Is Pyke better when played alongside Annie?
There is no top ally for Pyke that will always be his best synergy. However, Annie is a very typical teammate for Pyke. By locking into the same team as Pyke, she raises their win rate by 0.1% to 49.2%. This proves that there is not really a strong bond between Pyke and Annie that allows them to perform at the top of their game together than alone.
Annie has a lower difficulty than Pyke. That means you don't need to be careful when arranging Annie comrades to fight alongside, as they will have to have a relatively low level of skill to work well with you.
Working alongside, you should expect to witness an overall large increase in your team’s capacity to buff allies and debuff enemies. When paired, these champs may be able to carry with the power of their abilities.
Conversely, by grouping Pyke and Annie together, you may not be granting your other teammates much tankyness. Make sure to bring other champs on your team that offsets this relative disparity in their abilities.
Regardless of the ability of your Annie ally, you should focus on maximizing your income, warding to avoid ambushes, and taking down objectives. If you do this, you will do well anyway.
