UPDATE:

On behalf of the team, we love the excitement and energy that we are seeing for Empyrean Pyke! We really wanted to highlight the celebration of Pyke's ult, so seeing the excitement around that, enjoyment out of Pyke touching grass, and him showing off his funky moves has been wonderful.

We have collected your feedback and after discussing it with the team, we were able to make the below changes:

VFX

  • Added visual effects to the homeguard.
  • Slightly toned down the Pyke killed target VFX.

SFX

  • Auto-Attack has New On Hit sound for the Autos.
  • The Q has new On Cast sound, as well as new On Hit sound.
  • For the W, we have updated the Enemy Health POV sound to be made more 'scary'. A little scream + screeching sounds.
  • We have increased the music volume in the Dance and R!

VO

  • Fixed a bug with Pyke's W VO being global.

Animation

  • We've heard that the E animation may feel a bit underwhelming in which we explored but found that iterations caused some gameplay and technical concerns, because of these concerns we decided not to proceed with these changes so close to launch.
  • We've seen some comments regarding Empyrean Pyke's new homeguard animation not feeling unique enough for a Legendary skin. Unfortunately we can't create another brand new homeguard's animation so close to launch, but we'll make a note of this for Legendary skins going forward!

Thank you again for all your kind words on this skin, testing out Empyrean Pyke, and for the feedback! ♥
