Worst matchup. Bullys you pre-6. You don't have kill pressure bc of his Passive. His W blocks your Q. He can easily kill you off of 1 R post-6. Try to play safe and wait for your jgl to assist you. Compensate for your lane disadvantage through roaming.

Lee Sin

Ideal

You have to rely on Ganks pre-6. Lee Sin can very much do that. Also he wants to get fed. Your R can help with that.

Champion Build Guide

Hey, it's me!

Heyo,

I'm Sq_09 and im a casual LoL player.

Through this description alone, you should've noticed, that anything I post here is not serious, viable or ranked-proof. I'm more about having fun and stuff and playing trolly but fun builds like this. With that said ... Pyke mid/top

Pros/Cons

Pros:
- Good roaming potential early
- high kill pressure post-6
- R can give a gold lead
- can easily assassinate backline

Cons:
- many bad matchups in lane
- not as high pressure without R
- very weak pre-6
- almost no sustain

Gameplan

As Pyke mid/top your gameplan is to:
- Roam a lot
- get your team ahead
- secure kills in the enemy backline
- pull enemies in to engage a teamfight
- get huge R strings in teamfights

As Pyke (especially in midlane) you can roam a lot. Your and give you insane roaming potential. Look for lanes that are pushed in, walk into the river and (if you have it) halfway through. Activate your W shortly before entering lane to get an unseen or off and finish it off with to give your other lanes a gold advantage.

If you get ganked, when roaming or in later teamfights, well placed s can give either your laner, jungler or your entire team a huge gold-spike. To guarantee hitting a , either wait for friendly CC to lock someone down, count the enemies mobility-cooldowns or just predict their movements. You can also mid-R to catch enemies who, for example away themselves.

Being an assassin, you can easily dive into the enemy backline with your . The stun can prevent tanks or supports from peeling for their adc and lock down the adc themselves. You can do a AA, Q, AA combo on them and finish them off with . You can either continue with your R-resets or disengage with your to regenerate some health back and reengage later on (with ofc).

If you are able to pull in a squishier target (or anyone even) you can start the teamfight with some big damage or even a kill. Try using to from unexpected angles. You can also pull enemies over walls. So if you see an opportunity, you can try pulling someone in to seperate them from their team and quickly kill them. You can even cheese enemies who stick to you, by charging a and pulling them over the wall behind you.

Huge strings look flashy, are worth high amounts of damage and give your team a heck ton of gold ... Always try going for these if you can.

Laning

You can apply a lot of kill pressure and shuv waves in to roam a lot.

Depending on the matchup, you can play really agressively and zone with s out of nowhere. If you hit a , you are able to kill most squishy targets very quickly with . Keep in mind tho, that you are very squishy yourself and you don't survive much damage. You also don't apply too much kill pressure to tanks, sice they can just take the damage without having to worry too much about getting executed. In hard matchups you have to rely on early ganks to get a lead.

If you manage to shuv some waves in or to make the enemy laner recall, you can start roaming and getting a lead for you and your other lanes. Use and to get there quickly and unseen and hopefull secure some kills. is a good item to pick up early to keep yourself unseen and clear enemy vision. It also makes the enemies lane way less secure, since you can just clear out their wards, which encourages them to play further back, which makes roaming way easier.

Conclusion
