Pyke mid is 100% unfair to play against and I show you why... (NO COUNTER PLAY)

[@josephdavis8684]

Zwag video title: “NO COUNTER PLAY” Zwag 30 seconds into the video: “I’ve been counter picked”

[@jackedyourpizza9462]

Titles etc are from his editor, no?

[@CrazyLou64]

I know there's a clickbait metagame, and literally every title from every creator is like this, but this seems like it would have been a good example of leaning into the whole "Yeah, I was counterpicked and dominated anyway, watch how" idea.

[@justsomeguy471]

thats clickbait for you

[@videoedits3584]

@@justsomeguy471 a way to combat clickbait is to just be transparent and say you don't like it. hopefully it gets to the creators.

[@pyroweasel90]

Let’s be honest. Everything that happens when Zwag plays is an enigma. He gets handed kills in most games lmao

[@ModaHakim]

I can relate 💀

[@victoriapschen]

@@pyroweasel90 I mean, that happens most games if you play patiently and smart instead of trying to force stuff to happen.

[@FrankenOO]

Play it twenty times, it'll work in one of them. If you think these videos are made in one try, think again. They could be playing the same build for hours on end trying to get a good game. They're not meant to be an OP broken build you can abuse for free LP.

[@op-andy498]

23:40 For anyone wondering what happened: K'Sante ulted Sivir's spell shield and went through the wall alone 🤣

Great spot, i was wondering where he went after the tp

Thanks for the great content Zwagger, you make some amazing videos, and while I'm not the best player, my skills have certainly improved thanks to you. Just wanna show some appreciation for that and to wish you the best on the vacation. You've earned it. Thanks a lot man.

[@icountsixrats3753]

I was inspired by Zwag’s content to try LoL for the first time today and I have to say I’ve never been beaten and insulted so much in my life :( I feel very sad.

[@kieker9428]

Okay, but what did the people in-game say? JK xD League can be so toxic

[@kelz_2247]

That sadness will manifest into anger later on, happens to the best of us.

[@danielmantell3084]

The good thing about League, is there is always someone worse than you. Once you land your first triple kill you'll get hooked.

[@MoochieMary]

It is a very hard game!! Alot of youtuber like zwag gave been playing for 5 even 10 years! People can be very mean, I find the best thing to do is mute!! Chat and pings!

[@GreyPunkWolf]

Aww. There's a feature in the settings that allows you to hide in game chat if you want. For your first year of playing or so, don't bother reading messages. You'll be playing Arams and low level normal games so that means playing with 10% new players like you and 90% smurfs farming levels on their new accounts. That means chat is either bad info or insults/rage from people who have years of experience on you and expect you to play at their level. So don't bother. The game is hard enough already. Also don't be afraid to ask friends with experience in the game to coach you as often as possible. Either you train 1v1 in customs or they create new accounts and play games with you. Also lastly if you watch a lot of lol videos from people like zwag that means you will understand combos and mechanics faster than normal but don't focus too hard on those at first. What really matters is learning to last hit and wave management. Once you got that covered, move onto learning other things.

[@wolfguy2005]

Day 27 of asking for ornn with Jak’sho (new name for Icathia’s). Since his passive increases armor, mr and health by 10-30% (based on how many items you upgraded) and the Jak’sho upgrades at level 13, you get super tanky and since most of ornns damage (w, brittle and ult) is max health damage and his e scales with resistances you will still do a lot of damage

[@st1lysh35]

I'm hoping they change that name again... it's not a good name for an item

[@worldlinezero4783]

@@st1lysh35 I like it personally. It's unique and interesting

[@johanpiednoel7537]

3:50 that's exactly why I love zwag so much, this man is way too good

[@henry3457]

Here's wishing Zwag a relaxing vacation. He's helped us relax so many times, he deserves it.

[@TheCosmicAstro-]

Pyke is a character that relies on being ahead to be properly useful(not just an annoyance), Due to his scaling being very very very poor compared to pretty much every single other assassin so he needs the levels and gold to do enough damage. Pyke was nerfed not that long ago specifically to get rid of him mid, which they got rid of his solo gold generation from his ult which would give you a "your cut" as to not waste the gold from the ult. Now that gold disappears into oblivion. Alongside his waveclear is very very bad, pretty much non-existent so can be perma-shoved and he cant do anything about it. This is why Pyke is unfortunately stuck in support as he does not have the necessary tools to be an effective midlaner coupled with loss of gold efficiency and will inately scale much much less than any other midlaner. even with only 1 or 2 items. And he cannot rely on push/roam due to every midlaner having multiple times his wave clear strength. Oh do i wish for the day that Pyke is relieved from being forced into the support role and he can properly take up being a midlaner or jungler...

[@Winddancer1991]

It would be sick to see him jungler, he has a really dope kit for it, but unfortunately like you said his farming is non existing. They should buff him towards a item like hydra that has aoe and helps with his clears or something.

[@Equitine]

10:06 shaco learned the full weight of 600 years of game development.

[@jadenbates2798]

Lowkey wanna see Zwag do a game taking towers and just farming, getting the highest farm he can in a game

[@crabramen]

With a Ryze mid, taking wolves and chickens when available...

[@s.h-d6074]

Really nice! I whish I could make my Pyke work that way. Always too impatient and my Ult seems to "miss" by a hairs breadth...yours was a little off some times...hit regardless. I am amazed 😄 Really enjoy your videos, cool that you literally play every champ in every position well.

[@adcyuumi]

Gotta love Pyke - an assassin with lots of cc; almost the only one in the game. Zwag. If you've never tried AD Aurelion Sol, time is running out. Q-max. The core items are Ravenous Hydra (which procs off of each star hit), Navori Quickblades (which massively lowers his Comet of Legend timer), and then Runaan's Hurricane as third item to ramp both of the early items. You get your mythic item fourth - personally I like something tanky to go with ASol's natually high health, such as Evenshroud or Frostfire Gauntlet. You will usually want to grab either Serylda's Grudge or Lord Dominik's Regards, to push through the Ravenous Hydra splash damage. For last item I almost always grab Gargoyle Stoneplate to tank up even further, since ASol's "thing" is diving straight into the enemy team with a giant storm.

[@doctordeladarius]

The ult looks so cool on this Pyke skin

[@Jhin809]

[@juliogomez2534]

Zwag: "I just not need to ult the shaco" Proceeds to ult the shaco until he no longer gives gold.

As a Jayce and pyke player, Jayce would stomp u mid if he's good. Hella AOE, engage, and extremely long range plus knockback. Tanky enough to sustain and regens mana. Only time pyke would do better in in a teanfight where your team is putting out hella dmg.
