Is Poppy better when played alongside Pyke?

There is no universally accepted best companion for Poppy that will always be her ideal ally. However, overall, Pyke is a very typical teammate for Poppy. By playing on the same side as Poppy, he has no effect on their win rate by 0.0% to 49.7%. This clearly indicates that there is not really a strong strategic relationship between Poppy and Pyke that allows them to perform at the same level together than without each other.

Pyke has a greater difficulty than Poppy. That means Poppy players need to be careful when lining up Pyke allies to go into battle on the same side as, as they will require a greater level of skill to be able to do well with you.

Playing together, you should expect to observe an overall large increase in your team’s capacity to destroy wih physical damage. Combined, these champs should be able to take down targets with auto-attacks and other AD damage abilities.

Although, by grouping Poppy and Pyke together, you will not be giving your team enough magic damage. We recommend you have other champions on your team that offsets this relative disparity in this pairing's abilities.

Regardless of your Pyke ally's skill level, you need to focus on increasing your gold income, warding to avoid ambushes, and clearing objectives. If you follow these simple suggestions, you should do well, regardless.
