How Davemon Makes Mid Pyke Viable in Challenger

[@LoLDobby]

He is Rank 1 pyke now www.deeplol.gg/summoner/KR/%EB%82%B4%EC%B1%84%ED%8C%85%EC%9A%A9 www.youtube.com/@Davemon

[@AlifKamali]

Bro what ots only been an hour since u posted the video 😂

[@aakashiyengar8316]

i love the spear shot feature at 6:04 :D. love your videos thanks so much for your effort!

[@iGoValkyrie]

well deserved, davemon is such a treat to watch on pyke

[@Amehame...]

davemon: this ult is versatile and you can use it in so many different ways me who only click ult when i see a big red glow and dont use it for any other reasons: yes

[@cipski_0075]

yes :)

[@gnaix9623]

his damage calculation(both on him and enemy) and ult angles(esp ones over walls) are craaaaazy

[@SpookSkellington]

Basically Pyke's mechanics and interactions taken to the absolute endpoint

[@quieness]

This guy makes anything he plays look insane

[@chingelingeldinger]

davemon has the most goated mustache in the league community

[@bezly8867]

he could cosplay as braum

[@danielney6]

@@bezly8867 yeah, if he gains 50kgs

[@Duran762]

@@danielney6He looks like Anonymous without a mask

[@bulutreisbaydar1681]

One very important thing he does is keeping flash timers on everyone. He mentions that a lot.

[@EpicBunty]

as long as he can ensure no flash and no zhonyas on enemy he knows he is good. helps with viego also (although im too noob to keep track)

[@tomatocookie2]

Of course, that's actually pyke's biggest counter

[@Duran762]

@@tomatocookie2And also heal timers.

[@milzhere]

Super important: D shield + second wind in every matchup, and holding gray health as long as possible (until dshield/2nd wind healing is done), as well as holding pot as long as possible (saving for engaging or when youre killable), allows you to stay in lane as long as possible and win trades you shouldnt.

[@j.r.p1305]

That strat is if you go ignite. Now, with TP, you can go aggressive by starting off with longsword pot, and look for a min 5 tp, making it as good of a sustain as D-shield, while having a build advantage.

[@milzhere]

@j.r.p1305 No it's for tp as well. Major disagree, dshield is the best in 99.99% of cases for it allowing you to sustain and cs in lane for as long as possible (early gold and xp is pivotal), and not waste tp due to low health. Longsword is tough to justify after the Doran item buffs, but even before that, Dshield + 2nd wind + passive was far too beneficial in early lane, you rarely even need to use your pot pre-6. Pyke needs to extend/survive trades more than he needs immediate damage that early. Also I think TP is a fixed summoner for pyke mid at this point, ignite doesn't have anywhere close to the same value.

[@MukyD]

why holding grey health ?

[@milzhere]

@MukyD because the way doran's shield/2nd wind work, the lower your health is the more healing they provide after taking champ damage. So holding the grey health for longer means they'll heal for more, and you'll have more overall health when you do heal the grey.

[@doomeaglescout5726]

@@j.r.p1305 no its with tp as well dave explicitly plays like this only

[@scaevola_n]

His prediction skills and calculations are also insane, saw so many times him predicting enemy's flash/blink and using Q/placing R accordingly, covering those.

[@spoiledsardine]

yeah watching Davemon in korea for the past month definitely helped me improve in the midlane and got me out of gold into plat. i knew this Dobby video was coming great job on the vid and congrats Dave for hitting Chal. GLHF summoners

[@kazraven9086]

Do you play pyke mid as well?

[@dABiGfATLol]

his double r is so cool tbh

[@zedre7633]

Getting a Dobby video on you is worth more than rank 1 on any server.

[@Friezje]

One important thing you missed is that Dave angles most of his ults to hit on the edge of the x, so you cover the flash back, X range is same range as flash. One very important thing to do in higher elo

[@MisTaxB]

I was on the same flight as davemon to korea from sea tac! i hope he wins everything

[@Kuznetovzx]

06:10 fun fact, you can qf there, because even if the Q animation is showing forward, he will still Q the enemy

[@JustAViewer44]

Ever since he said he was going to Korea to be N°1 Pyke in the world I was thinking about the moment he achivied it and then you made a video about his success. As someone who absolutely loves Pyke, I'm very proud. Pd: Thanks for the video, is way more clear now how he uses his combos. Imma practice right now!

[@LonelyAli]

Such a good video holy i almost never find useful league videos anymore good job amazing work

[@weefman1176]

Man thx this means alot to me Dave is my fav midlaner and pyke is my first main when i started in s9 I used to play him and have fun but then he git nerfs and his ult didn't give 600 gold and I never played him since I felt he is weak in support And only found succes with him in mid but never made it out of diamond bcs he is really hard to master and I wasn't as good as dave so I swiched to top instead of mid and now I'm master I'll give pyke mid a chance now and try to master him Truly thank you

[@LoLDobby]

Great !!

[@JustAViewer44]

Do it man, no matter how weak you feel he is. It's still possible. Go for it King!!!

[@madobricktw6969]

Dave makes pyke look like he has hair!

[@Katakuri213]

My boy Dave finally gets his respect

[@keggo2068]

I was waiting for this one :) thanks loldobby

[@kyuzzor3854]

up to diamond i encountered zero Pykes who possibly be a threat in a game with a decent performing tank. They usually drop like off a cliff on midgame when they dont have the chance to snowball, no matter which role they play. But props to the gameplay scenes, this dude has mastered pyke and has a few tricks up his sleeve i didnt know about.

[@goshkobg1241]

thank you for making the video about dave dobby its insane

[@awatin1888]

been waiting for this

[@picklejuice3508]

There’s no secret to how he makes pyke work .. he’s actually so good at pyke mechanically it’s similar to asking how is irelking pzzang so good at their their mains

[@Ollowayn]

Wow these mechanics and combos are INSANE

[@重荷-l7z]

It's actually impressive to make him work. I've never seen in my server play pyke in solo lanes after his E got changed.

[@1SSJA]

it's post nerf waveclear pyke mid too... the goat pyke

[@merdricon]

I would love to see a Swain video

[@LoLDobby]

I've checked it

[@davidpope8927]

That last play penta tho….

[@kuzeymr6921]

Hey just asking if you could use calmer background music for your videos, keep up the great work man.

[@LoLDobby]

Thank you, I'll try to do that In fact, as a Korean, it's hard for me to choose a song because they all sound good to me :)

[@zzzide]

That last Penta was epic.

[@johannabonana5306]

Davemon has been number 1 pyke in the world for years. He does things on pyke that you wouldn't dream of. He is unbelievable. Riot did not nerf mid pyke to the ground, they nerfed davemon.

[@GARCIAOFFICAL]

Sick videos

[@tzabadguy]

5:58 OMG SPEARSHOT CAMEO

[@de_brn208]

0:14 he used (r) to teleport and stun tris then he hooked him and used (r) again?

[@saschas2222]

yea he had a leftover R up from execute one other, then roamed mid (probably have axom already) and got the ult cd reset, so he can ult instantly again

[@FireSonic102]

What good inspiration

[@KrazyCouch2]

Holy moly that was naasty!

[@geodashbusboy]

Another note from an experienced pyke: if you ever wanna run away from someone right on ur tail, go to a bush, and when they run through to catch u, hook them back over u, and e and w in the opposite direction. If they try to follow, they will be stunned. And ur out of there.

[@verbo240]

Another note from an experienced pyke: if you ever wanna run away from someone right on ur tail, use your E to run away, and press flash if u need. And ur out of there. (Im silver 3)

[@thegabriel638]

another one, differently from other champions your hook always pulls a fixed distance, if you're being chased by a melee auto attacker you can corner yourself in a short wall, when the persuer gets in melee range you can hook him over the wall and simply go away or E away from the wall after he's at the other side

[@VietNguyen-fb2ci]

It is more terrifying playing against him rather seeing on the clip. Dude is like Houdini 😅

[@marioernestomadridcruz5745]

Bro the clip with the trist, how did he hit ult twice

[@menchoxe5544]

SOODANGKIM is also an absolute psychopath, laning fase seems to have a very similar style. How about the build? Is frozen heart built second? Or just full lethality?

[@thegabriel638]

dave goes full lethality, he never liked tank pyke{ usually the build goes ghostblade > axiom > GA(if he has a big bounty)/prowlers/edge

[@menchoxe5544]

@@thegabriel638 thnx for the reply :) I guess it is 2 different playstyles for late game and TF. I tried the more tanky build, u are not that squishy but u rely more on ur team.

[@Deaduser1122]

Hello dobby with the way draft is now more important maybe you can discuss if the champ can be blind picked or what

[@weefman1176]

Dave blinds him and he bans neeko He say that he dont pick him if he sees akali mid cuz she hard counters him And there is alot of hard mtachups like fizz, leblanc, syals and many more But dave is just used to them he is a one trick So if you want to one trick spam him mid and learn from your fails and matbe oneday you will be able to have a good winrate with him
