Tips Against Pyke as a Support Tips Provided by MOBAFire Guide Authors
sock217 says “Kills you lvl 1 and shuts down the fact that you are tanky. You can bait out his ult with your E, though. Unlike Urgot's ult, its not a recast so if you react quick enough you can waste his ult.”
0
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.”

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”

beefyylol says “Dodge his hook and you will be fine. Be careful of his level 1 or 2 E flash engage. As long as he doesn't get a lot of ult resets you will outscale. ”
0
pHreekaz says “This can go 2 ways. You destroy him or he destroys you. try to do the first.
Care for his camouflage > Hook > Stun combo. keep moving and look for the sharks around you. a good thing to know is when he wants to hook you his movement speeds lowers you might as well grap him?”
0
Gary Snail says “Don't get hooked, but easy to dodge and play around”
0
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”
0
Clasheer says “You can dodge his abilities easily but watch out for his damage, and also he cand dodge your Q!”
0
KalelPeique says “Ladrão que rouba ladrão tem 100 anos de perdão.
Evita tomar todas as skills do pyke, se ele te puxar, use seu Q no minion mais proximo pra sair do E ou do R dele, evite ficar nas paredes, isso pode te atrapalhar.
_______________________________________________
Avoid taking all the pyke's skills, if he pulls you, use your Q on the nearest minion to get out of his E or R, avoid being on the walls, this can hinder you.

TheAngryJacket says “There are few things as satisfying as using your ult to stop pyke from getting resets on his, e'ing whoever gets pulled should allow them to avoid getting stunned, very squishy, dont forget bombs give vision in bushes”

Harry132 says “Hook champs are very hard to deal with early with this build
What you can do to play around this is play around the wave and be on the opposite side of him”

The Wands says “as well as Pantheon, but easier to deal with, and fragile, if he tries to start it can return damage to him, and turn on the enemy adcarry.”

HypoTheAced says “An assasin support that can execute below certain HP? Against this matchup only option is to avoid bushes and never overstep.”

Lee McGee says “Get your dancing shoes on because you gotta side step this shit. Not only will he hook you, jump on you, and kill you. But he'll regen 60% of the damage you do to him.”

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. Aun así depende de que adc lleve cada uno, el ignite no será tu única opción. ”
0
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. Stay away from his E range and be ready to flash his E > Flash combo. Roams a lot, should be easy to follow him. Or roam yourself and pray your adc sits under tower and waits.”
0
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. ”

Kakayama says “His passive can outheal your poke, and like any other immobile squishy, watch out for the hook and/or stun.”

beeinthefranxx says “pls this mf can rot literally the worst to play against. if you feel comfortable playing against blitz then pyke is a MUST BAN. he will fuq u up in lane unless he sucks BIG time”

Luminescape says “Play safe, build relic and be ready to silence him if he jumps onto your adc. You can cuck him from his ult with a well timed R. Rushing tier 2 boots isnt a bad idea”
0
Gobomo says “Rush Dead Man's Plate and sometimes you may even want to build Steelcaps instead of Mobis/Merc Treads/Sorcs simply because lethality is much, much worse versus targets with high armor. If you're laning Pyke, you're pretty much forced to build tanky. ”
0
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.”

SimplehPari says “Zoe is extremely squishy and lacks peel for ADC's so most hook characters pose a big threat to both you and your ADC.”
0
Petra Venj says “Guardian + Bone Plating. He's weak at level 1 but he shines at level 2 and 6. Counter his R with yours and do behind minions. If he approaches use your E if you know he will hit the hook, that way he's rooted.”
0
Terroronyou says “Hard Engage is very difficult for Senna. Your best bet is to harrass FROM LEVEL 1. Before they get their full engage online (lv2/3).
Whenever Pyke's Hook is on cooldown (~10s cooldown). Go in and harass as much as you can!”

Mooncurve says “if you get skewered, you most likely will lose the fight (it depends on ad match up too). Proc aftershock before he stuns you. You can insta kill him too with your combo. Even match up I'd say.”

yaemitskiuwu says “Good Pykes will cheese you level one an advance ward is necessary. He's on Extreme because he is an assassin too. Has high one shot potential and can build items that ignores your shield”

wheelshoe says “do NOT let him skewer you. if you see him channeling, hop on your adc asap! keep your adc healed up once pyke has reached level 6; if he ults your adc and kills them, you're next.”

DustRose says “Those hooks are deadly, especially for an immobile champ like you”

BlakeXStrider says “Similar to Blitzcrank, if you try to zone a Pyke you will be hooked under turret. If you manage to dodge the hook though, you can safely go for an extended trade or even an all in.”

Mr buckets says “ It's a skill matchup you outscale so even if you only go even or even a bit behind during early game it won’t matter, as Pyke is a terrible champion currently and can't teamfight compared to Bard.”
0
Goldenstinger says “Pain in the ass - dont bother ulting him unless the person piloting him is really bad. Too slippery at the moment. Aim for other prio targets and ping roams”
0
Dotje says “The hardest matchup for this fish is probably the fisherman. He’s hard to catch up on and hard to poke down because of his passive healing. Luckily, a lot of people are not that good on Pyke. Try and harass him whenever his hook is down and don’t be afraid to try and kill him, because of his passive he won’t gain bonus HP and will be fairly squishy. Bring control wards to reveal his invisibility when needed.”
0
Daromius says “For laning, dance around minions to dodge his hook, get zhonyas to counter his ult.”
0
eiensiei says “Stick to poking his laner rather than poking him, since he heals a lot of it back up. Try to keep the wave locked outside your tower. If you crashed the wave into their tower, do not try to autoattack the tower for Spellthief stacks, he can easily hook you in. You can get hit by his Q, but dodge his E at all costs.”
0
Doglightning says “run ele or guardian. At first I thought pyke was a hard counter but now I think its even so I placed him in major. bully him hard pre lvl 3 but at 3 be careful. hide behind minions and counter engage when he goes in as he dies very fast. you can block max range hooks with your w.”

PicklePantsLOL says “Threat descriptions are down below. Please scroll! :) ”

Twisted Tea Fate says “Dodge his hook and side-step his E (it's a lot easier than you think). During every trade, focus the enemy carry, because Pyke has infinite sustain with W and can easily back off with his E.”
0
Doglightning says “take barrier. Pyke is actually really squsihy. Because of his passive it hard to poke him out but if plays over aggro and you land a bubble you can 100-0 him. play behind minions and Q auto poke.”
0
Mystral says “Pyke is dangerous if you don't know how to play against him. 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. Your ult can counter him, because he executes low health champs while you give them health. Try to build more health as possible and poke him in lane everytime he gets close.”
0
Aerenax says “Pyke is an easy matchup as you can match his mobility. Same as for Blitzcrank, if your ADC gets pulled in follow him and look for a counter engage.”
0
eiensiei says “You can polymorph him when he charges up his hook. You usually win trades just because Guardian is really strong against him. Relic match-up, but can also go for Spellthief if you're feeling confident. If he's already hit Q/E on you or your ADC, just polymorph the enemy ADC instead of him.”
0
LimTheDestructor says “Focus Pyke's adc. Protect your adc from being pulled by Pyke. Ping your midlaner when Pyke is missing. Don't feed Pyke in early game and he becomes pretty useless.”
0
warmfishu says “He can reset your W with Bone Skewer (Q) or Phantom Undertow (E) in addition to going invisible, so be careful. If you and a teammate are low health, he will almost certainly execute you both given the chance.”
0
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.”

freddy66623 says “I hope you're sensing a pattern here. Don't get caught out while you try to proc your passive. ”

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
SAGA MODE says “It's a skill matchup!
Playing against Pyke is very hard if you get hooked or hitten by the E you will die unless u have flash up.
Pyke and Thresh are the biggest counters of Bard. (very hard to out roam Pyke)
”

lin00 says “Thresh can inturrpte him as he charged his Q up with Flay or Hook. Flay is more instant. He is extremely squishy and easy kill once locked down due to his inability to purchase more HP.”
0
TheImmortalEye says “ similar to thresh but cant be poked , but hook is easy to predict”
0
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.”
0
MsBean says “Most fun thing to do is to E pyke when he's charging his hook, when he goes into a bush or a hidden area try to predict where he's about to go and E him. But make sure to not get hooked and stunned as it's almost guaranteed you'll die unless you ult yourself or get saved. Pyke is quite simple to counter once you've been against him 100 times. Play safe, E him. Happy days.”
0
Eforie says “Dont treat him its ez to play vs. Just try to play safe. And if u hook him use ur e when fast to counter his e and he dosent have any dash to use to escape. Try to hook enemy adc and protect ur adc in the same time”

CorgiBorgi says “I HATE HIS MAN. You can't stop any of his damage, but you can stop his CC. try and keep him away from your adc, and keep up with his roaming.”

Flackojodye says “A good pyke will never lose to you. Play safe, and ping when he goes missing so your team doesn't int him.
If he doesnt get fed/roams effectively, he's useless. ”

ThisGuyPaco says “Pyke, Blitzcrank and Thresh can be scary if they focus you. If they hook your ADC you can use your full combo on them and mostly win the fight, if they hook you and burst you a fight mostly is lost if your adc plays it bad”

SlippStream says “You can outdamage him at range and poke from outside his Q range. Don't let him get close to you or your ADC and you'll be fine.”
0
Hanjaro says “Much like most enchanters, Janna is squishy, so an all-in hook lane can be scary. Fortunately they rely on hitting their hooks, and they're always melee! Watch your positioning, one misstep can certainly end up in death.”
0
0Banda says “ Pyke as a hook champion is really easy to counter, mainly because of all the amount of dashes you have, save your W and E cooldowns on dodging Pyke's Q and E and be aware of Pyke invisibility with his W when you get level 6 dont risk too much playing at low health because he can execute you with his R
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”
0
Arcurath says “This matchup can be very hard if its a good Pyke player, he can abuse you early on. If you get hit by hook in early levels youre just instantly dead. Play safe until level 6 then you just counter him as long as you ult his ult.
He can roam a lot better than you and impact other lanes so punish adc or try match roams.”
0
Hanjaro says “Like other immobile, squishy mages, Xerath is no exception to being scared of hook champions. Dodge their abilities, and try to abuse your long range. Only go for engages when their abilities are on CD.
Pyke can heal up a lot of your poke and go stealth, along with engaging with his stun.”
0
Idleangelo says “Cancel his hook with your poly, Time your ult with his ult so that he cant get a reset”

bobsalad says “Heals your poke and has good all in with Hail of Blades. Stay behind minions. Your w can reveal him in his w.”
0
Luiscencias says “Ah yes. another squishy killing pull support. Well, you can't ban both him and nautilus, so just R E S P E C T H I M. If you fall behind against this guy he will make your lane phase MISERABLE, so even if it's boring just q poke without autoattacks and keep yourself and your adc out of trouble until level 6. Lategame with Zhonyas and because you are sona you will win most teamfights so just hold on tight until after laning phase.”
0
Hanjaro says “Yuumi is extremely weak when it comes to all-in engage, she hasn't got much peel and if she detaches, she will be bursted down - it's very hard for her to keep her ADC alive when she gets engaged on.
Bone skewer can pull her out mid dash, incurring a cooldown on her W and resulting in her death. Pyke's ultimate can one shot yuumi from mostly full health!”
0
lenithebot says “If you can r his stun then engage or get a really nice engage you win this matchup. If you get hooked then go for and engage by cleansing his stun if you are not level 6 and he is also not you should win the all in just target the adc if he's not fed early he becomes pretty useless.”
0
AlysseaFaceUp says “Ok, right here we have a problem.
He hasn't got more range than you, but you'll have to max your W for Damaging him on Time, he has a really good engage and disengage, so you're not going to be able to burst him.
He's going to dodge almost each one of your skills so, try to engage him when he's without his W.”

millysenpai says “Pyke will try to hook you and try to root afterwards, make sure you silence with Soraka so he would not be able to. ”
0
Fear The Jester says “Easy lane till he gets prowlers, boxblock all his hooks, save your Q for his stun, try make him flash stun you with a box behind you to ruin it. bait his ult with yours.”
0
SorakaMainsDiscord says “Pyke is an extreme treat due to his heavy engage and displacement abilities and his ultimate that can execute you. Luckily for you, you can poke Pyke with your E to stop his hook channel making it go on cooldown and disabling his engage for a brief moment. Useful for running away too. Be warned however as this is almost always a gamble and you will usually cancel it ~70% of the time. High risk, High reward.”
0
Amphawn says “Pyke isn't as bad as thresh, blitz, or naut, but he still does have a hook and really good engage. Try to dodge his stun if you get hooked or stun him in return.”
0
Jowoey says “This champion isn't very good. Respect his level 2 but then be very aggressive and utilize bushes or minions when he wastes his Q or E. Redemption is not a bad item against him to help negate his execute damage in fights. Your ult is also good for that.”
0
Deathbat1 says “Pyke can full you close leaving your stuns only helpful to try and get away he can also snowball easily and kill you with his ult even easier.”

ZabbaAA says “annoying but you can easily counter him if you time your w right”

RyVador says “Hard for ADC to play against since they're basically 1v2ing”
0
Thats Piccioni says “I'm sorry, but learn to dodge hooks. Sidestep, not backwards! Your W (Shield) gives a little movespeed, so use this if you are badly positioned and need a little help dodging. Ofc, if you're having more problems, rush boots. This applies to all hook champs.”
0
Melyn says “Max Q, try to block his hook with EW, and be very careful about his dash-flash stun combo. He will roam a lot and has good gank assist, so this is a very hard matchup. Try to poke him out and punish his ADC when he's gone, paying attention to when he'll be back. Don't commit too hard on him as he is mobile and has sustain.”
0
Hanjaro says “Like other immobile, squishy mages, Velkoz is no exception to being scared of hook champions. Dodge their abilities, and try to abuse your long range. Only go for engages when their abilities are on CD. Pyke can heal up a lot of your poke damage, and his ult can kill you from higher health than you think. Be careful of his stealth engages.”
0
Hanjaro says “Like all squishy enchanters, hook champions are very scary. You have a good disengage with your silence and slow, but you're still very susceptible to burst. Dodge their hooks, poke when on CD! Pyke heals any damage you do, and he can still engage with his stun. Best to play passive and wait for a gank.”

GN_Duck LoL says “Galio is a massive counter to Pyke with his ability to nullify Pykes Q. Additionally, Galio can implement an hourglass into his build which is ideal. ”
0
Biotic says “Pyke used to be the worst Matchups for Zilean but he was just in a horrible spot in Season 10. Now that he has good Items again its reaaaly unplayable. He outscales you and wins Lane and is very hard to gank due to his spellkit. He is better in Roaming and skirmishes. I personally ban Thresh and Dodge if they play Pyke. CAN depend on elo aswell in lower elos it might be playable since Pyke has a huge Skillcap. ”
0
Hanjaro says “As per usual, squishy enchanters vs hook champions is just a scary lane match to be in. Poke when their hook is on CD, be careful of a flash engage, don't get too close. Pyke will heal most damage you do, so best to play passive as if you get caught by a stun, even without a hook, you're dead.”

KillMeKillMe says “If he gets his pull on you and his adc actually follows up they can pretty much just kill you.”

King Crow says “Your Fear and Silence mess him up too much for him to operate. Fiddlesticks is the anti-assassin.”

Lugos says “He might be dangerous if you are using your E recklessly.
Save your E for the times he wants to hook you. You can rip his Q animation with silence. From then he is kinda useless.”

DeusSciMachina says “If you get hooked, flash immediately or move out of e dash. Then counter with stun combo.”

cozymoonzz says “use your E when he is casting his Q but flash his stun, because if he hits that you're probably dead. ”

LIGHTBULB NA says “Extremely hard to deal with in lane. If he ever engages you just have to run and hopefully dodge the hook. If you manage to time your R with his R, you can make him pretty useless in teamfights because his R cooldown will not reset”

Rayzer74jr says “This guy again with the pulls, also his large amount of ms when he wants and he dodges, this guy is the perfect counter to Aatrox support, if he picks first, just go Leona its too easy to win against him as a more tank focused support.”

Skyzinho1775 says “I really hate this champion, just because of his E, u are gonna have a bad time trying to hit ur W on Pyke.

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.”
0
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.”
0
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.”
0
LilPaniniUwU says “take barrier. Pyke is actually really squsihy. Because of his passive it hard to poke him out but if plays over aggro and you land a bubble you can 100-0 him. play behind minions and Q auto poke.
”

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.”

Go Getter says “So atrociously annoying to fight against, he will capitalize on the fact you can't block anything he does and he gets away 90% of the time if he has his dash ready.
His cloak is also makes him really annoying and can catch your ADC off guard, if he catches you early game it's probably gonna result in a death.

Hanjaro says “Like all squishy, immobile mages, hook champions are your worst nightmare. Try to dodge their abilities and poke when they're on cooldown.
Pyke can negate a lot of your damage due to his health regen, and even if he misses his hook he can still kill you with a stun ult combo if his ADC has the damage to bring you down low enough.”
0
Vispectra says “Does a lot of damn damage and remains a threat for a long ass time in the game. He can kill you in lane but you can sort of cheese the Q by hiding among your minions to abuse Kassadin Passive. You probably won't kill him in lane that's for sure and later one you have to R proactively since his execute will follow you through R.”

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. (this message was brought to you by the president of the pyke hate fanclub)”

SupportTooEz says “Pyke is a bit of a wild card, on one hand you can heal his ult and make it useless, but on the other hand, he can screw you up with one engage. Play this match up to scale, unless you have an early game champ like draven, then play for poke. 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.”

ayoshe says “Pyke's aggressive kit counters Senna and laning can be pretty difficult. He has lots of mobility, a hook, and heals pretty quickly with his passive even if you win a trade seconds prior. A Guardian Angel might be helpful later on, but try to abuse your range by poking and punishing when he misses his combo. Buy Executioner's Calling early on to counter his passive.”

terrybogar1 says “Pyke is very hard to deal with if he is hitting his hooks, like with thresh and blitz. Unlike those two, Pyke can output massive damage on you and ult you, killing you at 20% health. He also has no health, so if you can catch the slippery bastard he is done for.”

Esoterica says “Pyke poses almost no threat to LeBlanc as his abilities are all telegraphed and easily responded to. Poke him or his ADC proactively and return to safety with W. He also cannot stop you from trying to snare with chain, as you have ample time to blink back.
Post-6, be aware of how much damage you are taking and save Distortion or blink for his ultimate. Flash in a cardinal direction so that the arms of the 'X' do not catch you.”

DamselOfDistress says “A good Pyke will give you trouble! Beware of his R in teamfights. Always buy zhonyas against him. Pyke punishes overconfidence. Your Q cancels his entire E engage.”

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.”

KeleiX13 says “Keep a control ward in lane towards your side for him and keep the brushes warded. 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.”
0
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.”

Starchase says “You can detach whenever you want to poke pyke, even if is the best Pyke in the world, his animations are so slow that you can just W to safety if he tries to cc you.
Tell your ADC to position behind the minion wave to block the hook.
Care about his R execution, you can however outplay it using your E or Heal to heal your ADC just enough so Pyke can't execute him.
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.”

AriyaIsTheBest says “This is not a support. This is an assassin. Pyke slams on squishies, and you're a squishy. A must-ban champion. Be wary of bushes, and stay close to minions. Poke when possible. Try not to engage him when he has ult. You can use Oracle Lens to locate him when he uses W nearby you.

Luckily for you, you can poke Pyke with your E to stop his hook channel making it go on cooldown and disabling his engage for a brief moment. Useful for running away too. Be warned however as this is almost always a gamble and you will usually cancel it ~70% of the time. High risk, High reward.”

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.

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.

Very important to have ignite up as well to lower his healing.”

CanadaJay says “His hook and stun are awful to fight against, and he can do so much damage with his entire kit.

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. ”

Mhixy says “His strong laning phase makes it hard for you to engage, his ulti is strong before you can get some health going, as long as he hits his skillshots you should be dead, his ulti ignores your barrier shield and even if you stomp in-lane the fact you cant really chase him and he can still execute you is very annoying. 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. He got some Healing, and his R is an other Dash along with extra Gold. But when you start getting items the only thing he can do is try to set his Team up to try and kill you. So you got to do it better.”

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. He is stronger than you in lane too, so you can't make many plays until 6. Watch out for him early on, be wary of his damage and you should be ok. 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.”
0
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.”

Vahlok says “He has a similar playstyle, but he should be aggressive instead of protecting his allies. Use that to stay calm and punishing his mistakes. You can stop his Q cast with your own Q and E. You can move his E path with your skills, so he can fail the stun.”

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.”

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.”

rquoe says “Not only is his hook dangerous, but you won't be able to punish him if he misses because he's extremely mobile. He builds Umbral Glaive first item, so warding against him is also hard.

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.”

Gravixx says “If he hooks you or your adc, shield whoever got hooked and [[polymorph]] their adc. 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.”

GoBucket says “The hell is he going to do? Hook you? Block his hook for your ADC and you win the lane. It is that simple. If he hooks you, you can E out to safety if you are not looking to fight. 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.”

Zer0XM says “Pyke while considered to be the best melee support in the game isn't actually a problem for a Naut, you can hook him out of his W and cancel his hook with yours.

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!”

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.”

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. ”

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.”

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.”

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.”

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.”

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.

Tips Against Pyke in Middle Lane Tips Provided by MOBAFire Guide Authors
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”

ThePieBeam says “Pyke is a pretty bad matchup because of his Q and E. Both of which are really good into Anivia. If he's out of lane and you hear the *fwumble* water sound just go to turret. 5 cs is not worth your life. Also, if you see him start to charge his hook, chuck at Q and dodge left or right. He'll be forced to either hard engage or run off, both of which are favorable should he miss his Q.”

TcKatfish says “[Press The Attack Runes / Long Sword and Refillable Pots start.] Bully Pyke for trying to farm whenever you can. Be careful of being hooked. His damage can be fatal if you get hooked by one. A lot of Pykes into this matchup will take double armor runes which will give him 50+ armor. He becomes extremely hard to kill and needs multiple rotations. Keep bullying and shove him in so he can't roam for free. Look to make plays with your jungler because you should win the 2v2 in most situations. ”

lonestar1870 says “Care for his E->Prowlers stun, he can stun & 1 shot deceptively fast.
Focus on getting all the farm and denying him as much as possible.
Hard to kill him but you shouldn't really ever die in the laning. You can kill him with a 6 ball ultimate, but he will W and heal his grey health back if you don't kill him immediately.
Try to keep prio so he can't roam, but make sure to ward. Simliar to Kat, freezing won't do much cause Pyke doesn't care for laning anyway, he'll sack multiple waves for coinflip roams.
Be careful following his roam since he can oneshot you in the river.
You can go for any runes you want, but I prefer electrocute for more damage.
Ignite is nice for better kill threat, but you can take TP to follow his roams more safely.
Zhonyas 2nd/3rd unless really far ahead so you can dodge his ultimate.”

IAmMakattack says “If you can poke Pyke down, they won't be able to engage safely. Stand behind your minions to prevent getting hooked. If your ADC gets caught, use Defiance (RE) and Focused Resolve (W) on their ADC to prevent them from moving.”

livikattt says “Does a lot of damage and can get into and out of fights like you can, but with invisibility, regen, and a shorter cooldown. Really annoying whether he's the enemy mid or support.”

WayOfTheTempesst says “Used to be annoying but not even sure if he can be played mid after nerfs. Can Windwall the phantom of his E to avoid the stun and his Q if he charges it up, easy lane just annoying bc killing him is near impossible if he is playing safe. His best play is just to roam around the map so try to keep wards up and ping his roams out for your team.”
0
Katawina52 says “Care for his level 1 cheese when he has hail of blades. He will most likely start E and remove 50+% hp from you lvl 1. This lane probably has the least action thanks to pyke wanting to perma roam 24/7, but you for sure have the upperhand in lane and should take advantage of it by going for trades. Never E into a pyke so you can't be vurneble to his E/Q CC. Just E in on Q dagger and W then E out again.”
0
LunarVortex says “He doesn't have much kill potential on you if you don't mess up your spellshield. You can kill him rather easily while his E is on cooldown. He will most likely just leave you alone and roam botlane over and over again, keep a Control Ward in the river at all times. Buy an early Seeker's Armguard if necessary.”

The Jhin Cena says “Take the Fleet Footwork Scaling Runes or the Fleet Footwork Laning Runes with Bone Plating + Unflinching. You can also consider taking Teleport especially if your team doesn't have Teleport and/or if the enemy team doesn't have much wave clear. Pyke mid, after having received his 11.5 nerfs, is overall not much of a threat and you will rarely ever see him. Unless the enemy jungler is snowballing, this will be a very easy lane for you. Pyke mid lacks any sort of wave clear as well as a way to safely farm, so throughout the laning phase you can frequently harass Pyke whenever he walks up to farm so that you can deny him as much farm as possible. Do be a little cautious at level 1 though, as Pyke's Q does more damage than your Q, so normally you will want to poke with W > Q level 2+. Pyke mids however generally don't get fed off of CS, but try and snowball with post 6 roams. With that being said, once Pyke hits level 6 you should start fast pushing the wave repeatedly to put pressure on Pyke so that if he does decide to roam, he will lose a lot of farm and his turret will constantly be under assault. The only time Pyke mid will really be a threat is if your team is stupid and ignores your pings, or if the enemy jungler is strong and can exploit your fast pushes by ganking you. Since Pyke can fake roam with his W, I'd recommend warding somewhere in the middle between Mid and Top/Bot so you can see where Pyke is roaming once his W wears off. Don't expect to get fed off of Pyke in this lane, but rather to get fed off of CS. In the mid to late game, you can also consider exploiting Pyke's lack of wave clear by split pushing, which is why Teleport may be useful to take. I'd recommend using your E sparingly since good Pyke players will look to engage once your E is down. It is best to only use your E safely, such as to dodge a charged Q hook, his E, or his ultimate. If Pyke's E is down however, then you can look to finish him off with a classic E engage. A good time to ult is right as Pyke is using his E, since it will pretty much guarantee your ultimate will hit unless he flashes or uses Prowler's Claw.”

0
PASS10NE says “Pyke mid is strong lvl 1, so do not approach him lvl 1. Some Pyke mids start E then hit you with his hail of blades, so he might win trades sometimes. Stay behind minions to avoid his Q. Pyke will also be ahead of you despite being behind in cs thanks to his R, so you'll have to shove roam this lane because you have better wave clear than Pyke. Ping your laners when Pyke is missing.”

BigBushMan says “This matchup used to be a 4, due to Pykes infinite sustain in lane, but with recent nerfs and changes to his solo laning, he is not really a problem anymore. Just E when he E's, and you should be golden. Just don't think you're safe if you are out anywhere on the map with less than 40% HP.
He Knows.”

Do1HaveTh3Sauce says “Pyke Mid is surprisingly strong in solo queue right now. You should win against a Pyke pre-6, especially if you get a few ganks, but his level 6 powerspike is immense. Since you are so squishy, it makes you an easy target for his Ultimate.”

BigFatCat909 says “I personally hate this matchup. You could take Hail of Blades just to match his auto attack trades in the laning phase or just play extremely safe. Make sure to not use your W and R to dodge his abilities unless you're reacting to them as he can hold them for some time, especially his Q, wait for it to be thrown.”

Hiimkata says “Dodge her Q :). You can poke her out easly with the harass combo (2nd tip). You make it easier for yourself if you do the combo inside a minion wave or between so she cant hit her Q as easly. Also mercs is extremely good vs morg if they have other cc champs.”

wildersovereign says “Unlike most AD assassins, Pyke relies pretty heavily on CC to get kills, which is perfect for you if you use your E wisely. However, he can take advantage of your E's cooldown if he baits it out of you, so make sure you don't waste it and try to dodge his abilities when possible. Like other assassins, make sure you ping missing when he disappears. His roams can be quite deadly due to his invisibility and CC. Even following him can be difficult since he gets extra movement speed with his W. Overall, he poses more of a threat to your allies than to you, so play around him accordingly.”

lkycch says “Literally impossible to stun with Q+W+Q as he has too many opportunities to dodge things. It's true that your ult can negate his one, but his roaming potential is too strong for Zilean to deal with. It's important to bully Pyke in the laning phase and shutting him down early will help you win the game. However, Zilean just isn't that great for bullying as he only has one damage ability. Overall, Zilean isn't a strong laner but shines in teamfighting, so call for ganks and use your jungler to shut down Pyke.”

Tortoise_Maniac says “- Very slippery, hard to kill unless he goes on you with his E
- Use your E to dodge his by going behind him with your initial dash backwards.
- Early seekers armguard makes it impossible for you to lose trades
- You significantly outwaveclear pyke so shove him undertower while trying to poke him
- you outscale pyke so keep him under tower and don't let him roam
- Match his roams with your R and he doesn't get to snowball”

OxiteoMyst says “Late game you actually one shot him. One E and Q then hes gone. Freeze the wave and make sure to ping when he is missing. Build a slowpush. If he goes to roam crash the wave into his tower. He actually beats you early if you dont be careful, stay behind minions and dont get q'ed. He is good at setting up ganks if you're overextending.”

WolfRider01 says “Pyke mid is a skill matchup. A good pyke mid will know how to play against you, he will bait your W. Your W blocks both his E and his Q. You may want to take heal into him in the mid lane to counter his R (This is the only matchup I'd recommend heal into). Pyke's level 2, 3 and 6 all in potential is insane. He can even run you down if he takes E level 1. Be mindful of how he plays, he will likely be passive then suddenly strike, catching you off guard.”

SirGobogi says “Pyke like panth will murder you. Stay under turret and poke. Do not get pulled cause you will insta die. but if you can dodge well you will win lane. especially after level six you can bait out his abilities and all in. Watch out for pyke ult.”
0
Fadedreformed says “Take sword trades with your autpo+ w q/e to win them. If you see him trying to q you can q before he lands a hook so it gets canceled. Try juking his e or leaping away from it since he can chunk quite a bit of your hp”
0
DaggerTV_ says “Pyke is an easy matchup, you can doge the e by dashing infrom of him, be wary of his ult since you dont build hp. But is should be fairly easy, make sure to ping and to deal burst of damages.”
0
fwii says “Pyke has insane base Armor at level 1 so poke him but don't commit for trades close to his tower. Avoid his Q and E engage; use Flash to dodge his stun in a 1v1 or you will die. ”
0
vuty2002 says “Pyke + Hail of Blades can deal massive damage when he is close to you.
When he is lv 6, don't let your health below 40%”
0
Zak247 says “Hard cc is one of luxes hardest counters andd this guy gives out a lot of if and dont forget about his R execute”
0
RikudouDovahkiin says “Not much to say there, stay behind minions, dodge his Q, E, avoid getting in his auto-attack range, unless u burst him down, he can easily mitigate poking, through his strong HP regen.
LOREM IPSUM DOLOR SIT AMET.”
0
Nooldles says “Just like Swain and Malphite, Pyke R is top 3 ultimate to steal hands down. Not much to explain here, but Pyke R is just a game changer. If it is to secure a kill and add that much more kill threat onto you. If it is used as a comeback mechanic where you can get double the amount of gold for each kill. Pyke R is just beautiful.”
0
Brentonlop says “You can win trades as long as you dodge his E stun.”
0
Zoe Sparklepop says “High Minor
You can't really keep him behind the entire game but you do win this lane through and through
Problem is his roams at 6 are super strong and you make one slip up and he's back in the game with extra gold
You can just his ult fairly easily with your E speed though”
0
maxtenj says “Pyke can be hard if he out roams you. It is tricky to ult him with his high mobility but you outscale him and can stack armor to negate his damage.”
0
snukumz says “Don't get hooked and you'll be fine, but if you get hooked you're screwed.
Try to push waves and keep him from roaming. ”
0
1256 says “dont get hit by q+e, dont get cheesed, ping roams and ez matchup, pyke doesnt scale at all, if he gets 2 kills on bot it gets way scarier though
fleet+dom/res, electro if confident”
0
manipulativexd says “He outroams you in early game, winning roams with his ult on 6. Freeze your wave under tower. If he stuns you with E, you are dead.”
0
Papapostolou says “This guys with his hail of blades is so unbalanced, try to wait for late and ALWAYS say SS because he is gonna roam so hard. You should just farm
”

Fhizzikx says “Don't get in his e range or else you're probably dead.”
0
BigBushMan says “Despite his season 9 nerfs that were targeted to solo lane pyke, he still exists, and is VERY strong. Poke him out pre-6 but after that, stay away. No matter how far behind he is he can still one shot you with his basic combo. (E, flash, Q, Ignite, Auto, R). Same as Akali, freeze, ask for jungle help and take Exhaust.”
0
serruh says “if you lose lane, this champion will never be the reason. it will either be because his jg+support came or he got some random roam off while 60 cs behind and is now suddenly ahead of you. wouldnt worry too much, if the enemy isnt skilled and cant close out the game, this champ just falls off a cliff(this also applies if he gets behind)”
0
Lappras says “Tbh this champion should get a nerf, you cant really beat him in lane once you QW combo he can just E to dodge your skill.Well just ban it”
0
RefFusioner says “Dodge his hooks as much as possible.
His E is countered by your E.
(as you should know already.)”
0
RockitoAhri says “You probably won't see him on mid. BUT IN CASE YOU DO. His only way of killing you is following up on a GANK! So get wards! This is how you beat him. You ward - You win. (Also he has a heal passive. Poke only with Q. Using more abilities for poking that won't kill him, makes it worth for him to go out of vision and heal it back up, and you just wasting ur mana. Small chunks into all in AND WARDS!)”
0
Deratrax says “Pyke's Slipperiness and executes are difficult to handle; But if you can rush Zhonya's and can an early lead pre 6 then you win.”
0
LONERlSM says “Champion is busted you can win lane and shove him in but he will still find ways to roam pyke mid relies on getting ultimate gold once he is 6 do not fight him if he goes 1for1 you are not doing your job. Go even and look to make pyke not useful go rylias build. ”
0
Fox1ne says “You harass him a lot,he needs jungler to back him up else there is nothing he can do vs you. And he needs tiamat in order to maintain some control on mid lane waves.”
0
LunarkeGG says “Dodge his Q and E and try to stay in his vision so he cant heal.”
0
ShadowFox101 says “Pyke is not a good midlaner. His ultimate is deadly but unless you overstay in lane or get ganked he will never be able to use it on you. He has CC, but if he pulls you towards him you and follows up with his stun dash you can just ult on him or W out.”
0
KadiusFTW says “Makes any amount of movement speed advantage useless, because he is very good at stealth tactics and stun locks. ”
0
kilgta says “same as a zed and sylas lane, really hard matchup with a lot of damage but you counter him in teamfights and late game.”
0
punmaster911 says “he cannot touch you. ever. or as long as your e is up and reflexes are fast”
0
picarowanderer says “If Pyke goes mid (which is rare) you can beat him easily. If support, then it depends on the player.”
0
Bughans says “Ouch. Good luck. He's busted midlane, so i can't help ya there, Buster.”
0
Bengineer says “Two complaints:
1. He can easily escape you
2. If you're like me and have close calls with low health, you are screwed if he has his ult up.”
