Playing against Pyke

How to counter and exploit weaknesses

1

Pyke CANNOT gain bonus HP: HP items are converted into AD. He stays squishy the entire game.

2

His R has a threshold indicator (X on the ground): if you're above the threshold, you can't be executed.

3

Control wards reveal Pyke in W — place them in fights to prevent him from flanking.

4

His Q hook has a visible windup: sidestep when you see him charging.
