Pyke’s new passive from LoL has appeared on PBE. Players: “Every support should have it”
Riot Games has unexpectedly added a new Pyke’s passive. Players say that all supports should receive it.
Yesterday, one of the Riot employees announced a Pyke execution change that was supposed to appear on PBE today. The minimum HP bar needed to finish the opponent is to scale with executions. Interestingly, it applies not only to players but also to minions and super minions.
In fact, it did, and this change has already appeared on the test server. In addition to it, however, a new and unannounced passive was also added. Players say it would be useful for other support heroes.
New Pyke’s passive
League of Legends developers are working hard to get the Bloodharbor Ripper out of mid lane. This fact does not surprise anyone anymore. Now, in returning to the original alley, a new pass, called the Gift of the Drowned Ones, is to help him.
It works in an interesting way and resembles the item supporting the Relic Shield. Namely, it awards gold to the closest ally for eliminating a minion or even a ward. With the distinct difference that the currency bypasses Pyke and he only gets EXP.
The hero can use this chance only once every 50 seconds, and destroying one Vision Ward will be much faster, thanks to the mechanics of their execution, which is now available only with the Umbral Glaive item, and this attracted the attention of the community. Many players commenting on the change admitted that this opportunity would be useful for other heroes. For example, Rell with her low attack speed.
There were also voices from people who thought it was not a good idea. This mainly applies to the early game, where it is not possible to destroy a Totem without resetting the attack due to its short decay time and low attack speed. Now, by placing it next to Pyke, the enemy will deprive him of his vision for a long time. At the moment, however, it is not known whether the players’ fears are fundamental. The passive only appeared on the test server, which means that it can still be withdrawn. Especially since no one announced it.
