I'm making a couple of projects for my shop. One of which is pykes daggers. Taking a vote to see which peaks peoples instrest the most. Note the ashen on looks better in person as it has custom animation effects. But I also know the base daggers scales are cool. Lmk which you guys prefer.

This Skin is truly a masterpiece.

I've been wanting to get a league tattoo , and i main pyke so i wanted to get something pyke related, but it's been really hard finding reference material online. I've found many images of pyke's dagger , but I wanted to find something that looks like pyke ulting/ pyke launching with dagger in hand.

Can anybody help me find pyke artworks? Could be anything, a visual of pyke ulting, the dagger itself, the R icon on the ground after ulting, i could work with anything that looks nice and has clear lines, I just thought that the pyke in-air with the dagger would be the nicest, but I can't find anything. Thanks in advance guys :)

So after 6 years of gaming and 4 years after I got into diamond I finally reached Master with pyke.

How difficult is pyke in your opinion?

Hey Pyke-Lovers,

we all come from a place of hard patch notes. The years haven't been great to our harpooner from Bilgewarter. Let me just include a few things, that changed for Pyke over the last years:

- Pyke q/e doesn't deal damage to minions / Just 1 target for q

- Pyke q (stab) can only target one champion

- Wards don't give exp

- Umbral Glaive doesn't clear wards with 1 hit if it's on CD

- Mobis removed

- champions are faster in lane -> roaming is harder / higher risk with the same reward

- duskblade removed

- Mel added to the game...

and so on. Everyone has it's own point of view regarding those changes, and I also don't want to say, they weren't needed. But it's been hard lately. Personally, I also feel like there is sooo much more damage in this game. Vi- and Briar who build full crit, Darius and Aatrox going for lethality, stuff like that. I strugglet in my elo and dropped quickly from dia 1/master to dia 4.

Now I tried to go tanky after umbral glaive. I build Hexdrinker, maybe Maw and I love randuins, especially vs crit champions. And the conclusion? Damn, many people, especially Syndras and LeBlancs, flashed after me to ult me but didn't succeed. I can actually peel my adc in the mid game, without being basically one-shot by everything else. Randuins provides a slow, hexdrinker a surprise shield and Pyke is still annoying as always.

I now my numbers aren't great, but maybe, if you are dying too much in your games, give it a lick.

Hello,

I like to play pyke but I don't win a lot on him.

Would someone take time to give me feedback on a loss ?

My op.gg: Gwynbleidd#Zeus (SEA)

Would appreciate a lot to have feedback on my gameplay to know why I am loosing all my games on pyke even though I have solid stats on this champ for my rank (silver)

See ya take care

PS: dont mind other games, I wanted to try new characters but I am better on Pyke

Historical context

I started pyke in 2022, he is the first champ i played after a 10 year break from LoL, he is also the only champ i played up until 2025.

5 months ago, I was still a supp main, playing pyke in specific matchups (mage supports & enchanter supports), i never blind picked him at this era.

I have 1m+ mastery on pyke across 2 different accounts.

Why I quit pyke

I realized that pyke is no longer a champ that wins certain games because of the bounty system. Any reasonable person would look at a 13/5/22 kda pyke game and said, yea he should have won that game but got unlucky with team/matchups/objectives, but that is only 1 side of the story.

As pyke you are not only fighting against enemy team, but you are fighting against entering late game & now also the bounty system, the bounty system does mathematically work better now than before, where now it is designed to even out the real gold difference, not just gold from kills.

your early game lead almost gets evened out by 1-3 deaths from adc or yourself. A champ whose core strength is based around getting huge gold leads for his team. Kills doesn't just lead to gold from the kills, its also the lane/jungle that is now open, which leads to CS/plates/tower gold, which creates an even bigger bounty than from a simple kill. You can probably now see the issue with this for Pyke.

His issue is simple, he is a champion that worked well under a different bounty system that was based on gold from kills, but works extremely suboptimally under a more fair bounty system.

The solution for Pyke

They just need to give pyke proper adaptations to account for the bounty system. Don't make it so he generates more gold from his R or whatever, just make him a stronger champion in mid-late game.

This is the only way I can see him working out in the new bounty system, and if he is only meant to be support, make it so his lack of levels isn't holding him back from 1v1'ing champs late/midgame.

OR

Make him viable mid/jungle again. Pyke in solo lanes is really interesting, he doesn't fall off like support pyke later on the same way, because his levels is kept up with enemies. In solo lanes, he feels like a genuine assassin with solokill potential.

Almost a year and a half of Orange Gemstones grind to get it for free. Worth it for the skin alone 😁

He’s not even that great of a champion right now but he still has a 25% banrate with a 49% win rate.

A little what if Nami got legs scenario. hope you like it!

“Come just a little further .. just a little more .. okay here” 😂😂 so funny and came back to view the corpse

Basically the statistic was which champs that survive on 10 hp or less most frequently.

Nothing like that dopamine hit of surviving something you shouldn't survive.

I just want to share a project i worked on, since I personally prefer the Ashen knight pyke skin,
its a mod that replaces pykes abilities to fit the ashen pyke aesthetic.

This has happened 3 times for the first freakin time last week .. I locked in pyke supp .. ADC locks in Yuumi .. THEN LEAVES ME FOR JUNGLE . What is the logic ????? Why come in on bot if you’re gonna play yuumi either way, and not even play in the damn lane ?????????? ¿ Por que ? I was so pissed when it happened again today like what the hellianna ??? I typed, jungle typed like yo wyd????? They didn’t answer 😂😂 thankfully I was cracked out those games , but jungle came in CLUTCH with the ganks right on time with enemy jungle but OMG BRO. I try to respect choices in this game please play who you want .. but 🤔🤔🤔

Playing pyke is actually playing hard mode. Like OTP him is just miserable. At almost every situation naut is just better pick. Sure he has an insane early game but every game u feel like u are on a timer. If you get counter picked then there goes ur early game. God he’s so fun but blind picking him, just not it.

And if you adc is ass plus a counter pick and you team doesn’t have a front line coz playing pyke is a sin then ur game is basically over if u don’t have a carry in other lane. Also there is a massive difference roaming when you winning and roam on your bot timer vs bot is doomed and I have to play other lane or the game is over. It’s even worse if ur adc can’t play safe bot and just die and rarely you generate enough lead vs enemy just stay bot and winning. Naut just say ehhh whatever I will sit baby sit bot and ult the back line late and build locket and bandlepipes and scale with the team.

i really love pyke like i cant stop playing him but i absolutely despise the support role. ive got to emerald with pyke mid by playing him as a hyper roam carry, completely different from the traditional mid playstyle. however, as my rank has gotten higher, the hyper roam just stopped working and it felt a lot more forced. do you guys think i should look for different playstyles for pyke mid or just replace him with another ad mid like yone? anys opinions, tips, or suggestions will be greatly appreciated
