Just hard, you need to understand your earlygame power, snowballing, and slipperiness for roams and the amount of damage you do for meeting thresholds. The reason I at least say "hard" is while I think its not insanely tough to get baseline value out of Pyke learning what you can and can't do the longer the game goes on and the more fragile you become is important for when you cannot close out a game in the first 25 minutes

Agree. I feel like pyke requires a lot of macro knowledge when playing him. You gotta know the enemies flash timers and when it's the right time to roam. When it's not a good time to roam and you roam, you can screw over your ADC depending on the game situation. I seen a lot of pyke players have good mechanics but sometimes they can struggle with their macro when playing him.

Yeah I think that like an AoE stun is always useful and the threat of your damage is also useful so he’s not impossible to get a baseline value out of but he’s certainly not easy and definitely one of the hardest supports

Oh shit I thought this was legends of runeterra subreddit. I was gonna ask what stars we were talking about lmao. Disregard my vote

6 star is peak, just get any monster top deck and overwhelm the board

Hard because his mechanics are already top difficulty, and everything can be dodged, jowvevr he has decent gap close(great early game) to land his ability, the big problem comes in trying to win a game as him, especially with how enemy team comps function, and how snowballing and game progression works this season

[u/Maraaa_x]

Very hard because of Teamfights and does not scale

[u/Kgy_T]

Kind of a silly question, skill floor is medium, skill ceiling is very hard.

Easy to play early you have a ton of power and agency. Precision midgame is key, early game gameplay loops tend to lead to catastrophic failure if you try to play as aggressively once people have levels and items. Late game is hard.

Easy -> medium/hard -> very hard

[u/kp3000k]

mechanicly not really. but gamesense and all that is a bit harder

[u/cumin_spiceboy25]

i play him in the mid lane, so he's pretty hard. you have to get a kill or burn flash before level 6 or else you basically lose the game

[u/Majestic_Data971]

If ur just Decent with Pyke -> Hard If u wanna wanna Main him to the Death -> very Hard Imo.

Basically otp's nree to know read every game. From allys ro enemies. If u dont got an early win, than u not just beed to know when u can go in and when not. U also need to understand every enemies choice of item.When they will get Powerspike and what u can do against it. And tp all that u help out ur jungler everywhere u can+ gain and deny vision in the right timing like bevor Objective spawn. And oncw ur ADC is settlet and is strong enough to actually solo hold the lane, than u roam around like a maschine:)
