Pros - Good Burst - Mobile - Good Sutstain - Heavy CC
Cons - Very Squishy - Outclassed by other supports - High Cooldowns - Team Dependent
Pyke Support Indepth
Starting off the game with level 1 always speculate if your adc is aggressive or not so this will be your ticket to snowball fast as always check if enemy will back off when you go closer to them and zone them from the minion wave therefore enemy adc and support will lose gold if you're ahead enough you can zone them completely from xp and gold if they walk up its where you and your adc will always engage
As pre laning phase always dive at level 2 so the way if the enemy is oblivious to what you're doing is walk closer once 2nd wave hits kill the 3 melee minions to be able to get level 2 immediately thats where you hit your abilities and kill a target. when you're facing champs that have flash or dash time and prioritize them
Itemization
Buy umbral glaive if you're behind or if ahead you can op for a mythic item or axiom arc always prio builds to counter the enemy support even if you're behind like for example karma or any enchanter that has barrier you will always rush serpents fang because you will lose the lane if they manage to get moonstone
How to Counter Pyke?
Use a champion that can FULLY use the power of PRESS THE ATTACK and use mobility/heavy cc champions
Why mobility champions ? because pyke's hook as a 0.1 cast time where he stops and throws his hook with mobility you can avoid it easily almost all of his abilities
What if he uses aftershock in a heavy cc matchup? if his adc is immobile always go for the adc because he can't do anything without his damage dealer but be careful he still deals a decent amount of damage
