Constantly getting harassed in lane by enemy Pyke? Do not worry. Keep in mind our tips and have a better chance against him. Here’s how to counter Pyke in League of Legends: Wild Rift.
League of Legends: Wild Rift Pyke Counter Guide
Pyke was recently released on Wild Rift on 21st of June and has been dominating lanes ever since. Now to counter any champion the first thing you will have to do is understand their play style and abilities.
It is important to remember that Pyke is one of the best roamers in the game who can do tons of damage. Pyke is an assassin who is a very good scaler as the game progresses so taking cc once as a marksman or support can kill you in late-mid or late game. He can fit in various team compositions and is very strong in one v one fights.
Cons of Pyke
Some of the cons of Pyke are that because he’s an assassin and can do tons of damage, he himself is made to have low HP so as to make the match up fairer. He is a champion that is rather hard to master and his stun can be avoided.
Items that help counter Pyke
Basically, items that give you armour. A little extra armour can be the difference between life and death in a team fight with a Pyke on the loose.
Tips to Counter Pyke in Game
Pyke’s first ability is a hook that pulls you to him. The easiest way to avoid this hook is to stay behind minions so he can’t pull you in because once he does he will most likely use his third ability which allows him to pass through you and stun you for 1.25 seconds dealing 110 damage plus during which there’s nothing you can do.

Pyke’s 2nd ability allows him to gain 40% movement speed and be camouflaged for 5 seconds which is the perfect time for him to land his hook on you. Do not forget to have vision awards in the bushes so he can’t catch you off guard.
When Pyke is not in your lane he is either roaming and split pushing in other lanes or hiding to wait for the perfect time to last his hook on you. Therefore remember to stay alert as a team all the time. Having a Pyke on team is almost like having a 2nd jungler. You can expect to get ganked at any point. If you’ve low health try to not engage and back out so he can’t kill you and get a lead.
