EvoNinja7 says “Pyke Is a VERY scary match up to play against because of his long range on his hook and his damage output with his ultimate. He has a delay when he wants to hook you, which allows you to reposition. Hide behinds minions to prevent getting hooked and engage once he has used his Q (hook) and his E (stun).”
TwinkieHugz says “Same with blitz basically, if he roams there's really nothing you can do about it. Keep vision and make sure you know where he is, if its a bad Pyke you're fine though.”
yers says “Predictable hook if he initiates with it. Other than that, he's on the squishier level of hook champs and can easily get killed early. YOU CAN PUSH HIM AWAY WITH E IF HE'S IN THE MIDDLE OF CHARGING AT YOU.”
Jovy says “Very hard to deal with. He's very much like a regular assassin in spite of being a support and you are immobile and very squishy. Another complication is that he can easily stop your ultimate with his Q or E. He's very slippery so you will have a hard time catching him. Hopefully you will have a support who can CC lock him somehow (he's quite squishy, so that's your best bet) and that can also protect you from his engages.”
Camelorry says “You can block his q and dodge pretty easily his e with yours, but still, he has a lot of damage and his ult is unavoidable if you get hit by it.”
EvoNinja7 says “Like Blitzcrank, he has high base AD and has insane Q range, making it hard for you to dodge it. Play safe when laning against him and only engage when you know his Q isn't up. But then again, he can always stun you with his E anyway. So just ban him out if you find him difficult to lane against.”
eyh4sxdf says “He can pull you out of your ult, but if you know he'll try to ult you you can ult first. You can save teammates like this and stop resets. Try to Q out of stun if you can.”
Terrific says “Pyke can literally miss 20 Q's in a row and will still be doing more than your support because of the amount of pressure he has on you. Care for his E and Q. If he misses these you can punish him for it but other then that he can fuck you up if his ADC follows up on his plays.”
Trisien says “Pyke can be hard to deal with because of his high mobility. With a strong adc, he might force you away from farm, but his E is the hardest thing to deal with. You can cancel it with Vault, but it is really hard to do and mostly ends with you jumping into the enemy adc instead. ”
kiranezio says “Try not to overextend your lane when he is in enemy team. As he does some serious damage. He always engages with his Q, make surer to avoid that. His ult is very annoying where could easily take you out when you are low. Always try to keep your health above 30%.”
Mericat says “Good engages, strong ultimate, high safety, potential carrying power AND a hook? Pyke has all of it! Running Bone Plating and abusing our range we can handle him, but hes always a very dangerous enemy - never get hooked, never miss your sight on him and respect his power especially early on, else your lane will go horribly wrong! ”
mrPERISH says “Pyke can be a tough lane opponent. The invisiblity, the LONG hook, and the stupid amount of damage with his ult make him tough to deal with without a good support.”
Eccentricks says “I'm sure you went for Pyke almost instantly, wanting to know how Rito messed up so hard and what you can do to fix it. And, you are out of luck... just pray he doesn't appear out of the bush with his hook fully charged and ready to skewer you like a shark finner. The only think you can do is call for ganks while his W is on cooldown, because he will easily die then. UNLESS HE DECIDES HE WANTS TO PRESS R THEN YOU'RE ALL DEAD”
finalninja says “His stealth ability can catch you , and his ult is very scary. When engaging, keep your finder on your summoner spells to dodge his ult. ”
Eucalyptus says “Surprisingly enough Graves is able to easily kite around a Pyke while remaining healthy. A bad fight will turn the game sour against a Pyke (As always).”
PoroKamiSama says “One hook from Pyke and you will lose at the very least half your health bar. His passive also makes him hard to poke down. Though with some side stepping and help from your sup you should be fine.”
Fruxo says “Don't get hit by his long ranged Q and try to dodge his E to your best ability. Try to make him "waste" his ultimate or dodge it (somehow).”
Barni1791 says “Pyke is harder to deal with. you can run from his E with your E, and you can even get away from him. Pykekal nehezebb elbánni, de az E-jét kikerülheted a te E-ddel, és még el is mehetsz a közeléből.”
Fruxo says “Don't get hit by his long ranged Q and try to dodge his E to your best ability. Try to make him "waste" his ultimate or dodge it (somehow).”
ELMallekZarzor says “Very strong burst potential, especially at level 6.Good gank setup with Q and E .Hard to poke out due to his Passive.Can easily kill immobile carries with
R if they don't have Flash.but Once Pyke engages he has no real way of getting out and he's extremely squishy.Has a hard time against tank supports that can easily lock him down with Hard CC
”
Righteous Maniac says “broken as fuck atm, my permaban. executes you from 50% hp at level 6 while getting 600 gold........ utterly stupid champ. Not even poke works due to his passive and you can almost never catch him due to his W and E. If you focus his AD he'll just slice you up. E out of his E and dodge his Q or vice versa if possible.”
Lydeer says “Is blitzcrank but better, you can know when hes on stealth by the mark on your feets, when running from him, zig zag and dont let him land his Q, care on trades with level6, maybe you don't live to tell it”
Xerxes Is ADC says “I perma ban this man, he's op. just perma ban him until they nerf him. #1 tip is to hide behind minions to avoid the pull. Treat him like Tahm Kench and poke him when he gets close.”
SilentRipperZ says “We wanna have long fights, we dont want to die in 2 seconds, right? Every supporter with high damage is dangerous for you and you helicopter, so yea... dont pick into those supporters”
koyomilikesbloods says “Pyke has a chance to snowball hard, but he's easy to poke. If he's laning with an aggro adc like Lucian, then just poke with q's and play carefully. ”

Tips Against Pyke in Middle Lane Tips Provided by MOBAFire Guide Authors
Halfhand says “This champion is really anoying if you play against a onetrick. You can't kill him since he heals all your poke in stealth and he outroams you early levels.”
Wholesomefrog says “Pyke is not fun to play against, he can heal a lot of your damage with his passive, he can just farm kills from you with his ult, and if he stuns you your basically going to die everytime.”
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.”
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.”
Pixel Pocket says “Like most AD assassins Pyke struggles into Nunu. Get Deadman's early and force him to either be unable to 1v1 you or buy last whisper which makes him worse against the rest of your team.”
KataTocDo says “I don't see how you would lose. Dodge E and Q. Can Zhonya's ult. Can burst him easily after you dodge his E and Q.
Runes: Elec-Resolve or Prec.
Starting Items: Long Sword or D. Shield/Sword or Dark Seal”
Elite500 says “If you fuck up it's cbt time, just pool his hook, it's a lot less worse getting stunned than hooked, he's pretty unpokable early but if he all ins then you beat him post 6”
DarDarThePenguin says “Pyke only beats Yone levels 1 and 2, unless he gets fed early. After level 3, he can't hit his stun and you outdamage him. If he becomes too fed from misplays, buy an early cloth armor and scale. Take the Standard page and Armor.”
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.”
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 “If your team is all squishy or has no cc, I suggest dodging in champ select. 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.”

Kirito OTP Xerath says “Al enfrentarnos a un Pyke, ya sea como Mid o como Support, queremos jugar con la oleada, para evitar sus Q, saber si tiene flash o no por su combo de E+Flash, y deberíamos llamar a nuestro jungla o jugar bajo torre.
”
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.”
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”
Chili Dog says “If you fuck up it's cbt time, just pool his hook, it's a lot less worse getting stunned than hooked, he's pretty unpokable early but if he all ins then you beat him post 6. Both Runes are viable.”
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.”
Zatharah says “SUPs de engage ou que chegam fácil em Seraphine são sua maior ameaça, pois ela não tem mobilidade e nem vida o suficiente pra aguentar o dano e o CC desses campeões.”
TheFwnK says “Yes. PYKE IS FOR ALL LANES. Except ADC because he will be kinda useless. So, if this guy get you with E+Q+HIT+TIAMAT+IGNITE+ULT= Going back to spawn.”
SkellyBirb says “Pyke can be really hard to deal with as he can roam a lot and has a lot of burst. Play safe in this matchup and make sure you're behind minions os he can't hook you.”
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.”
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”
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.”
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. ”
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.”
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.”
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”
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.”
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”
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.”
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
”
BigBushMan says “This matchup is kind of hard for akali, as pyke can match akali's mobility quite well, but the main downside is that pyke doesn't do well in extended trades without his R. Look to extend trades early and try to win like that. If he hits 6 or has ult up at all, don't try to just E it, the cast time of your E is too long to dodge it. The only way to dodge it without flashing or Stopwatch is with R2, as R1 is now a targeted ability. Survive early and look to outscale. ”
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.”
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)”
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”
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!)”
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. ”
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.”
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.”
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.”
