Make sure there is always a minion between you and Pyke to block his Q. This basic positioning will significantly reduce his kill pressure and engagement potential.

Pyke excels at early wave pushing and roaming. Counter this by:

• Harassing him before he can purchase Serrated Dirk
• Matching his wave clear to protect your tower
• Pinging missing whenever he leaves lane
• Maintaining vision on river and jungle paths

Key strategies against Pyke:

• Stay above execution threshold to deny his Ultimate (R) resets
• Save Flash to escape his Ultimate when low health
• Ward flanks during objective fights to prevent surprise engages
• Track his split pushing and warn team of potential rotations

Important power spikes to watch for:

• Serrated Dirk: Enables aggressive roaming
• Level 6: Ultimate execution becomes available
• Mobility Boots: Increases roam potential significantly

Strong counters:

• Taliyah
• Anivia
• Qiyana
• Zed
• Naafiri
• Vex
• Diana
• Yasuo
• LeBlanc

These champions either outrange Pyke, can escape his engage, or can punish his roaming attempts effectively.
