Pyke Counters

The best champions not in lane to counter Pyke include Ziggs, Ezreal, and Zeri. These are all good at countering Pyke with win rates over 56%. Even if these Pyke counter picks are not taken in your lane, it's not smart to choose him into one of these matchups. They will likely win against Pyke.

Yet, if the opposing team picks either Swain or Lillia, Pyke mains should strongly think about picking him, as he easily dominates these champs with win rates over 52% against both ofthem.

Pyke becomes a threat as early as level 2. His tendency to aggressively seek kills can be countered by playing cautiously and avoiding early trades.

His mobility allows him to escape easily - use crowd control abilities to keep him in place.

Pyke can't do much when his Q is on cooldown. Take advantage of this window to engage him.

If he misses his ultimate R, it's a significant setback for him. Try to anticipate and dodge it to deny him gold and damage.

His mid-game is particularly strong, with the ability to secure multiple kills. Consider grouping up and focusing him down during this stage.

Pyke's ultimate has the potential to turn team fights in his favor. Try to spread out to avoid giving him a multi-kill opportunity.

He's dangerous when roaming the map and looking to execute low-health champions. Regular map awareness and communication with your team can prevent him from getting the drop on you.
