trade. Would also imagine he's squishy as hell too so no way you can just engage if the team is protecting there carries.

So is he actually supposed to be a support? With a kit like that I feel like he wasn't designed with botlane as main focus (though it should work fine there too).

Maybe his E is good for waveclear, but then you can't use it as an escape, like Fizz's E.

Of course, you could w and run away, or slow and run away...

Yes it's a support. Considering other hooks and dashes, his cooldowns are likely gonna be pretty high so I don't see him working on other roles.

I must be crazy, but I've jumped back into this game and I'm playing a match or two most nights. I can't believe how badly my skills eroded away, but I'm seeing moments where the mechanics are coming back (like winning a 1v1 against Jax as Nami under my turret). It's just really hard to re-integrate with the changes, and I can't believe how bad I am at positioning in fights and in hectic moments during laning right now.

For once I was platinum, now I am bronze. For real. I expect to re-adapt and climb quickly, however.

So where's everyone been playing the new champ? I saw a top that didn't go well.
I saw him in a few of my ARAM matches.
I'll say this: Either there is a bug or when he does his W where he turns invisble, he remains invisible until he attacks cuz he'd suddenly pop up at one of my team mates in one game I played O_o
Still what's his suggested build? Straight AD Pen assassination?

pyke sucks balls lol

terrible base stats means everyone bullies him and hooking someone is actually bad because they turn and blow you up.

The Rito gods did not believe in the you that believed in them.
Clearly didn't believe hard enough. :(

On the other hand, 70% off the Order of the Lotus Karma skin in My Shop. Didn't have any skins for her yet, so that's nice and only 292 RP I guess. Got a skin for most of my supports, only missing a Nami skin atm.

I'm pretty happy with my shop... Definitely getting the Orianna. I might pick up Vel'koz's and Singed's skins too.
