Pyke·Mid Counters

Make sure there is always a minion between you and Pyke at all times to make it harder for him to land his Q.

Pyke will try to push the wave as much as possible early so he can get a quick back and get his first item. Harass and poke him down so he has to recall before he can get enough gold for Dirk.

Pyke is a great roaming champion. Once he gets Mobility Boots, expect him to roam frequently. Ping whenever he leaves lane so your teammates know that he is missing. Try and match his pushing power so you do not lose your Tower if he roams.

Back away when you’re low on HP in a team fight so he is unable to get the reset on his Ultimate R. Similarly, make sure you use Flash to escape his Ultimate R so he cannot get the reset and win the fight.

Ward the flanks when sieging objectives as Pyke can attack from the side or pick someone off with his Q and win the fight.

When no team fights are occurring, Pyke will be in a side lane split pushing. Keep an eye on his positioning and fall back if you see him rotating to join the fight.

Once Pyke has got Serrated Dirk, he will try to push constantly and roam. Keep this in mind when laning against him.

When Pyke hits level 6, his kill pressure increases as his Ultimate R is an execute. Back away when low so he is unable to kill you and snowball his lead.

Pyke is really good at roaming. Once he has Mobi Boots, expect him to roam around the map and assist his allies. Ping whenever he goes missing.
