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.
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.
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.
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!
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.
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.
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
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...
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.
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.
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.
Oh I got scared when you mentioned a vacation. Glad you recorded more videos. I've been watching you for two years during my poop time. I'd be lost without you Enjoy your vacation, Zwag
These are the type of videos I love out of zwag. Real competition, not snowballing with 10 kills in 10 minutes. Him getting counter picked, having lackluster teammates and still prevailing! We love to see it.
I'm assuming this was recorded a couple days ago, in the Indiana Ohio region ish there was a massive windy storm that passed through those states and it was super intense here
That top laner was so annoying lol he's feeding his brains out and he's like I'm being put in bad fights... You picked Ksante deal with it and take blame damm
I hope you have a great vacation! Take care Zwag and try to relaxe 🤗 Thank you for everything you’re doing for us! I wish you and everyone who’s reading this the best! Take care.
I can't help but wonder. if we give pyke grasp of undying and gathering storm, will he get even more AD because he converts his max health bonus into AD?
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.
Zwag video title: “NO COUNTER PLAY”
Zwag 30 seconds into the video: “I’ve been counter picked”
Titles etc are from his editor, no?
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.
thats clickbait for you
@@justsomeguy471 a way to combat clickbait is to just be transparent and say you don't like it. hopefully it gets to the creators.
Bro, you read video titles? I just look at thumbnails.
This is not what happens when I play Pyke mid
HAHAHAHHAHA
Let’s be honest. Everything that happens when Zwag plays is an enigma. He gets handed kills in most games lmao
I can relate 💀
@@pyroweasel90 I mean, that happens most games if you play patiently and smart instead of trying to force stuff to happen.
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.
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
I was wondering how he got over there lol
"Did Zwag get the first 6 CS?"
No, he missed a melee and a caster minion
Lose Streak: 6
Day 1 of following Kyle
day 83 of waiting for my dad to come back.
Day 3 realizing this thread is in every video.
Day 194 of writing here which day it is
Day 74 of following Kyle
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.
Okay, but what did the people in-game say? JK xD League can be so toxic
That sadness will manifest into anger later on, happens to the best of us.
The good thing about League, is there is always someone worse than you. Once you land your first triple kill you'll get hooked.

I'm hoping they change that name again... it's not a good name for an item
@@st1lysh35 I like it personally. It's unique and interesting
Here's wishing Zwag a relaxing vacation. He's helped us relax so many times, he deserves it.
3:50 that's exactly why I love zwag so much, this man is way too good

Lowkey wanna see Zwag do a game taking towers and just farming, getting the highest farm he can in a game
With a Ryze mid, taking wolves and chickens when available...
10:06 shaco learned the full weight of 600 years of game development.
The ult looks so cool on this Pyke skin
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.
zwag what size is the video camera in your league of Legends gameplay I want to know
You scared me with the vacation talk... but you're just so awrsome that you recorded in advance. Thanks, man. Means a lot. Have fun, stay safe.
Zwag: "I just not need to ult the shaco" Proceeds to ult the shaco until he no longer gives gold.
Gotta love Pyke - an assassin with lots of cc; almost the only one in the game.
Zwag.

The shaco malding about a non existant pyke buff while playing a character with an invisible flash and dying to pyke ult is so funny
Oh I got scared when you mentioned a vacation. Glad you recorded more videos.
I've been watching you for two years during my poop time. I'd be lost without you
Enjoy your vacation, Zwag
Enjoy the vacation Zwagman. You deserve it!
Have a great vacay and thanks for the continuous stream of quality content it means a lot!
Zwag + KingStix = I get to enjoy league without having to do the godawful task of playing league
Is attack speed pyke reliable
I died at 23:40 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Im actually fookin dead right now
Zwag: "It's nearly impossible not to get kills as Pike."
Me: "Hold my eggnog...."
“I can’t get a peta they are never together” - 3 of them sitting in a bush… “hold on” 😂😂
Have a nice vacation zwag! You really really deserve one bro.
These are the type of videos I love out of zwag. Real competition, not snowballing with 10 kills in 10 minutes. Him getting counter picked, having lackluster teammates and still prevailing! We love to see it.
Great vid as always Zwag! Hope you have a great Vacation and enjoy yourself. You deserve it!
can you do the zyra build again with alternators now there is shadowflame
Could you please do a new tank Diana jungle build with the season 13 changes?
Spedran the entire vid in 30 seconds, good ults Zwag
Man, I love your videos. I watch them everyday without missing a single. Can you please play EKKO jungle.
Such a sick skin! Great games as always ❤
I'm assuming this was recorded a couple days ago, in the Indiana Ohio region ish there was a massive windy storm that passed through those states and it was super intense here
Thanks for the great Pyke vid!
Hope you have a good vacation Zwag! 🏖
Sick game Zwag!
Love Zwag already has the videos made so we can watch while he is on vaca

Congrats on the vacation
Wish you a good vacation, Zwag!

Can you play riftmaker build vayne
Can you try wild rift? it might be fun to watch after you come back
6:23 a Cull with 100 stacks at 7 minute mark. PAIN.
Ur voice's deeper, I like it OwO
i just didn't handle Shaco on chat: your kit is 20 times longer than my lore
I was panicking when I couldn't see Zwag's upload today.
I am calm now.
Man. Your videos are way too entertaining to skip over.
Nice job with this game. It was a good recovery! Pyke is a champ im starting to like a lot he’s really strong
Title: no counterplay
In the video: its counterplay
Anybody catch the visual bug at 17:55 where shows as being finishable?
No one’s says anything about it saying promoted to iron 1 lol
"Ksante is just a fat Lil' Nas"
Yes.
Enjoy your vacation! I hope you can relax. You deserve it
what buffs did he get?
combining both the RGB buff and the skin buff? pay to win at this point
Have fun on your vacation you deserve it!
Zwag please start A-Z series!!
How many straight forward hooks can you miss in 1 game xD
really wanted to see that penta darkness
I need to see you getting a penta on this pyke skin
اكيد راح يفعلها هذا اسطوره
I would do immoral things for a full lethality Lucian video
Is it me or the Quality of this video is not 1080p for sure. @TC Zwag might need to check your gear mate
Kinda funny is not that pyke dance animation the se as project vaynes?
Hope you have a great vacation!!!!!
Have a good trip Zwag. You deserve it.
Enjoy the vacation, you deserve it :)
That top laner was so annoying lol he's feeding his brains out and he's like I'm being put in bad fights... You picked Ksante deal with it and take blame damm
3:47
"You guys wont even know"
Meanwhile when the game starts,people speak in all chat about T1,breaking my heart once more.
The wind condition seemed difficult.
Zwag: Pyke mid is too OP and has no counterplay
Also Zwag: Wukong counters me pretty hard
*Goes 19/0*
"Alright well that was a tough game"
Zwag My man, May you have a pleasent vacation. And sorry for bad english, not native tongue.
Those guys were in for surprise at the beginnin :D bcs DRX won awesome game btw :D
Do you happen to coach at all, Zwag?
Ngl I've been playing HoB Kindrid mid and that shit slaps. Not a lot of Champs can out trade your level 1/2
I hope you have a great vacation! Take care Zwag and try to relaxe 🤗 Thank you for everything you’re doing for us! I wish you and everyone who’s reading this the best! Take care.
I smiled about K'sante and Shaco in the chat.😂
I can't help but wonder. if we give pyke grasp of undying and gathering storm, will he get even more AD because he converts his max health bonus into AD?
Possibly but the conversion is deliberately terrible to discourage trying to build health
Enjoy your vacation
17:35 blame the jg
I want to play everytime I watch these
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.
great game
rengar any build day 8 LOVE YOU ZWAG
All those t1 chat messages lol
Enjoy your vacation!
have a nice vacation!
*complains that its Windy today* .... Zwag... are you in FL!?
Day 295 of asking Zwag to play tank Soraka
(with Steelheart)
Me who just rolled project pyke: it's showtime😎
This new skin looks amazing.
AP Tristana?
The title : NO COUNTER PLAY
The video : 09:52
Have fun on yor vacation :)
Nunu and singed should be pretty alright against Pyke cause his clear is so terrible
That ain't Talon...need Talon..
