Who Wins
- You win convincingly at levels 1-3 through superior base stats and sustain, and dominate even harder post-6 with your R's enhanced healing and damage output.
- Pyke cannot match your damage or sustain in extended fights, but respect his roaming threat and execute potential once you're below threshold.
How to Trade
- Look for extended trades using Q combo when Pyke tries to poke - your E passive omnivamp negates his damage while yours sticks through his grey health regeneration.
- Use E to reposition during Qs for sweet spot hits, but don't waste it chasing his W stealth as he might be baiting you into ganks or tower range.
Wave Control
- Maintain wave in center or push to deny Pyke farm and roam timings, as he cannot trade back effectively in extended lanes against your sustain.
- Avoid letting wave freeze near his tower where he farms safely and sets up roams - keep pressure but respect his tower dive setup with E stun and Q pull under turret.
Mistakes to Avoid
- Never chase Pyke under his tower even with R active - his E stun into Q pull under turret negates your sustain advantage and sets up easy kills with CC chain.
- Don't take bad trades that give him free recalls for roams, and always ping missing aggressively as his roaming threat is his primary win condition against you.
