I need Pyke puns to torment friends with
Hey, I am currently playing in bronze 2. I really love his kit and that he resembles Slark from Dota, who I played a lot back in the days. He seems to be a good mid laner, he has insane roam potential with his invis, hook, stun and especially ult. I know that his laning is pretty hard against most champs, but he is a good roamer, I think. Anyway, should I even try to play him mid or is he much better as a support or maybe there are champs that do his job much better? Let me know what you think!
I get a lot of jhins in my game but I don't know what to pick for him or how to support him
As you can tell from the title , im a league player and i recently gotten into dota , im a pyke main and im looking for a hero with a similar play style .
If you aren't a league player , you can read below ill explain his kit and play style briefly :
Passive : you cant build hp it turns into attack damage instead , also a percentage of damage you take turns into gray health , (will heal if enemy cant see you)
Q : a hook ability , you always pull enemy toward yourself a fixed distance , if they are to close you can even toss them behind you
W : camouflage and extra movement speed , similar to invisibility in dota but if you get to close to enemy they notice you
E : a dash , after 1 sec your after image follows you and stuns every target hit
R : its a ground targeted blink + execute , if you hit an enemy with it you will blink to them and kill them if they are under certain hp threshold , if they are not under the threshold it only deal 50% of the damage , after each time you kill someone with it you can recast it , also each time you kill someone with this you will give the full kill gold to ally who assisted in the kill
So basically you are a roaming support since you cant farm and you get fed by ksing and killing other support while making your team rich , if you get fed enough you can carry late game teamfights with good ulti since it scales with attack damage , long story short , you are a fast and mobile play making glass canon .
Is there any champion in dota similar to ma boi ?
Think about it. With the new Tahm Kench (re)release, his kit is just a fatter version of Pyke's.
Pyke: stab the enemy with a rusted barbed blade
Tahm: stab the enemy with a rusted barbed tongue
Pyke: lurk deep below the waves, gaining movement speed
Tahm: reverse cannon ball out of the water and knockup enemies
Pyke: stealth in shadows, restoring health
Tahm: just dont hurt yourself any more buddy you'll get better
Pyke: blinks to a location and executes targets
Tahm: eat
Pyke: lives in the ocean
Tahm: lives in the swamp (the fat man's ocean)
Pyke: bald
Tahm: bald but with facial hair and a silly hat
Thank you for listening.
When you have him as "death from below" in hand it's hard to know how much damage you are going to deal.
You need to have another lurk unit on the board or in hand to see how many times you activated lurk, then calculate it yourself, wich is not hard of course, but what if you have only spells and "death from below" in hand? I know this is a rare case but it could happen
Couldn't it be shown directly on the card somehow? Like "Summon Pyke striking an enemy. (damage)"

Most people did dislike how story was told in Ruination event, but I did not expect such a treatment to an exceptional writer at "Lead Narrative" position, especially when he had proven himself over and over again. To be clear, this was all done before Ruination event was even in client. He was not fired after the Ruination backlash. He was possibly fired alongside Odin 'WAAARGbobo' Austin, writer of Jhin, Tahm Kench, Illaoi, Kled, Aatrox rework... and Ariel 'Thermal Kitten' Lawrance who was the Head of Narrative, writer of Taliyah and Camille but most people should know her by her work for Star Guardians. They all left Riot in the same day.
The champions which were written by Matt Dunn are beloved by many and pointed as among the most unique of League's cast. The fact they were let go in such a fashion is disheartening to say the least. It is horrifying how Riot was willing to let go of such a beloved person in their arsenal in their time of need. From his wording I get the sense the writers were asking for more care on lore part of the ip but were instead let go. Such treatment shouldn't be taken so lightly when Matt Dunn's work still continues to inspire and draw players.

Passive - Gift of the Drowned Ones
When hidden from enemies, Pyke regenerates damage that he has recently taken from champions. Instead of extra Max Health, he gains Bonus AD.
Q - Bone Skewer
Pyke either stabs an enemy in front of him or pulls them towards him.
W - Ghostwater Dive
Pyke enters Camouflage and gains significant movement speed that decays over time.
E - Phantom Undertow
Pyke dashes and leaves behind a phantom that will return to him, stunning enemy champions along its path.
R - Death from Below
Pyke blinks to and executes low health enemies, allowing him to cast this spell again and granting additional gold to an ally who assists.

Pyke isn’t normally played but a few hours ago I had a Pyke Lucian combo and I am not sure what support to pick.
The problem isn’t really Pyke. What matters is the adc he had. If the enemy adc is something like Ez or Vayne that don’t deal much dmg early on I just hard engage on him the moment he uses his Q and kill him if my adc follows.
But against a Pyke with an bully adc such as Lucian, I am not sure how to respond. Hail of blades is scary when you play enchanters as he can burst you down from 100 to 0 and I can’t find a good tank supp that stops Pyke from bursting my adc in seconds.
So, any thoughts?

Considering myself a Pyke main, it is a bit embarassing asking these questions, but I really feel that I can do a lot more with Pyke. How can I master his skillshots?: I miss a lot of hooks and a lot of Rs (or Xs) and yes enemy can dodge, but I know in my heart that lots of times it is me lacking skill!
How do you manage his squishiness, especially mid to late game, there is nothing I can do but wait and R, i E in i die, i hook mostly tanks block.. and I ward abd control vision which is why in rush glaves to be sure im useful for something late game.
Any advice, suggestion, ciritism is mlre than welcome.
I have no idea why but I have better win rates on pyke mid than support?
