Tips Against Pyke as a Support Tips Provided by MOBAFire Guide Authors
Alchemyr says “High kill threat, but very punishable if he misses hook/E. If he ever burns his E defensively, you can dive him with E+W and force his Flash. Your R can also follow his roams mid much easier than most supports.
Sadly, his hook can interrupt literally almost every ability we have. That's the main thing to keep in mind, but hey – if he's hooking you, he's not hooking your ADC.”
0
TIJUA says “Roams a lot — ping map constantly.
Don’t waste shield for poke, save for all-ins.
If he misses hook, walk up and punish.”
0
Killeia says “You can heal through her poke. Her Q is very slow and easy to dodge. Watch out for her ultimate!”
0
RocTheBird says “Hooks punish as usual, and his execute ignores all healing.”
0
Kizzer says “too annoying to fight, if you ingage pyke E then run away and regen, he can grab you easely cause skarner is fat”
0
Suseri says “Has alot of mobility and some hard CC, try to safe your Q and use it after his dash while getting out in front of him to avoid getting stunned.”
0
Hoffmann says “Try not to get careless with Pyke; his hook will leave you disabled and you’ll probably die. Always stay behind the minions and place a ward in the bushes near the tower, since, being an aggressive champion, you’ll likely spend most of your time near it.”
0
Im.Tiypo says “This is one of those matchups where if I see it, it's almost just like if I'm seeing Ashe or Janna or Poppy. He has too many tools to just stop you from doing what you want to do. And a good Pyke will just not let you play the game. It will become a NPC experience and your background character in Pyke's life.
The hook isn't what makes this character so strong against the Zac matchup. It's the ultimate and it's his stun.
”
0
YujiYT says “Since Pyke is also a stealthy assassin-type support, he can match Shaco in mobility and roaming, but does it with more burst and teamfight execution. Pyke’s hook and dash allow him to catch Shaco when he overextends, and he often comes out ahead in 1v1 trades. If both roam, Pyke usually wins the influence game due to his reset potential and faster map movement. Box placement tells who wins this lane.”
0
kallil30 says “O maior counter de Sona. Se quiser jogar com ela, SEMPRE bana Pyke.”
0
RockTofu says “You deny Assassins like Pyke very well. Your kit counters his, so he's not really a threat. Just don't get hooked.”
0
Blue Bell24 says “IIf he cant have any interaction in lane, he will roam, ping his roams.
Save your heal when he is level 6 to give your ADC a burst heal as he goes to ult you, to neglect this execute.”
0
BologNezhs says “Has better map movement than you , can roam faster and can also dodge your hook with his E. Try to stop his E with your E and then land the hook.”
1
BigodeOfLegends says “Highly mobile, snowbally, and difficult to control with slows.”
0
RockTofu says “He is an assassin. You eat assassins for breakfast. Nuff said.”
0
Fear The Jester says “Boxblock his Q, bait him to R your clone, bait him into E flashing into a box. try to sneak boxes behind him, track his W camo range to make him appear the middle of a box stack.”
0
SIMR says “Can be a pain to get distance from him and once he closes the gap, its over.”
0
Quoko says “[[Pyke]] is a very slippery and dangerous support to face. His ability to roam and catch people out makes him a constant threat after level 3. As [[Neeko]], you need to avoid his hook and stun combo—if he lands it, it usually leads to a kill. He’s hard to lock down due to his mobility and stealth, so vision control is key. Try to root him as he goes in or punish him when he whiffs his hook.”
0
Auxqii says “You can bait his Q carefully. Don't go out when he is using his W. Don' go out if during the all-in he hasn't used his E.”
0
Backhaus says “Pyke is the most famous counter to Janna, making her first levels really hard if he pressures correctly.
He's a better laner, and a better roamer than you, but you outscale him by far.
”
0
Sakuritou says “Avoid this matchup at all costs, he hard counters you at any point of the game”
0
solus770 says “Pyke should be a permanent ban, as his kit is extremely overloaded.
First, it's virtually impossible to poke him out during the laning phase due to how his passive works. A percentage of damage dealt to Pyke is stored as grey health, which he can heal once he's no longer visible to enemy champions. Many Pyke players also run Second Wind, which restores HP after taking damage, making him even harder to deal with in lane.
Second, he's an engage champion with a lot of crowd control that can lock you down and kill you. Pyke deals significant damage because he's a hybrid assassin/support, making him an even greater threat than a typical engage support like Blitzcrank. He can burst you down before you even have a chance to react.
Third, his ultimate Death from Below ultimate goes through shields, making shielding past a certain threshold useless. He can still execute you or your ally regardless of how much shielding is provided.
Lastly, Pyke can go invisible with his Ghostwater Dive ability, giving him constant pressure during laning and allowing him to roam extremely effectively. If you're playing an immobile enchanter like Nami, you won’t be able to match his roams. Your best option is to spam pings and hope your team listens.
Additionally, Pyke has a lot of mobility built into his kit, enabling him to place deep wards in your jungle with ease. This can be overwhelming, as it hinders your ability to safely ward, rotate to protect towers, catch minion waves, assist teammates, or contest objectives. He often builds Umbral Glaive, which can deny a large portion of the vision you're able to place on the map.
Overall, Pyke is Nami’s worst counter and should be your number one ban. Always ban Pyke!”

Kluckadell says “One of the hardest match ups if the Pyke is somewhat good. You will never be able to lane without risking to die when this champion is open.”
0
longlastlex says “Hard to hit with skillshots, constantly threatens all-ins. Execution damage bypasses healing”
0
BreeTheUmo says “Not as scarry as a naut but you can jumpscare each other and if that leads to a hook you are probably dead.”

blastercheese1 says “Just a busted champ and should be banned 100% of the time.”

Quoko says “Good Pyke can be your worst nightmare. Stay away from bushes, hide behind minions, look out for his cooldown. Use W clone for blocking his Q. He is squishy but can easily escape”
1
innae says “Like Bard, a good Pyke will roam and try to match you for objectives and counterganks, be wary and know who has the stronger 2v2 or 3v3. Sometimes you can catch out enemy adc on their roams. ”

Vulpanium says “Invisibility, can roam good, ult that can reset, hook champion.”
0
ShriekingMammoth says “Can be tough, especially versus a decent Pyke with lots of experience. Has spells that W cannot block, but can block his hail of blades autos. If you or an ally are below is R execute, a shield will not do anything against this either. If you are able to scale or punish him early for misplays, he will be quite useless. ”
0
Kirkwardo says “consider putting a Vision ward in your bushes to see his ambushes, if he chooses to dive you, you will likely take each other out.”
0
Kalakaua says “Pyke is surprisingly dangerous and misleading, your ult can completely deny him any possible snowballing from laning phase but he still does a surprisingly high amount of damage before lvl 6.
If you are not careful before that he can get out of control.”
0
Neiri says “Second ban option. He is squishy but too mobile. Later on he kills all your wards. Somehow I have a 90% winrate against him. Play safe and ping missing EVERY time he goes.”
0
Zileanaire says “I don't dodge games, because every game is winnable, but if I was going to dodge a game Pyke would be one of the reasons why. Pyke is 1 of 2 champions that are the most extreme match ups for Zilean. Rakan is the other. His kit is just built to make your life hard. Hooks, stuns and stealth. Why Riot? He can and will roam 10x better than you. The only saving grace is that when you ult someone he tried to execute, despite him "killing" your ally, it does not count as a kill and therefor does not reset his ult. Take that. ”
0
FlopQueenEra says “SIdestep his hook and often buy control ward. Also ward the bushes on your lane.”
0
JVS8 says “The Pyke matchup is a skill matchup, but you outscale him, so even if you go even or fall slightly behind in the early game, it won’t matter. Pyke is currently a weaker champion and struggles in teamfights compared to Bard. As the game progresses, you'll have a stronger impact, especially in teamfights, where Pyke can't compete as effectively.”
0
Poro_King says “easy lane, ihe's squishy, if you place your w correctly you can disrupt his healing. If you use your r correctly you can counter his ultimate AND deal tons of damage to him while doing that. A good shaco can deal with him easily.”
0
mUI0g says “His hook is a high threat. He is also high mobility which make it hard to hit your abilities and easy for him to engage on you.”
0
Smaugyon says “another hook. Pyke is actually a fun matchup: if he can kill you in lane you will suffer if he cant you will bully him.
Play safe against him you hard outscall him ”
0
Cdevel says “Pyke is the one hook champion you can't care less about as long as he's not 10 times better than you. If he's 9 times better - your runes and summoners make him suffer the game.”

ZedAway says “almost impossible to catch, keep him off your adc and focus his, all he can offer is a hook and a stun anyway,”
0
Lumutheslime says “I personally always ban him due to his popularity over bard.
See bard section for explanations.”
0
Aerenax says “Pyke is squishy but very mobile. Catching him out and blowing him up fast will make you win lane. When you don’t finish him in one shot he will regen and you can try again.”
0
zSharpFire says “Either permaban him or Yuumi. Pyke has too much damage, can ult through your shields and will heal all your poke with his passive. Unless you somehow manage to bully him out or get jgl prio it's always a lost lane.”
0
JVS8 says “This matchup is skill-dependent, but you have the advantage as you outscale Pyke. Even if you end up going even or slightly behind in the early game, it won’t be a significant issue. Pyke struggles in teamfights compared to Bard, so your late-game presence will be stronger.
”
0
Arctic Arrow says “Pyke is a minor threat if you manage his engages effectively. Use your Q to intercept his hook or dodge it with your W, and follow up with a stun if he gets close.
If he hooks your ADC, use your E to reposition them, though be aware that your ADC might still take significant damage. Try to tank the hook when necessary and use your W to dodge his E (Phantom Undertow). You can also bait out his ultimate (Death from Below) with your E to mitigate its impact and create opportunities to outplay him.”

Jezzzir says “Hard to punish with poke, hard to dodge his CC, insane ward/shroom clearing with umbral and mobility.”
0
TIMEISWASTINGXD says “General rule for strong engage supports:
Bit disgusting in lane since theyre strong earlygame, but after mid-late its extremly easy and every E should be a kill and ur ult counters most of them

xpwnz1337 says “ADC IQ TEST MATCHUP.
I usually pick Pyke into Alistar as its overloaded and counters.
Counterplay: Never W+Q him as he can E away and hook. Play for his mistakes. Eat hook into ADC engage.
After 6 beware of his R true damage dont decrease through Alistar R.

Also all in champs dangerous for you, so try avoid their engage.”

TLK__________ says “its pyke, prepare ur skills u will need it, for his Q, u just need to do EQ on him and run, but care if he press Q and then flash. some advice whe he uses his E, if u are faster u can dodge with WQ because ur move speed improve ur speed movement, its not ez to do but u can save flash doing that thing, then u just EQ on him with AA, QQ and he maybe die.”
0
Abarame says “Make 1 mistake and a good Pyke kills you. Dodging his Q is paramount to lane vs Pyke. His invisible roaming is very scary since you cant see him for most of the journey. Control Wards and Sweeper are great for lane and teamfighting. If he falls slightly behind, make sure he stays that way by peeling ur team and denying ult resets. You can Q his E and stop his Q but u have to be fast. Sometimes it can still go off and hook someone despite the knockback. If he gets a lead, respect his ult and play defensively. If you hate engage matchups, BAN THIS ONE. Guardian page and Wardstone 3rd is MANDATORY.”

TnDD says “Seviye 2'de E açmanı öneririm. Pykelar 2. seviyede dalmayı severler. Bu eşleşme senle değil Pyke'ı oynayan oyuncuyla alakalı. Eğer iyi bir Pyke ise seni yenecek. Değilse kaybedecek. Koridoru kazanmaktan çok roam atmaya, jungle ile hareket etmeye bak.”

TaagadaTV says “Tous les champions avec des grap sont du poison. | All champ with hook are poison”

IMANOOBOKOWO says “You can stop his hook with your Q or just dodge with W into stunning him, if he hooks your adc you can E them away however your adc will be highly damaged so try to tank the hook for them, then try to outplay with your W(You can dodge his E with your W dash)( you can also bait him into wasting ult with your E healing)”
0
FunnyBunnyH says “Generally I consider the matchup Mao favoured, because we scale better, and we have decent outplay potential vs his kit from lvl2 onwards.
The main reason I gave him an "Even" rating is because with Umbral rush his vision control can be pretty oppressive, and because you still need to track his roams well to not allow him an advantage.”
1
hardkoR says “You out-scale him hard and his team-fighting is terrible
But he is still a huge thread because of his early game power and ability to win the game solo through roams (he snowballs very well). Try to survive early, ping his roams and you will be much stronger later if his not too fed”

Foxirion says “Pyke’s high damage, mobility, and execution with his ultimate make him an extreme threat to Nautilus. His ability to become invisible and heal with his W can also make it difficult for Nautilus to catch him.”

Stillo says “hook champs suck vs braum because even if you or adc get pulled you can just w and e and block most of the damge!”

Foxirion says “Pyke's assassination potential and crowd control make him a major threat to Rakan, as he can quickly dive onto Rakan and take him down before he can react.”

RangoFan2011 says “Pyke will always be stronger in lane than you. He will also have vision score on you. This is a rare case where I recommend opposition so that you can face check for your team. You outscale him hard though.”

TTV_h3x0rcist says “Hook and dash combo too strong vs E engage and disengage”

Velkyann says “Almost not playable, his Q can be held so it is very hard to know where exactly he is looking, he also has alot of self-heal and an very strong invisibility. Against a Pyke you can poke him through the minions but be carefull because he can dash into the minions or just run into them to Q.”

Asumopel says “Pyke plays similar to support camille except you are stronger than him. His Q can interupt your e. Play around spacing mistakes. ”

MorePierogiVanya says “Pyke's still gonna be pyke at the end of the day. However, your W counters his E, let alone your own on yourself counters his.

Kcmichalson says “[SUP] Poppy has a lot of tools to defuse Pyke. When he tries to stun or hook you or your carry, dash into him to throw his aim off.
When you see him gunning for your low-health carry, dash him away.”

NormalOstrich says “It's pyke, he has good engage tools to punish even the safest of pokes, camps bushes, makes you hate him. My recommendation is play safe and force him out of lane by roaming. Also, don't go near the side he's on, and use e to help dodge his engages.”

Arturiju says “Executes like Pykes Ult (Death from Below) ignore shields and other types of Damage reduction. Additionaly Pyke may build Serpents Fang to reduce Shields. Despite this, his winrate against Rell is still negative (45%).”

PVZfanatic says “Who though giving this man 2 mobility abilities, an execute AND A HOOK was a good idea. Need vision everywhere, and don't sit in lane at low health or you just become free food as he ults you when you hit execute threshold. I ban him if I'm banning for support.”

Whulgorlum says “I really dislike Pyke. He does really good damage, he can go invisible, he can hook you and stun you/others, he can roam better than you can and has an resetting execute on his ultimate.

Ryecheria says “Look to poke if you can, but prioritize not dying and staying out of lethal range and ranges for critical abilities. If you can cheese them and poke them so that they are unable to engage then the match up is playable.
W the Pyke at the start of his trade. He is forced to E on top of you or leave. If he goes in to your wave, he loses the trade.
Pyke will look to dive/ all in you even at full HP if jungle matchup is favorable.
Keep poking the adc (Pyke heals and has high base armor and MR).”

Lulu Mushroom Teas says “Must be extra careful against.
It's often an Even Matchup and Nidalee on Mid/Late Game is often way more oppressive on this Build. But, against Pyke on Early Game it's harder to survive if we make a single mistake, differently from what happens against Blitzcrank, Nautilus or Thresh. Don't rush anything trying to elimitate the squishies at all cost: remain patient and precise in your plays. Game changing opportunities will come easier with patience; but this doesn't mean we can't win the Lane Phase very fast and smooth; but it can be an 8/80.”

mazewalk says “He has strong early game but he is quite weak in teamfights since he has no escapes. You can deny his E when he is trying to escape but it is more complcated if he engages on you. If he uses E from far enough and he ends up right behind you - then your flay will deny his stun. Pyke always builds Umbral Glaive so you will never win vision in this MU. Buy Solari so it will take more time until he will be able to execute your teammates.”

TheBougis says “Pyke's damage is not nearly enough to kill you alone but he can Q you into the zone and has very good mobility to dodge your Q's.

Shadowcrushers says “
Pyke, the Bloodharbor Ripper, and Soraka, the Starchild, are two unique champions in the game League of Legends. While they belong to different roles and possess different abilities, there are several factors that make them an even match in certain scenarios:
Mobility and Catch Potential: Pyke excels at mobility and catching opponents off-guard with his abilities. His Hookshot (Q) allows him to close the gap quickly, while his Phantom Undertow (E) provides him with a dash and stun. This mobility makes it challenging for Soraka to escape Pyke's engage. Additionally, Pyke's ultimate ability, Death from Below (R), allows him to execute low-health enemies, even if they are under the effects of Soraka's ultimate, Wish. This high mobility and catch potential give Pyke a significant advantage against Soraka.
Crowd Control and Silence: While Soraka has access to her Equinox (E), which can silence enemies, Pyke's abilities offer him crowd control options as well. His Bone Skewer (Q) can hook and stun enemies, setting up potential kills, while his Ghostwater Dive (W) grants him invisibility and a speed boost. These crowd control effects and silence abilities on both champions create an interesting dynamic, allowing them to counter each other's abilities and create opportunities for their team.
Sustain and Healing Reduction: Soraka is renowned for her healing abilities, being able to restore large amounts of health to herself and her allies. However, Pyke's abilities can counteract this advantage. His Gift of the Drowned Ones (passive) allows him to regenerate health rapidly when he's out of combat, making it difficult for Soraka to poke him down. Moreover, Pyke's basic attacks and abilities apply Grievous Wounds, reducing the effectiveness of Soraka's healing by 40%. This healing reduction can neutralize Soraka's ability to sustain her team, evening the playing field between the two champions.
Teamfight Presence: Both Pyke and Soraka bring unique benefits to teamfights. Pyke's abilities make him an excellent roamer and engage support, allowing him to pick off priority targets and initiate teamfights. On the other hand, Soraka excels in sustaining her teammates and turning the tide of battle with her Wish (R), which can heal the entire team from anywhere on the map. These distinct playstyles create an interesting back-and-forth in teamfights, where Pyke attempts to burst down targets while Soraka counters with her healing and crowd control.
Strategic Importance: Finally, Pyke and Soraka have different strategic importance in the game. Pyke is an aggressive playmaker who can create advantages for his team through picks and engages. On the other hand, Soraka is a defensive support who excels at keeping her teammates alive. In scenarios where the game requires early aggression and pick potential, Pyke can match Soraka's healing capabilities with his burst damage. Conversely, in games where sustain and late-game teamfighting are crucial, Soraka's healing prowess can outweigh Pyke's assassination potential.
In conclusion, Pyke and Soraka are considered an even match due to their respective strengths and weaknesses. While Pyke brings high mobility, catch potential, and healing reduction, Soraka counters with sustained healing, crowd control, and a global ultimate. The outcome of their matchup largely depends on the context of the game, team compositions, and the skill and decision-making of the players involved.”

mazewalk says “Pyke is pretty much like Rakan but better, he easily gains vision, since he can buy Umbral Glaive, he's as mobile as Rakan is, but he uses other items and his cc is harder to hit. You can buy Redemption, so it'll take more time before he can execute someone with his ult. Don't use Ghost Poro if playing against Pyke, because as I said, he builds Umbral Glaive.”

Wounds2 says “When I've played this matchup, I either hard win or hard lose. It's all about whether or not Pyke can make good plays/hooks, otherwise you outscale and can counter him in later fights. If he uses E on you, you can fling him away and avoid the stun. Using your W also prevents him from using E and R”

Cyclic says “This is my permaban. His entire kit counters senna and among most senna mains he is regarded as the best senna counter in the entire game. He will sustain all of your poke with his passive and once he gets umbral glaive or sweeper you can't walk up to ward against him anymore either. His roams are deadly and hard to punish since he could just be sitting in a bush bot lane or going to kill your mid laner. Unlike other hook champs he is also high mobility so a good flash E from him which is insanely hard to react properly to means instant death in most cases. I recommend banning this champ or dodging”

ZharMeny says “He pretty much can't do much, as he is a Hook Support, the worst thing he can do is to hook you in, and all he can do in lane is Q>E>3x AA. Recommended Stance: Mounted”

Toches says “He's my ban. Consider banning him above like diamond 3.
Normally, pyke is a melee support, and taric counters melee supports.
This is a skill matchup, but pyke completely drives it.
If neither of you know what you're doing, it's pretty even.
If you know more, you'll win
If pyke knows more he'll win.
If you both are the best player at that champion on the server and know the matchup like the back of your hand, taric loses every time.
Pyke has an answer for all of your moves, and you'll be useless against patient pykes.

Fenreee says “|||SUPPORT||| Janna favored skill matchup: Pyke falls off so hard it's laughable and Glacial provides massive lockdown potential on a pyke, a champion that already struggles to keep up in damage and is made of paper. He is definitely one of the most dangerous hooks pre-6, but he falls off harder than his tank counterparts who already lose to Janna. The big secret to this matchup is just figuring out what Pyke's wincondition is, and then counter-gank him and follow him to remain even in laning phase. Pyke naturally has to take more risks and will therefore be under pressure to do something. Usually you can win this matchup literally by just waiting for him to do something dumb out of desperation to snowball. Ignite is good for keeping vision on him if he tries to escape a fight with W. Swifties are good into Duskblade as the item grants him a point n click slow. Zhonya's is life ruining for him as you can put his R on CD and put yourself in really dumb danger spots if he starts refusing to target you. Double Armor rune in rune stats is also very strong since the lane will purely do physical damage and Glacial Janna doesn't scale off of AP anyways.”

He often E right after his Q so W when you see the Q is about to hit either you or your mates. Always ignite him he is super squishy once you stunned. Whoever kills snowballs. Extremely good lane to learn the pick.
Also, you outdamage him in early, so if he wants to play the ''who kills the ADC first'', you'll win.”

Challenger Project says “Pykes’ all power is in his first 2 levels, and while that is more than enough to deal with enchanter, we have much more survivability and damage. It is easy to abuse him every time when he try to hook you or your ADC.”

Maxwell_Shaco says “Saddest thing about this match up is that he will buy Umbral Glaive which makes boxes and vision disappear every 30 seconds... Completely broken item.
Don't die to his level 2, he will have a dash and a hook. Make sure you and your ADC play safe at this moment and potentially save your box to block his hook.
Keep some boxes as safe zones and prepare for Pyke all ins and you can usually win the fight.
Once you survive the early game and you have more CDR and AP you will be able to burst and bully him since he often wants to engage with his dash instead of using it to escape.”

Eu como Miilena says “Pyke tem um Engage forte mas se ele precisar usar o W pra fazer isso ele não tera escape e se tornara um alvo fácil então force ele a usar o W ficando atrás de minions e tomando cuidado com arbustos, assim que ele vir pra cima use o W nele e desvie de seu stun com o E se necessário depois de estunado use R+Q nele. ”

Mairdrin says “Lots of mobility, and a hook to screw your own lack of mobility over. Protect yourself with minions and ward bushes. Remember that Pyke's W has audio and visual cues even if he used it in a bush, and fall back if you think he's going in for a gank with the Jungler or a simple hook.”

SunnySneezer says “Its just as easy as it gets : you get hooked/cced you die. Surely a bad Pyke is irrelevant to you but a good one will make your lane unplayable. Also remember in mid/late ❌ 𝙃𝙞𝙨 𝙪𝙡𝙩𝙞𝙢𝙖𝙩𝙚 𝙄𝙂𝙉𝙊𝙍𝙀𝙎 𝙮𝙤𝙪𝙧 𝙨𝙝𝙞𝙚𝙡𝙙𝙨 ❌ so your W or Solary/aery is pretty much useless. ”

TheBlueImperial says “Another hook champion that struggles because he cannot engage onto your carry if you stand between them. Hooking you puts his carry at risk of being jumped on, which will often result in their death. However, he is incredibly slippery and impossible to lock down alone so always engage on his carry, not him.”

RIPStollie says “Good pyke players will be hard for any control mage to play against, and he is a much bigger threat in the mid lane, but not very many people play him in that role so this is for support. The threat that he has in lane is the ability to walk in front of the wave and spam his Q on you until one of them connects. It is important to make sure that you are always in a safe spot in lane, just like you would be against any hook champion, and keep vision if possible because pyke works well with ganks. Other than that, just dodge 4head”

PumpkinMatters says “A briga com o Pyke parece com a do Blitz, só que é mais difícil. Ele tem muitas ferramentas para escapar e consegue te ignorar para focar no seu adc. Isso sem contar com a ult dele, que te finaliza muito rápido se você não tiver cuidado. Uma das opções, caso o Pyke esteja sendo muito agressivo, é usar seu W em cima dele pra forçá-lo a usar seu E, afastando-o da rota. Não deixe-o acertar o Q em seu adc e, caso ele te puxe, só cair de cavalo na cabeça do adc dele”

pHreekaz says “This can go 2 ways. You destroy him or he destroys you. try to do the first.

PumpkinMatters says “This matchup is similar to Blitz's, but harder. He has a lot of tools to escape, and he can ignore you to focus your ADC, not to mention his ult, that can execute you quickly if you're not careful. One of your options, in case he's being too aggressive, it to use your W on him, to force his E, pushing him back fro mthe lane. Don't let him land his Q on your ADC, but in case he pulls you, throw your horse on his ADC's head”

pastelzia says “Pyke is a pretty hard counter for Yuumi in lane because of his hook ability, Bone Skewer for the most part. This ability can catch Yuumi during You and Me! animation, refreshing the cooldown, as well as when Yuumi is detached from You and Me! also refreshing the cooldown. Pyke also has his ultimate, Death From Below, which executes enemies at a certain health threshold, allowing Pyke to catch Yuumi out when she is attaching to an ally or switching allies with You and Me! Pyke's Phantom Undertow allows pyke to dash, leaving behind a Phantom underneath whereever he has been during the animation of Phantom Undertow, stunning enemies in its path, refreshing You and Me! cooldown. In general, Pyke is a huge threat, having 2 ways to counter Yuumi's kit, and an ultimate that can catch Yuumi out in bad situations.”

Discord231 says “Pyke no te podrá hacer nada en la fase de líneas, consejo, a menos que su adc sea un Jhin puedes dejarte agarrar con su Q para acercarte a su adc con tu W, aprende a evitar su E, y no tengas miedo de pegarle básicos para ganar oro de Filo de Roba Hechizos, si te hace daño con su Q a melee, ya tienes una ventaja para iniciar.

itsElJefe says “Get control of the bushes. Pyke players love bush control. They can pull you stun you and auto you and usually, you will be in execute range if they are level 6 or higher. ward the bushes in lane with supp item, get a control ward and a sweeper. Use you range and poke him to death, he's very squishy and falls behind easily. When he goes invisible just BACK UP. If he wins lane it's GG go next. ”

revu says “[ROAMING SUPPORT]
Same as Blitzcrank. If you react fast enough, you can cancel his Q channel and if your adc can follow up it should result into a kill on him.

Stannis_The_Mannis says “E him when he start winding up his Q as even at full length he's still within your E range, and he's slowed while Q-ing. Even if you get pulled, just give him a full damage Q for half his health bar, though don't intentionally get hooked as the other adc not likely to let you leave with full health ether. Be careful if he reach lvl 6 before you as he can 1v1 you without your R.”

Luckily, a lot of people are not that good on Pyke and he's not very popular right now.

He will try to stun you instead of your ADC in laning phase 90% of the time, so you have to be ready to polymorph his ADC before the stun hits you.

iKonek says “While Pyke does have a lot of pick and playmaking potential, his teamfighting ability is less than stellar. Other than risking his life for a chainstun and ulting, he doesn't do much in these battles besides making picks. Also, due to his inability to get health, he is a very squishy target, albeit one who can quickly regain his health. Protect low health teammates who are in execute range, and try to pull people out of his ult to deny him his reset.”

Korippo says “Really annoying to lane against due to the fact he can go invisible and surprise hook you, as well as follow up with his dash-stun and execute ult. He's not too bad pre-6 as his damage on his own is rather negligible, but his R is what makes him so scary since it doesn't matter if he's the one getting all the kills with it, his allies will get credit too. I would ban this guy if you feel like he's going to be an issue, especially if your team is entirely squishy champs as if he has someone fed to peel, he will likely just get a pentakill and win.”

Against Pyke build as usual, you can build steelcaps if you dont feel comfortable against him, in the rune section you should take double armor,shield size 16shield size 16 and play as usual
Pyke roams a lot so remember counter-roaming him when he gets out of lane”

Guoblide says “Pyke is a winnable matchup for Braum in the laning phase as long as you peel for your ADC and play around Phantom Undertow. Pyke is an AD Assassin support who specializes in roaming around the map and setting up plays for his team in the early game before he eventually falls off in mid to late game teamfights. Pyke's powerspikes are at Level 2 when Phantom Undertow gives him great engage and grants him access to pull off a lot of different combos and Level 3 when Ghostwater Dive gives him great sustain, mobility, and stealth. His Level 6 powerspike is massive due to Death from Below being a re-castable execute that can go through Unbreakable and create a massive gold advantage for his team if he finished off his targets. Similar to other hook matchups, Braum and his ADC should play super safe until Level 6 and stand behind the minion wave to block Bone Skewer from landing. Braum himself should position in between his ADC and Pyke so he can tank for your ADC if Pyke somehow gets a Bone Skewer through the wave or engages with Phantom Undertow. Once Braum hits Level 2 the lane gets way easier due to him getting access to Unbreakable. Unbreakable has a lot of weird interactions with Pyke. An uncharged Bone Skewer will go directly through Unbreakable and deal full damage but a charged Bone Skewer will be intercepted and blocked by Unbreakable. Pyke will complete his Phantom Undertow dash through the Unbreakable shield but the projectile he leaves behind will be intercepted. This is great at defending your ADC to deny the Phantom Undertow stun if Pyke dashes behind them. Level 3 is scary for Braum due to Pyke being able to Ghostwater Dive behind your ADC and engage onto them from there which makes it hard to defend your ADC. The best thing to do is to have your ADC back into a wall and stick super close to them whenever you hear the Ghostwater Dive sound go off. Since Ghostwater Dive's duration is 5 seconds and Unbreakable's duration is only 3 seconds try to wait 2-3 seconds and then Unbreakable to predict the Pyke Bone Skewer or Phantom Undertow engage. After Level 3 when Braum has all of his non-ultimate abilities unlocked try to shove the wave into Pyke's tower to deny his roaming as Pyke is one of, if not the best, roamers in the game. If you see Pyke dissapear from lane to roam mid then spam ping him and stay behind as Pyke can reach mid in almost half the time as you can. Hope your mid retreats to safety and try to shove the wave and get plates with your ADC or zone the enemy ADC off of CS with the 2v1 advantage. If Pyke roams to a Dragon or river skirmish then follow him with your ADC or pick off the enemy ADC if they are out of position Pyke leaves them behind on accident. After Level 6 Pyke becomes a major threat due to his Death from Below which is an AOE execute that can reset and give him and his teamates extra gold when it kills someone. Try to play safe and back if you are even remotely low as Pyke's mobility and full combo can easily allow him to sneak up on you and one shot you from as much as 60% HP. Try to save Glacial Fissure for picking off the ADC or for peeling when you are engaged on as Pyke can easily dodge it with his Ghostwater Dive and Phantom Undertow. Once Braum gets out of lane though he outscales Pyke by a lot and can be way more helpful later on in the game.”

Spection says “Level of threat is highly dependent on how well the Pyke utilizes aggression. Treat the player with caution until you can determine how well they play their champion, and then respect them if necessary. Watch for an invis W into Q E combo.”

DanNS12 says “Stand behind minions to avoid Pyke's hook he has kill pressure level 1-2 so try to play passive early levels and it's safer to start relic shield because you won't be able to poke safely. Once Pyke hits level 3 he gains invisablility and can catch you off guard if you aren't positioned correctly. At level 6 if you are low recall because Pyke's R is a execute and it gives his allies gold for helping with the kill. Don't face check bushes and ping your teammates when Pyke is missing.”

heartgoldd says “His R goes through your shield and you can't interupt his R animation with Q or R. This should be your ban if a teammate has already banned thresh. If people were better at Pyke he would be a primary ban, he is also low pick rate, hence why I don't ban him.”

I put 1 point in q level 3 and another level 4 because the extra poke is worth a bit more than healing. Go the early game rune page.”

wheelshoe says “not worth worrying about. if he goes to skewer you, just e him. if he skewers you, just e him. if he's chasing you while invisible, just q where you think he is (if you're good at guessing, 8 times out of 10 you'll be right) and e behind yourself. make sure the timing will root him when he steps on it. the only thing to worry about is his r. you're squishy and have no real way of escaping it, so if you're low on health, be aware of where he is and stay out of his ultimate range.

edkemr says “RUN INSPIRATION WITH ZHONYA, BISCUITS AND SCORCH.
The problem with Pyke it's obvious, but not the worst of all. He remains squishy through all game and Silver Pyke players tend to be very predictable. Play behind minions and respect the range of his Q. Bully him as hard as you can and ping his roams, even try to follow if you have the proper vision and coverage, otherwise take advantage of the alone ADC. If you manage to not let him kill at all during laning phase you've done more than half of the job, since you outscale him.
If he gets an early lead, rush Seeker's Armguard and don't get caught: if he snowballs he will make the ADC snowball too thanks to the gold multiplication.”

Stay behind him and go a little more aggressive before level 6 as he does not have as much to kill you but that doesn't mean he can't kill you. He is naturally squishy so try and call down your jungler for ganks and ward the river well so your mid can worry less about Pyke ganking. Mid-Late game, vision control is important as he builds Umbral Glaive and that would kill a lot of your wards. Stopwatch/Hourglass is recommended.”

Tauricus2017 says “Pyke can be a very dangerous thread for a newer Soraka players. The key to victory here is to deny his hooks with Equinox (or dodge or block) so he can not get close enough to you. When he uses his R, make sure you cast yours to deny the execution. You can also use Zhonya or Heal summoner spell in this case. Do not try to poke him since he heals everything back.”

SpartanDumpster says “Same with Thresh, his pulling ability has a wind up, so keep an eye out for that, stay behind minions, and avoid it. Players often hide in the brush when they're about to use that ability, so a safe bet is to keep your distance from the brush if he could have entered it from beyond your vision.
Pyke's Ult is an execute, so he can easily pop out of nowhere and kill you and any of your teammates who are weak enough, which makes timing your ult extremely difficult.”

Ping your teammates whenever Pyke is missing on the lane.
You hard outscale him.”
0
Midas_Wail says “Just ban Pyke. His mobility, stealth, and hook all hard counter your safe laning style, and you can't run away from him in lane or in the river. For example, you can get away from a Blitzcrank after being hooked because you are really fast with your e. But when a Pyke dashes on you, you waste your e, then you get hooked and it's game over, Pyke can do this anywhere, and if you are caught out mid roam, you aren't helping the team. ”

Takitsu says “skill matchup, whoever hits enemy carry usually wins. However, it is REALLY easy to flay Pyke Q. Whenever Pyke walks up to throw his dagger, instead of running away like some headless chicken, walk close enough to flay him as soon as he starts charging his Q. Pyke has to E out, or E in. If Pyke goes in with no Q, you can focus the carry. Carry out of range? Kill the Pyke. Thresh can also hook Pyke out of Q.
Flaying Pyke E is difficult but possible, can save your carry in most instances.”

itizhelia says “Skill-based much.
Avoid his hooks to put pressure on him.
Peel your ADC since it's a common case for people to get picked over by Pyke and respect his all in.
He's much of a better champion than you in the lane phase.
But mid-late phase you go equally even.

KajiKumihoAkukei says “Pyke can be annoying to deal with, but if he hooks you in just follow up with your own hook. If he goes for your ADC, just go on his ADC to zone them of. Don't greed for towerplates of waves again Pyke when you are low because his R has an execute and will take you down.”

Dotje says “Because Pyke has a lot of regeneration, it's often not worth to poke him down. If you're being the dominant laner over him, he can be easy to kill with imperial mandate and ignite. This is because he doesn't get bonus hp. It's best to try not to get hooked, and defend your carry instead, but be careful of his stun.”

Navn says “This is normally a winning 2v2 match-up, if you can react to him charging his Q with your W (only if he's in range) then you should win. If he can Q you but you can't reach him, then hes still usually pretty far and its easier to dodge it. Take ignite vs him, since if he's visible, he won't regen. Then you can E-W him immediately if he tries to hook you and you can usually kill him immediately if your lane partner also jumps him during the CC/reveal.”

Xeptron says “Pyke is an interesting matchup. In terms of kits, Thresh counters him. In terms of damage, Pyke wins this by far. Whoever gets the lead early, wins the matchup. It is important to play smart and start an engage when Pyke's Q is on cooldown. Whenever that's the case, that's your window to find a pick and engage. Very important to have ignite up as well to lower his healing.”
0
CanadaJay says “His hook and stun are awful to fight against, and he can do so much damage with his entire kit. His grey health healing is also annoying, like when you think you're about to kill him, but he just goes invis and regens back... What he does lack though is base health, so use that to your advantage.”

Frank6264 says “Pyke puede llegar a ser peligroso si se desposicionan lo suficiente como para meter su combo de Q-E o E-Q. A nivel 6 traten de no quedarse bajos de vida ni ustedes ni el ADC ya que con la definitiva puede ejecutarlos. Fuera de eso, Pyke es un campeón que tiene una habilidad muy predecible como es la Q y una vez gastado, salvo con su E no tiene forma de hacer mucho daño. Si usa la E de manera ofensiva, traten de castigarlo metiéndole CC para que no pueda escapar. Además, tengan en cuenta que es un personaje cuerpo a cuerpo por lo que hostíguenlo en fase de líneas para sacarlo de línea. ”

CaptianMike says “I have had no issues with Pyke at all. You can easily poke him down with auto attacks and bombs throughout the laning phase. Slow him down, he will panic dash, then double bomb him for an easy stun. He will never be able to land a hook on you or your adc if you use your speed ups properly. Pyke's ultimate does not get a reset if he "kills" a target you ulted with Chronoshift. ”

Notes: You can take heal and flash for the ulti "outplays" and you can also e him as he is channeling his q to cancel it, you can ground him to prevent his dash, and you can e him backwards if he e's you to SOMETIMES cancel it.”

DeadlyPhantom says “Pyke from my experience is the hardest Counter. Of course he has a hook, but he has a Dash that can also Stun.

llamacorn18 says “Pyke is annoying as he can follow you through the river and easily outmatch your roam with his superior crowd control and mobility.

You can ult and see him through his w, which is very helpful come late game.”

GMGZ2 says “(My Ban Pick) Can go camouflaged and get away or go in to hook attack. Try dodging with your Q so that cancels out his invisibility and hook. Put boxes in bushes and his surprise hooks are much harder for him to pull off. Watch out for his R which is an executing move that you do want to be caught under especially when low on health. On top of that, when he kills an enemy with his R he and the rest of his team get a ton of bonus gold! (VERY BALANCED RIOT XDDDD) Speaking about low health, did you know Pyke also has passive healing from any DMG he has taken? All in all, stronger than Shaco and some how even more annoying than Shaco.”

Guoblide says “Pyke is another matchup that comes down to who has better positioning. Engaging onto Pyke is nearly impossible in lane due to his amazing disengage with Ghostwater Dive and Phantom Undertow. Pyke can also sustain way better than you because of his gray health from Gift of the Drowned Ones. However, Pyke is so squishy that getting a single Facebreaker stun is an almost guaranteed kill on him. In lane Pyke looks to put as much pressure on you and your ADC by threatening to engage by Bone Skewering or Phantom Undertowing your ADC. Pyke outputs a lot of damage so Sett should be positioned next to his ADC most of the time in order to peel for them if Pyke engages. Pyke's Phantom Undertow has 1 second delay time so if you Facebreaker Pyke into you when he Phantom Undertows behind your ADC then the Phantom Undertow will stun you and not your ADC. Always look for opportunities to Flash + Facebreaker onto Pyke or his ADC. Pyke has insane snowball potential due to the massive gold lead that he gets from getting kills with Death from Below. Pyke is also a heavy lethality builder so getting a Ninja Tabi is always good if he gets too fed.Keep in mind that Death from Below damage goes through shields so try to use Haymaker for it's shield before you get too low. Pyke has extremely good roams and can always out-roam you so spam ping missing when Pyke disappears from lane. During teamfights try to stick next to your ADC so you can peel for them if Pyke tries to assassinate them.”

FDiBA says “If the Pyke is good, this is by far Seraphines worst matchup. He can easily outrun Seraphines low movement speed and lock her down.
What can you do against this?:
1. Remember his CD's are pretty high. If he misses his Hook you can breathe for a good 8 seconds until he tries again. This time space can be used to Poke him or the ADC down.
2. Try staying on your Echo at all times that he has his Hook up.
This way you can give yourself a bigger shield and alot of movement speed, with your W, when he walks up and tries to hit a hook.
3. With communicating to your ADC try getting a good freeze in your lane. Pyke thrives in lanes that are pushed to his tower. That also means try not to hit/kill too many minions with your Abilities when poking.
4. PINGING! Make sure to ping that Pyke is missing when he is missing. A good Pyke can hard carry with his roam potential. Additionally try getting good wards in river when possible.”

0
Jovy says “In general a pretty difficult match-up, but it will depend on how good the Pyke is. I'd compare it to a Thresh or Blitz lane, they can kill Janna (easily even, damage wise) but they have to hit you with their Qs first. As long as you can dodge, he'll have a hard time engaging on you since you outrun him and have a lot of disengage for yourself and your ADC.”

Kilo Khaos says “While Pyke does have a lot of pick and playmaking potential, his teamfighting ability is less than stellar. Other than risking his life for a chainstun and ulting, he doesn't do much in these battles besides making picks. Also, due to his inability to get health, he is a very squishy target, albeit one who can quickly regain his health. Protect low health teammates who are in execute range, and try to pull people out of his ult to deny him his reset.”
0
moon827 says “Due to the fact that he is an assassin, pyke's pull range is smaller than most supports on his hook, but he can deal much more damage than they can, and he has a stun, which the other hook users dont. This makes him extremely lethal, and is going to be one of your biggest threats. His ult is also one of the best in the game, giving him so much kill potential due to it being an execute if you are low enough, which ends up being up to almost 1000 health.”
0
KajiKumihoAkukei says “Pyke definitely is a tough match-up because of his mobility and all-in potential, which make his laning phase pretty strong.
When it comes to teamfighting though, Pyke tends to lose versus a well-versed Thresh. If there are low-health targets within execute range of Pyke's ultimate make sure to throw your lantern to them to get them to safety.
The up-side of this match-up is that Pyke is a very squishy target, which makes him easy to burst down if you land a hook on him.

Taric Support says “Pyke has many ways to make use of his kit, but usually he looks for a pull with his Q, and then he follows that up with a stun. If you get pulled towards him, the stun will be impossible to dodge, so you need to stay behind minions when playing against pyke, like when playing against Blitzcrank. When pyke engages on your ADC, you should mainly focus on hitting pyke with your stun, and if possible ALSO the enemy ADC. Against pyke you should play safe behind minions, but also look for engages when his spells are on cooldown.”

sashadidntwalk says “If he catches you, you are pretty much dead since he'll instantly use his E afterwards and you'll be left poked out or dead, use your E if this happens.

SkeleMan says “Annoying for just the sheer amount of peel he has + his execute. He can pull you from almost the same range you can. He has a dash + stun in one ability, he has an invis, and he has an execute that just kills you past a certain hp, and ignores all your armor and MR.”

Dreadscythe95 says “Always the same story. You think you have him but then he ults and erases you if you don't have your hourglass yet. And if that fails then he just runs away, it's extremely hard to punish a pyke even if he does mistakes. Cancer champion in general, he counters everything, not just Swain, he needs balance or changes.”

thesophieset says “A good Pyke is a major threat, but in theory, this is a winnable lane for you. As soon as you see him channel his Q, cancel it with your E – you might want to skill Q > E > W first here to deny his level 2 engage. Make sure not to get stunned by his E dash and keep the lane brushes warded. Pyke is only a threat when he can single out and execute low HP targets, which your ult is an innate counter for. The matchup takes some practice, but once you have a few games vs Pyke under your belt, you win. Zhonya's is a really good buy here.”

Jesterbutt says “While being a great partner to Yuumi, Pyke is also one of the heaviest counters to her. It is very hard to save your ally when they are hooked, and his Death from Below can leave you vulnerable if he is able to ult before you're able to cast Zoomies. Due to Yuumi's low damage output, Pyke is able to often outheal her damage with his passive so it is a better choice to use your Prowling Projectile on the ADC. It is essential for you to escape his hook + stun combo or you will die.”

iNotSushi says “The main thing to know about engaging a pyke is to DODGE HIS E. If you dive and enemy pyke, he will more often than not look for a counter-engage if his ADC is in position. Be prepared to dodge his stun after he comes out of yours. Target him over enemy ADC, you need to delay his level 6 power spike as much as you can.
Side note: Your E will continue to take effect even if you are stunned, HOWEVER this only works if you case it before you get stunned. Cast your E if it appears you will not escape his stun. ”

netherlessss says “Pyke's Q can be canceled with your Tornado if you can react fast enough to knock up him. His E is too quick to cancel unless you launch it before he uses E. If he Does E you or a nearby ally, post 6, try to ult him away to prevent the stun.”
0
Dougaroo says “Pyke can be a killer if he catches you with the hook followed up by the stun. His stun range can be dodged if quick enough but will often still get you even if you think you made it out of it. To combat this just try to keep minions between you and him as well as play it safe if you're alone in lane. If your adc is around and he all ins you: simply fear him back towards you adc and get a free kill.”

TheBeardedPickle says “Most Pyke players tend to play overly aggressive and are constantly looking for pulls/engages. Most times, this results in not being able to play the poke-heavy, irritating play-style that we all love as Bard players. However, if you can play around Pykes cooldowns you can win this matchup. Take advantage of cooldowns, and aim to poke as frequently in-between as possible. This will make Pyke reluctant to engage, and in-turn apply pressure on the enemy matchup. ”

HoneyQT says “Pyke is a matchup you more often than not will win as you directly counter him, but that doesn't mean he won't destroy your ADC if he gets a lead. He can roam and while you can follow, he does have stealth and can turn on you and kill you. Play safely and you'll beat him.”

In order to get his stun off he has to dash through you, which makes him very vulnerable to [[polymorph]]. Your E, [[help, pix!]] does NOT do anything against Pyke's ult. If you are going to try and save someone while Pyke is ulting, use your ult because that actually gives them bonus max health to protect against his execute.”

OR you can E to reposition and turn the fight to your advantage. You are Pyke's nightmare. Every time he looks for a hook, he knows that if he lands on you, he could be shooting himself in the foot. As such, you can be the aggressor, jump onto either him or his ADC (preferably ADC of course) and you'll win. He is melee as well, so you won't be poked down (unless you count his Q as a poke). Easy lane.”

Zefirez says “I'll be frank - he is my ban. Pyke is disgusting with how he can escape punishement for misplays (camouflage, dash, passive) and for Pantheon it is nearly impossible to catch and kill him, unless adc contribues meaningful cc to lock him down.
And that's just Pyke alone. Let's not forget there's enemy adc in the mix. I personally never won vs a Pyke as Panthoen.
I can speculate that going aggressive on enemy adc, forcing pyke to use his skills to peel, rather then engage (and doing solid damage before he manages to peel you off) can help win the lane.
Still....vs Pyke Pantheon is just very ill equipped and does not bring things you need to send this zombie back to it's watery grave (heals for both self and ally, solid cc lockdown).
Ban this shit!”

FriendlyShaco says “Can tank your boxes, roams better and can hook your adc where you can't do much against it, can dodge your boxes with his camouflage and snowballs really good”

Beth_NHPS says “Ban him, his hook goes extremely far, and if you lose one fight to his ult, your team has lost.”

Defensivity1 says “You have no way to get away from pyke, even with exhaust he can kill you very early on as zilean is very squishy ”

Sona Aria says “Pyke is the only support that builds lethality. He is everything Sona doesn't want. He cannot be poked out due to passive, he has multiple forms of cc, he does plenty of burst damage on his own, his ultimate is a true damage execute, he roams early with high success, and he creates large gold leads and allows comebacks to happen. I personally permaban Pyke, but playing against him, i would keep vision control on the side bushes to delay his recovery from passive, and focus my poke on their ADC. Taking ignite allows you to potentially burst Pyke, as he shares this weakness with you.”

1OLAF3 says “It depends sometimes I can beat Pyke, but sometimes I can't”

Haezard01 says “A busted champion, if you don't kill him, he will restore all damage done to him. It will be difficult to land your W on him. Try to get your passive stacked up and land W's into the enemy ADC instead so that you can get that bonus health. If you see he engages with E, pop off with your R to get that bonus HP and life steal”

FigitSpinur says “EXTREME THREAT EARLY GAME
REMEMBER YOU ARE NOT ONLY A SUPPORT BUT ALSO A FULL AP MAGE”

SetsumiV1 says “Like blitzcrank, only his pick potential is insane, his ult can ignore your shields, but your own ult does counter his, because of the extra HP it gives, be careful for his level 2 spike”

Zona de sona says “Cuando me toca jugar contra pykes lo que hago esperar que falle Q para pokear al ser nivel 6 puede ayudarte que te jale con su Q ya que te va a acercar y tendras mejor posicion para aventar tu R ”
0
doubte says “this is by far bard's hardest match up. a good pyke can abuse you in all times of the game and make you feel useless. in this match up though, your window is lanning as you're looking to set the pyke behind. harass early and avoid hooks. stand between minions to dodge his skewer and wiggle in autos when his hook is on cool down. if you can, look for roams and avoid pyke in lane. if you don't feel confident in lane, starting coin would be most optimal as it allows you to get sight stone without having to trade. ”

Enrik says “Se ele te acertar o Q, provavelmente você vai morrer, então, cuidado com o posicionamento, tente baitar o Q dele, pra depois pokear.”

Saethwyr says “Pykes surprisingly easy to deal with, despite first appearances. the main trick to dealing with pyke is that he's entirely dependent on his ability to duck in and out of fights to stay alive. if you keep him stuck in long enough he's not going to be able to survive, Plus if he does a full engage he has no way to protect the adc from you just going on them and beating them up.”
0
z4ki says “Maybe his hook not long like Thresh/Blitz, but his damage on early game enough deal some damage when he reach level 2 with stun (this stun honestly too long in early game). Suggest for avoid combo Hook+Stun.”

Quiet Allure says “If you ever thought he was a threat before, wait until everyone starts calling him "support" again”

NirvanaBunny says “I'm ranking Pyke here because he's just a scary champion. While there are some good and bad Pykes, he can do STUPID damage if you don't keep him in check.”

Fyah v1 says “I call Pyke "The Support Muder" because her skills can pull you and your adc under him at the same time.
Pyke skills have lot of damage, soo you will be a "paper".”

DBtheKnight says “He is also very mobile and hard to pin down, you can focus him if and when he uses E to engage you. He's squishy.”
0
SawyerNelson says “Pyke has advantage of being able to approach for hooks in the stealth, but against most hook champs you want to be playing away from the minion wave as you can save your ADC if they get pulled, but can't save yourself. You can also negate his advantage by having a pushing lane.”
0
Vaxra says “ His Q will also end you, as the Q then E combo is one of the deadliest I've ever seen. With Electrocute, you'll be dead before you say SILENCE.”

Flames99Fuse says “If he kills your ADC with his ult, it won't take him much damage to put you into execute range.”

MightyPebble says “No matter how well you'll play Pyke is going to punish you so your only hope is for late game.”
0
unownreality says “Sona is squishy and Pyke is an assassin support. Try keeping vision on him, and if you notice that he is invisible, fall back. Just like blitz, you want to keep minions between you and him. His grey health will prevent you from doing permanant damage, so don't waste mana poking him down. Best bet here, is to bait hooks, and if you are hooked, use it to kill the ADC with an ultimate with follow up from the your team mate. ”

Kian987 says “There's nothing particularly wrong about Shen vs Pyke. The only problem is that he can snowball so you have to be very cautious.”

SawyerNelson says “Pyke is strong into Leona if you give him opportunities to land hooks. Which you never, ever have to. Leona is strong into Pyke because of the mixed damage you deal when engaging onto him, and the CC combo is just long enough to lock him down and kill him before he E's away. You can also counter his aggressive movements with a quick Q auto attack stun.”

N0ZOMI says “Pyke is something like Rakan, only i feel like Pyke never die thanks to his passive. He has high potential of bursting you down. Don't get hooked, when he miss hook there's your window to work with.”

1tephra1 says “I enjoy countering this champion. Matchup is pretty easy for you. The only problem is that pyke/thresh/blitz perma ban you. So don't expect to play this matchup. Worth a ban.”
0
xxMyDixieRektxx says “Your E doesn't matter to his ult. Try to bully him early game before 6, and enjoy the lead while you still can :( It'll be hard trying to eat him with his E up. Also he has that stupid camoflauge that easily outheals your grey health in early game.”
0
SawyerNelson says “Thresh beats Pyke very hard. You can cancel his hook with Flay or hook. You can interupt his E with Flay. If you catch him out with a hook and ignite he's probably dead. Pyke gains advantage in scattered fights and if Thresh loses control.”
0
Ooze OG says “Not really a threat until 6. (Just have to be conscious of your health, as his ult is a true execute). Similar to Blitz, if he pulls you, he's giving you a ticket to all in his carry.”
0
semisomniac says “Not only does he have a hook, but he also has a stun and camouflage... with an execute. It only gets harder and harder in this lane. Reminder: you can use your E to cancel the channel on his hook, so you've got to be really alert!”
0
Yukkine says “Father always said... Stand behind Rakan!.. Your goal here is to take every single threatening hook he ever tries! Why, you ask? Literally dash away to safety right after to find out!”

Tipsy32 says “your biggest threat in lane. Hard to pin down, so aim all your damage to their adc. Adc cannot help him because they are low, pyke's kill potential drops dramatically.”
0
TheLuluMain says “Your e will reveal him, so his w will be useless. Dodge the q or you are in trouble, Your ult can bait his r and prevent his resets so try doing this whenever possible. Your poke won't stick on him so go for his adc if possible.”
0
TheComicalBiker says “Pyke is unable to gain health from items due to his passive so he stays relatively squishy all game long. Protect teammates from his ultimate by applying CC. Stay cautious in lane as his pull (Q) stun (W) combo can cause a lot of damage.”
0
Dudstrol says “Pyke gira em torno de evitar ser puxado. Se for puxado ira morrer provavelmente, caso contrario vire nele, pois sem seu Q(Espeto de osso) ele fica bem fraco e vulnerável. ”

Rasta Da Masta says “Pyke can be challenging to lane against with his chargeable hook, camouflage speed, dashing stun, and execution ultimate. If you can, keep dealing damage to him to prevent grey health healing. And ping your ? if he goes MIA.”
0
LuxIsMyCrush says “pyke can be pretty busted sometimes, if the one playing him know what he's doing you will be in some trouble, but his ult is easy to predict most of times, so ult someone you are certain he will ult and boom, you stoped him and saved your ally, and probably will kill him too as he teleport to target if hit a champion with his R.”

R30p3r says “just freeze him and he will do nothing he's squishy and you're a tank ”

TenshiQwQ says “High damage, strong engage and sustain thanks to his passive. Really dangerous lane for squishy supports like Nami.”

TruMediaMix1 says “Pyke mostly deals Physical damage, but you can still block his hook using Black Shield, and you can greatly limit his mobility and dive potential using Dark Binding and Soul Shackles.”
0
Crippledtoot says “You can cancel his Q really easily and stop his E. Not that hard to face if you pay attention.”
0
Ijzumy says “Really hard to compete with because his R can make your ADC dissapear in 1 tone, playing safety is the best option for you.”
0
Jeroen R8 says “Pyke's ability to heal all the damage you just put on him simply by walking in the bush or going invisible is only one of the things that makes him a very big threat. He has very good pick potential so stay behind your minions. His ult adds a lot of extra damage to the fight so be ready to peel from his engage.”
0
SimonEagle says “On the one hand, when Pyke draws you, the Shield of Durand should be used.
But you need to be always ready for the Phantom Undertow.”
0
Ch33syB0y8 says “He counters you as he is an assassin, yet in lane you can put him behind with your superior poke.”
0
SirGerumon says “Pyke is an interesting one as depending on the play, Pyke can be countered or you will lose. Its all about guessing when you go to Q him, so think about this; how are you avoiding a Lux's Q”

ff20orfeeding says “Pyke is generally dangerous, but he is melee and has low health. Redemption and Athenes as well as wards are useful.”
0
LuxIsMyCrush says “you should won the lane as long as your adc dont have a delay reaction of 3 seconds.”
0
Udaa says “Pyke's hook is pretty easy to dodge as it has a loading time... put wards everywhere so he can't regen easily and poke him down.”
0
JohnGaltDestroyer says “Pulls are huge threats in any game, but specifically for Sona, she is neither tanky nor quick when attempting to escape a cc heavy enemy. the greatest counter to this is to remain behind minions and try to keep an 'X' made with your ADC's as the intersecting line, this makes sure that both you and your ADC won't get stunned with the same combo, as well as keeping you available to poke their ADC while your's dodges pyke.”
0
Vulpanium says “If you can dodge his hook dagger thing then you should be in decent shape but he's still a problem because of his ability to execute. ”
0
Saecriru says “Try not to get hooked, if you do it is very hard to get away from Pyke as Neeko since she doesn't have much mobility other than her W which gives her a slight burst of move speed.”
0
styllEE says “Fiddlesticks is good into Pyke as you can counter his engage with a single fear, also counter his hook with your E's silence”
0
NDarKnight says “same thing like with thresh and blitz, but you need to keep your W to protect your adc if he try to stun your adc.”

discoheat says “If he gets on you. Your lane is over. Try and keep a distance on him. Keep spamming W.”

Fynergy says “this match up is one of the worst for nami depending on skill level of the player. Best way to play against Pyke is to wait for his Q(hook) to be down and know if he has flash up to make a flash E(stun) play”

warpeace101 says “just wanted to add this guy, Q him when he is doing his Q because he is easy target and if he hits, he cant dash to you because he is snared but dont feed him or you'll be useless all game long”

DGNNYOmega says “Pyke's invisibility and movement speed make it hard to hit him with your charm. Its best to wait until he is charging his Q to charm him.”
0
weinerman says “hah, pathetic, spell shield his hook when he hooks and spell shield his stun if he goes for it. it most situations he won't be able to use both consecutively (because if he cant land hook he won't be in range to stun). if he is close enough for both though, it might be a good idea to only spell shield his stun. one issue is if you're in an extended fight with him you would have probably popped spell shield early and he can ult ur poor, poor, poor anus. don't worry though he's probably already dead.”
0
cilium says “- You want Aftershock vs him and Q the enemy ADC (if possible) immediately after you get hooked or stunned by his E so you get the extra resistances. If not in range, you can of course go for Pyke.
After his CC wears out you want to start draining with your W like with Leona.”

devanj4 says “Pyke can match your roams and really mess you up if you get hooked.”

the_dark_D says “Pyke is just hell for all low hp supports i recommend banning him.”

TSMSky says “If you interrupt his stun with your Q, it should be an easy lane. Q is very telegraphed. Keep the bushes warded and you'll probably come out ahead.”
0
exthreshmain says “Actually go next, super hard to lane against, roam and help other lanes rather than being in bot if your adc allows. Do everything you can to hold him away from you and your adc. Should be your no. 1 ban.”
0
SpicySkelleton says “His Q and E combo is hard to out maneuver as a low level blitz. try to avoid being in his range as much as you can or at least block his q to save your degenerate adc that think they're instantly invincible no matter how weak and pathetic they start out to be. that or you could always ban him.”
0
Lonxu says “I think he is more dangerous than the other hook-champions just because he has the mobility and invisibility for surprise factor. Also he has that regeneration.
Not to mention the burst from ult.
But even then, the few Pykes I've played against weren't so good, so he might be more dangerous played as solo lane than a support? ”
0
SawyerNelson says “Rakan can deal with Pyke very well. Rakan's Q poke is very good against Pyke in lane. You can dodge his abilities with both dashes, and Rakan ULT lets you catch him and and burst him down very quickly before he can E away.”

revelador says “solo esquiva su q y listo tiene muy poca vida y lo bajas raido si esta en campo de visión, SIEMPRE compra centinelas y debería acabar facil”
0
Person6 says “I find Pyke a very easy opponent, as his advances are easily dodgable, and you can predict him when he goes under and put a trap/spear in his way. He hasn't enough resistance to sustain against your burst output + your bot laners. Remember to watch when he tries to ult, and deny him by healing his target ;P”
0
Saeh says “Be careful for his Hooks, at lvl 9 his Q and E will be on an 8 and 15 second cooldown respectively. If you get hooked, or your adc gets hooked, throw your silence on top of pyke so he cant CC them.”
0
BreathlesSx says “Hmm Pyke. Where should I start... Hook, dash, stun, invisibility of some kind and an execute...... Should I really explain why he is an extreme thread for a squishy?”
0
nicko9090 says “Pyke is fairly easy to deal with as you can basically lock him down as soon he try to Q your carry and make it impossible for him to do his job properly. If he try to W away, Zenith+Shield of daybreak and Solar Blade so your carry can melt him before he recover. Be careful of his ultimate as it can be game changing when you get low.”
0
Jorcat says “Dont let pyke hide in bushes to heal, if he walks into the bushes walk up. Unless the minion wave supports him.”
0
Haytham says “The hardest matchup for Xayah is a botlane with Pyke support. Pyke can get you out of position and keep you there with chain CC. I find it best to just play under tower or behind multple creeps when laning against Pyke.”
