Who Wins

Pre-6, your lane loses the 2v2 if Pyke lands a hook because your kit has no hard engage answer and Jinx's damage is front-loaded enough to burst Ashe before you can double-bomb stun.
Post-6, your R completely neutralizes Pyke's R execute, which is his primary kill-securing tool, shifting the power balance significantly in your favor.

Your best pattern is to double-bomb stun Pyke when he steps up to hook, then use W slow to let Ashe kite Jinx backward, denying Jinx the extended fight she wants.
Do not use both Q charges on Jinx alone; saving the stun for Pyke's engage is more valuable than raw poke damage.

You should generally not roam pre-6 because Ashe has no self-peel against Pyke's hook and leaving her alone is a free kill for the enemy.
Post-6, once you have R, you can consider a brief mid roam after crashing a wave, but only when Pyke is visibly in lane and cannot follow.

Do not waste your R reactively on small trades; save it specifically for moments when Ashe is at kill threshold from a Pyke all-in or a Jinx chomper trap combo.
Burning R early on a non-lethal situation removes your entire post-6 lane advantage.
