Oh, a comment. What a wonderful timming to get a comment right on my birthday. I wonder who- oh... oh no. Where's PsiGuard, what did you do to him? You hypnotized him so you can comment me, is it? You just can't get more satisfied with this war as I see. Then bring it!


Cheat Sheet & Build chapter:
  • So, the "safe rune is more based defensive, so to speak. As an example, you get a counter on the lane likeeeeee.... Morgana! Obviously we know her that counters most of the hooking Supports. She's annoying most of the time, pokes you or the ADC. The rune is meant to be a bad synergy rune. Like, Pyke got Lucian as his ADC. They are a bad combo.
  • Yeah, you are right here. Not sure why I didn't do that. I tought I did...? Have to be more careful. I will add notes on everything that needs to has a note.
  • I didn't even notice that the standard build is with the building items. It will be moved to "Full Builds". Thanks for being an "eye-catcher" for me. xD
  • On the Mid Lane. Yeah, I know it has nothing about Legend: Tenacity. Unflinching is enough on him as the first rune. Though considering. I have to check the runes again and modify some of them. Not sure why I put Legend: Alacrity on Mid, maybe I was in a hurry?
  • On Bot Lane: I have no idea how I managed to put Fleet Footwork as DMG. I think before it was Dark Harvest rune and I forgot to change the title. But pretty sure the rune will be removed from the guide next patch. Yeah, Electrocute is not a viable rune on Pyke anymore and believe me, Electrocute is sooooo bad on Pyke now.
  • On Support: Should've explained that. The reason why the bonus stats are those ones you mentioned is because - Pyke has low CDR, and he's very squishy. But, I haven't played 2x adaptive force on him as Support for like 1 year. I should start doing that again and see how it goes. Why am I saying that? Because in Late Game, Nami solo killed me. Both full HP, and I was ahead of her. I think that's why. xD
  • I forgot to put Silvermere Dawn on the Situational Items. My bad. xD
  • Yeah, you are right, I removed Syzygy and Sandshrike's Claw because I don't even use them.
  • Yeah, I saw that. I will work on the cores.


Introduction/About Pyke chapter:
  • Yeah, sounds good on combining them.
  • Yeah, I had that in mind to move it into the Introduction. But you really want me to move it, huh? Jealous? xD Jk, I will do that.


Skin Display:
  • I don't even know why I still kept that chapter. But you gave me a great idea about that.

Pros & Cons:
  • I should update that chapter. Haven't updated it in like a year. o.o


Runes:
  • Updated everything.

Abilities:
  • I had in mind adding combos. But it will be added in the future.
  • It says there damaging and stunning enemies. I will update that later tho.



Summoner Spells:
  • Yes, I know its not centered. All of you told me that since I made that chapter. I will change it in the future.
  • And Spells needs to be updated.
  • Oh, didn't knew that. My bad.


Items:
  • I added in "To do list" to update the Items chapter. Well, the whole chapter will be fully updated and I will add more Items. I will change the design on them too.


Gameplay:
  • It's in "To do list".


Patch Notes:
  • I'll see what I will do with this chapter. Just be patient.


Content in General:
  • Yeah... I understand, really a struggle. But I wanna do a major update this week or the next week.


    Presentation:
    • Yeah, I said this to myself that my guide does not fit with the theme in general. I still want to make it Bilgewater-ish theme.
    • Heh, you can say... I got a "humerus" guide. Dying inside. But yes, I will keep with the humor. ;)

    Conclusion:
    • Heh, I bet nobody can do a guide based on all roles like me. xD
      I will take care of the irrelevant content and will replace with things that are more important.
      Ah! My Versatility award! Hope you are not jealous. ;3
      I will never remove the humor from my guide. One day I was curious what humor I wrote in the guide and died inside by laughing. xD

      Yup! I even updated some of the things from the guide while holding your review. Check the Log list if you want to see.

      Well, you helped me a lot with updating most of the things from my guide. So what can I say? Thank you for being breath taking. xD

      You can answer back if you want.

      Kind regard from the "humerus" guy. xD
      Don't worry, I got a "skele-ton" of jokes.
      Walk carefully outside because of the snow, or else you'll "sl-ice" in half. ;)

Hey happy birthday mate! I'm happy you found my 'gift' to be helpful. :p
About PsiGuard, don't worry he's still alive. (I think?)
Also thanks for clarifying some of your choices.
Kind regards and have a nice day!

Hello @TheFwnK,

I also think that your guide is really helpful and very informative. You did an amazing work on it, the entire design for each section is matching Pyke's story very well (green color, the hook design to divide sections, Bilgewater picture).

The way you are expressing yourself is very friendly, direct, funny, honest and professional. It was really easy to understand every perspective you have tried to reflect! Your guide is very passionate, you've tried every single role and shared with us your experiences.

The entire masterpiece required (for sure) lots of patience, energy, concentration and love... But it definitely was worth it!

I love the way you do your stuff, please keep it going because no one is going to replace what you're doing on here. Good luck on every thing you're up to and never give up on the way to success!

P.S. I love the tiny dialogues between Pyke, Fizz and Yuumi! :D

TheFwnK (22) | January 3, 2021 6:24pm
Hello @Krypton15,

Glad you took your time to read my guide and comment too. Glad it was funny, but I'm not done yet with the jokes. :3
I'll have to add threat and synergies on every champ from the game, and boy, it's gonna be a lot of dialogue. ;)

Yup, that's true, a lot of patience, energy, concentration and love. Love my guide the most. Time for me is a bit, meeeeh... Since I have a job, I'll try my best to do my best. >:3
Masterpiece? Heh. (Blushing)

Glad you love it. And you bet I'll keep going. I will never give up, and thanks for the luck. ^.^

Glad you love those tiny dialogues, as said, there will be more. :D

I also have other guides too. But I don't really have time to update them, so it may take a while.
I also have a montage if you are interested. Just scroll at the beginning of the chapters.

If you wanna say something else, feel free to speak. No matter how long this comment section gets long. xD
To be honest, after reading your comment. It touched me on the heart. (つ✧ω✧)つ

Omg, @TheFwnk!

I’ve never expected any answer, that was such a big surprise for me!

Aww, I am so glad I could bring you a smile on your face! And honestly, when someone’s putting his/her heart into something, they deserve some attention, respect and a good feedback.

Of course I’ll read the other guides as well, you can bet! I am just new to Pyke yet and I am such a disaster at it, sadly xD

Having time isn’t always easy, we all know it, but your fans will wait for your updates. I am pretty sure about it!

Oh maaaan, this is gonna be a hard work testing all the champions... But I’ll be glad to hear more from you!

P.S. I am main Miss Fortune player ;D

This guide is great! I recently met this Pyke that went 0/5 in lane since our jungler was chilling bot side. He ganked us about 2 more times (none of us died in the process). At about 19 min, he executed my entire team and they won off of that. Is there any specific powerspike for this? I'm still so confused as to how he suddenly got so strong. The other lanes were all winning and everyone on my team was doing well.

TheFwnK (22) | November 30, 2020 12:04pm
Hi! Sorry for responding so late. >.<
A great question about you being a main Soraka. As I see, the enemy Pyke was on Support role. First I'll talk about him why he is stronger with the runes: Secondary rune depends on the match up.

Abilities that gives advantages:
  • Phantom Undertow - Interesting fact if some people didn't know about his stuns. If Pyke hits you with his stun, he will be dealing bonus damage on auto attacks and abilities. Pretty interesting, isn't it? ;]
  • Death from Below - Ignores shields. (Ex: Barrier)

Power Spike Items:
  • Duskblade of Draktharr - Only this item is his power spike. Burst damage, that's it. Not much saying about this item. But also, invisible passive on him is quite dangerous.

    That's it I think.
    If you want to comment again, or learn more about him, just reply. ^.^
    Thanks for saying that my guide is fantastic. Now I can feel special. (つ✧ω✧)つ

TheInkKingLoL (43) | November 24, 2020 5:45pm
So, just kind of thinking out loud here, for jungle Pyke for items your choices are between Prowler's Claw and Duskblade of Draktharr but I was wondering which is generally better? Also you still go Ravenous Hydra but when do you upgrade?
Just curious so I could maybe mess around a bit.
1
TheFwnK (22) | November 24, 2020 5:55pm
Hi! Thanks for commenting when I was updating the guide. Both items are good. Depends on what you want. Prowler's Claw is good for ganking. His mythic passive is 5 Lethality for each Legendary item. Duskblade of Draktharr is good too. The passive is great for slowing the enemy and you do a burst damage. I don't really like Prowler's Claw in general, but they both are equal. And for Jungle you still need Tiamat and to upgrade it. Ravenous Hydra ( Tiamat) is still good to take on solo lanes. It feels more powerful to me. Who knows. xD

The solo lanes will be updated soon. I'll need some time to take care of them.
Thanks for stopping by! If you have something else to say, feel free! ^.^

PrimeRex2250 | July 26, 2020 6:22am
Hey , really nice build. I love playing pyke whenever I get autofilled support because hes super powerful and fun at the same time. Your build tends to be my go to build as you have a build for every role along with alot of detail. Thanks alot for the build :D

redhaze_2010 | July 17, 2020 1:28pm
I like pyke but my Pantheon support is doing excellent right now , but my other main is Jungle any tips on how to take him into to jungle and what if you go more like shaco duskblade instead of jg item into ravenous or would you really need jg item to farm better
?
1
TheFwnK (22) | July 17, 2020 4:09pm
Pyke as Jungler is a different level for him. Is a bit harder, because his farming is quite annoying.
You are not forced to make Skirmisher's Sabre - Warrior as full item. I prefer to go only Skirmisher's Sabre. It's the same as Rengar when it comes with the Jungling item. Then, you'll be forced to go Tiamat to make the clearing a bit easier. And the rest of items, I go Duskblade of Draktharr, Youmuu's Ghostblade and Edge of Night. Sometimes I get Sanguine Blade as first item to make the jungling more easy. But it's always by buying it to solo the drakes. Without Sanguine Blade, you cannot solo the drakes. Pyke needs a lot of life steal in Jungle. Death's Dance is a choice too. If you have enough money, sell Skirmisher's Sabre and get the last item for him.

Umbral Glaive I... Tbh, I don't take this item on solo lane. I only take it when I play him as Support. Remember to upgrade Tiamat into Ravenous Hydra. I also have to update some of the builds, since I discovered some builds that are quite strong on Pyke, you can stay in touch.

And that's it I think.
Glad you stopped by. Love when people are interested in my guides. ^.^
If you have any opinion on something else. Feel free to comment!
Thanks for stopping by! :>

Dude Fortunate | July 12, 2020 10:54am
I love the guide and reading it everything is really solid and awesome but I have a question, wouldn't it be better if Tiamat was sold later on rather than upgrade it for a 5th lethality item or GA?
1
TheFwnK (22) | July 12, 2020 12:15pm
Depends on your choice. I always upgrade my Tiamat to Ravenous Hydra because sometimes it helps you on combos. Well... You take Hail of Blades, you are not forced to take Tiamat but 4 hits instead of 3? Great deal for me. Plus, Tiamat got buffed some patches ago. That we're my words on solo lane.

But on Support? I sell the Support Item to get Ravenous Hydra when I have a lot of gold. And for last, elixir. Elixir of Iron It's my favorite the most on Pyke. The tenacity is a must for him since you can get in trouble very easily. Elixir of Wrath when they don't have cc champs and you want to go for more life steal and damage. But here's the thing. The builds are not that great anymore on solo lane and I need to update it. I even need to add a new build into the Support class. I even need to update the Gameplay Chapter because its outdated.

Glad you love my guide! It means so much for me that really enjoys my guide. :D
Feel to put your opinion on the guide if you want something to be added!
I have other guides if you are interested in those too.
Thanks for stopping by! ^.^

why max e second over w
2
TheFwnK (22) | May 16, 2020 5:23pm
Hi!
Thanks for stopping by. E is the reason to max it second because Pyke can get into a lot of trouble when comes to an escaping or chasing. The CD needs to be on low CD for this. Plus, it does more dmg than Q on level when solo lane like MID. W feels the same for me when maxed or 1 point into it.

Wicked Cherry (162) | June 23, 2019 11:06am
Hey TheFwnK,
as promised I'll comment on your guide here as well although I already told you what caught my eye but okay. Get ready, I'm gonna be dead honest.

I think that the whole thing that you actually made a guide on Pyke about every possible role he could play might seem quite overwhelming at first. Because there are a lot of details and I would probably recommend to create a single chapter for every role instead of putting all roles into one chapter and the reader will have to scroll down aaaall the way to the bottom just because they're interested in the role you mentioned last.

I would also add some more details into your role chapters because there are certainly a lot of things to take care off which differ with every role. Like you wouldn't play Pyke the same way as support compared to the style you'd play him mid or jungle. (Just mere examples.) So what would you take care of? What changes? When to roam? etc.
I already told you, but I think if you don't want to put the different roles in separate chapters, then it would make sense to create a second table of contents just for these roles. But it's only a suggestion. If you'd go with the chapter idea then make sure to link every role in the TOC. It just makes it so much easier for the reader to get to the part they want to go to.
(Sidenote: These dividers are awesome you should use them more. ;))

Also, I saw that in the Spells chapter the whole section seems a bit moved to the left and then centered. Especially heading and the Back to Table of Contents graphic make it very obvious. I think you probably just started directly with the columns code and have the heading after the columns-code. I would advise putting the heading first, then the columns and then the text, close the code and then the graphic. It sounds pretty confusing but it's actually not much. I'll try to show you.
I'm Hiding something

Basically, I just wanted to show you the order of the Codes.

In your Items chapter, the headings seem simply too large for only 1 or 2 lines of description. I would probably recommand using a smaller heading and probably also color it in a color that fits the scheme - so most likely either the normal dark green or a custom green. I can help you with the color if you need it.

You might want to pick up a Combo chapter since I assume there would be different useful combos despite the most known one W>E>Q.

Oh and I suggest adding Threats and Synergies for the other roles that are not support because I imagine they can differ with different runes and roles. I know they take a lot of time but in the end they're always worth it. :)

So that's where my brainstorming got me...
Hope it's not too much. xd But you wanted some feedback.

Cheers, Wicked Cherry.

TheFwnK (22) | June 23, 2019 2:32pm
Hey Wicked Cherry,
glad you came here. I'm always ready. xD

This is a great idea, that is what I tought to make but I forgot to put in the "To Do List" chapter. :c

Didn't think of that of making a different play style for every role. I think I will do that soon.
Yeah, second table of contents is a great idea and I had that in my mind for quite a time.

Dividers? What dividers? Do you mean about the tables? Still don't know how you managed to take my tables. xD
Yes I should use them more.

About the Spells chapter I will fix it but was too lazy. First time didn't saw that it is more to the left, but then I realized and my brain explode. Why? Because if I don't something centered my brain blows and drove me insane. xD

About the code:

I never used heads and i'm still figuring out with what is it does.

Thanks for the code. Will be helpful for me! :>

Yeah, about Items. I have it in the "To Do List" chapter to change the look because is big and I don't really like it. Wanna make something that fits! Somehow it destroys the fanciness of the guide. xD

I had that in mind for doing a Combo chapter, but I need to ask you for making the banner. xD

Yes, I will add Threats and Synergies chapter but it will take a lot of time as you are saying in the comment and i'll agree that is worth it to create it. ;)

Impressed that you didn't asked about Pyke's nerfs. But as you don't really know about his nerfs in the comments and is a better idea to put it in the Patch Notes chapter.

Hope your brain is ok. xD

Not a problem if you made a discussion that big. The big comment means that the one who commented is interested in the guide, character, what he does or asking the creator of the guide with what is gonna do with the guide in the future.
Thanks for the feedback. :3


RIP Pyke. Getting a huge nerf wich affects him as Support too...


Pyke: You're not on my list yet Wicked Cherry. Keep it that way.

Fizz: Help! :(
Yuumi: Come here Fizz! Oh, hi Wicked Cherry! Do you have fish?

Cheers, TheFwnK. :3

Wicked Cherry (162) | June 26, 2019 6:08am
Dividers are for example the green harpoon thingies that you used in your comment as well. xD
Theeeeese. x]

Spells. You used headings. Like captions. Erm.. The larger kind of text. xD
Glad the code proves to be helpful tho. :)

Items. Okay I'll stay tuned for changes then. :)

Combo Chapter. Haha, yeah. That's not problem. I might take my time though. But I know you're cool with it. x] Appreciate your understanding.

Nerfs. We already talked about nerfs. And yes, I would put your comments in the Patch Notes chapter because that's where they fit in best. Since you would change little things according to buffs and nerfs anyway, it might be nice to emphasize on little things in the Patch Notes chapter.

Yup, I think it's fine. xD I'm feeding it enough water during the immense heat (I hope, lol, but it doesn't complain). x)

Nerfs usually affect just everything of the champion. But maybe there's a new kind of play style that come out from that and if the champion turns out to be "dead", Riot surely is working on fixing that again. I mean some time ago, they nerfed Lulu and Janna terribly and it was quite hard to actually carry a team to victory if at all. And now they buffed them both again. They didn't give them their old kind of stats back but they buffed their shields and such and they're quite great again. So maybe something like that might happen in the future. Or they just revoke it again. I think I saw sth in the Patch Notes of PBE. But I'm not too sure what they revoked.


Haha funny quotes. You should ask to pay Riot your for creating such. xD
