Leona
The cancer of bot lane is a hard matchup for pyke. You CAN escape her stuns but that means you have to keep everything to get out and you therefore cant really engage with a clear mind. Avoid her at all cost (BAN!)
Tristana
You'll love to have an ADC that can just dive in with you whenever you stun someone. Great combo.

Champion Build Guide
Pyke is a CC but also an escape artist. When you build him for it, you can catch up with ANYONE in order to secure kills. Make sure not to put yourself in awkward positions though!
Q - Your Q is your bread and butter. This is the first aspect that you have to master as a Pyke main - Landing those Q. If you can land a couple of them early game, you give some serious chances to get early kills and snowball from there. Be careful not to get an enemy closer when you or your ally are low hp - it could kill you. When you help a friend that is running away, make sure you pull the enemy in another direction.
W - Although its the last ability you boost, your W is insanely important - you gain some movement speed and become invisible to the enemy if you keep a certain distance. It allows you to engage while surprising the enemy but also to run away when things get ugly. You can easily combine this with your E or your R.
E - This is the second hard thing to master as a Pyke - your dash. Dashing through one enemy is fine, dashing through 3 is magnificent - because it will stun them all. When you combo it with your Prowler's Claw and the stars align just a little, you can stun an entire team. Be careful though - you're still targetable as you dash towards someone - so dont think that you can outplay a lux or a morgana without having the chance to get a Q right in the face.
R - Your ultimate is what makes Pyke a menace. It will execute any enemy who's health is below a certain point (when the enemy's life bar is red) Increase your lethality to be able to execute even when the enemy still have a reasonable amount of HP! If you land an ult, you'll have a rather long cooldown that will allow you to ult again - the cooldown will reset if you get another kill. It goes on like that infinitely, so if you play your cards right, you can easily get a pentakill. Also, if many low-health enemies are on the same spot, you can execute them all in a single strike.
You hook, dash, stun and exaust your opponent and watch your adc finish the job. Hail of blades even allows you to secure one or two solo kills depending on the matchup! Pyke can invade other lanes too but be careful to not abandon your own. When the jungler does first drag, go mostly to help if ever the objective is contested.
