I'm a 1-mil mastery plat Pyke player, and I prefer a bruiser/battledancer version of tank Pyke that I'd love for you to try. I go Edge of Night, Death's Dance, Spirit Visage, and Guardian Angel. It's maybe only about 80% as effective at not dying on an engage as full tank, but you still get to deal a bit of damage, and you heal back to full once you disengage, so you can go back in a second or third time in a fight. Runes: Aftershock - Fairly self-explanatory, we're trying to live forever. Font of Life - All the options in this slot are kinda bad. This one sometimes keeps idiot ADCs alive a little longer. Conditioning - You could go any of these. I go for conditioning because we're building resists and don't want to fall off lategame. Revitalize - We don't have any shields, but this makes our grey health more effective. Sudden Impact - This build doesn't build a ton of lethality, but it's still a great stat. Ultimate Hunter - More ults is more gooder. AD/AD/Tenacity - We're not trying to avoid getting hit as much as shrugging it off when we do, so tenacity is good. Items: Celestial Opposition - It's the tank option, we want to survive engaging on the entire enemy team. Mercury's Treads - This helps us get out when we go in. Can be swapped for armor boots into ad-heavy or cc-light. Edge of Night - Spell shield lets us body-block for our carries, and makes it hard for the enemy to lock us down. Death's Dance - Our grey health healing often can match DD's burn, so this basically just increases our max health by 30%. Spirit Visage - Heal power is super strong on Pyke since we heal so much with our grey health. Guardian Angel - Living to fight another day is the point of the build, and Pyke is better than most at skating out of danger after reviving.

My recommendation for this might be to just build celestrial opposition for tank, and go damage the rest of the way. Would still do massive damage, but be way more forgiving.

Your Pyke is always a blast to watch! I'm liking the vid just hoping for that Pyke dream where he kisses me on the cheek.

Love your Pyke videos! Top of my list

15:45 can we take a second to appreciate that J4's EQ timing vs the Ramus Q? Damn...

I just couldn’t stop looking at the glowing mote for the last 10 min of game. And ioki you get the like before I get the enjoyment of the video

I love how after a point the enemies realize you are basically impossible to kill and just stop trying

definitely a fun game to watch, partially because of how many more play options and narrow escapes are possible with the build

YESSS PYKE

I just realized pyke has shark jaws for pauldrons

great tank pyke video, also a great video for why twitch is a BS champ

Not related to this gameplay - Have you tried building Amp Tome or Long Sword on a support whose first items build off of it as a replacement to Dorans start? (ex would be zyra usually rushes rylais or liandrys) So like buy the tome level one, fight then go back and get atlas first back then the sword/tome will build into what you want anyways. Also with the changes on atlas and champions to where it's more favoring typical enchanters/healers and less engage how would you think an off meta champ like Elise who hasn't been touched in a while would fare down there now given the resurgence of squishy targets bot?

Great game

I think it works better with glacial augment and add a hydra, you have enough DMG to actually kill, also you basically full heal in combo and this build allows more cc allowing more glacial augment procs.

Im researching a new jhin support build, I'm thinking we should dump into CDR runes, grab experimental hexplate, and get his ult to the lowest possible CDR

only way to gain HP is shields and heals so maybe locket, knights vow, maw?

I play tank Pyke on aram, it's so fun to NOT DIE to literally ANYTHING xD Btw, fimbulwinter works, it gives you a pretty handy shield once in a while, since Pyke can cc with 2 of his abilities

wheres our riven support video?! her bankai needs to be revealed

Tank Pyke because he can’t turn off Aftershock 😂

Tyke

I play Phase Rush mord top with over a 60% wr on him. Try Speedykaiser sup

1700 hp at 30 min This is not a tank build, its bruiser

it has not been 24H yet mate. It's says 15 hours on the video but I can't watch it. :(

Why did zyra come back???!

who said i like what im watching? most of the time i stare in disgust because i know i will have to try it and get flamed. :D

Me watching your Videos: awesome, I want to play support so bad. M playing Lol as a newbie: that was terrible, never playing again!

OK bro. My secret tech. Unsealed spellbook blitz. Start smite. Wait until buffs spawn, walk behind the wall by the camp, ward the bush so they don't see, hook their camp over the wall, and smite to steal. Go back to lane and pressure super hard with buff, level advantage, and revolving summs. Keep vision in enemy jg and go back to steal camps with hook smite whenever you can. Takes a little practice to get the timings but it's a super fun way to get your jg ahead and pressure the heck out of bot. I started playing this before unsealed and would just run smite all game. You get good at smiting minions for the sp item execute and hooking instantly when they think they are safe behind minions.

A lot of people view support as a sort of crutch for adc bur really they're meant to to boost the overall power of your whole team, not just babysit the adc
