One of these champions is not usually played in this lane — treat the verdict as a rough guide.
How to play it
- Cut the healing
Pyke sustains — Chempunk Chainsword on your first back.
- Physical resistance
Pyke deals physical damage — Death's Dance as your 2nd or 3rd item.
When you are in danger
- Full HP or back off
Pyke's burst kills from half HP. No trades under 60%, and buy Dawnshroud early.
- Save your dash for CC
Don't dash in — keep it to escape Pyke's crowd control.
