Extreme Threats

Alistar
This is Pykes hardest matchup. Alistars strength over Pyke is his quick engage on the ADC, while Pykes reactive CC is relatively slow. Vs Alistar you never want to stack near your carry, which is normally your best location for quick peel. Alistar combo will CC you both and you will potentially both die if you stand close. Position away from Alistar try to bait his combos on yourself when his AD is out of range for follow up, to provide a safe laning experience for your carry. You CAN look for trades on Alistar, as long as you are not pulling him into combo range of your carry with enemy carry in range to follow up on your carry.

Kai'Sa
Kai'sa has a decent ability to push the wave with Pyke opening up more room to land hooks. She has some built in self peel with her E and her R and she has a lot of burst damage between her q passive and W combo to follow up on your plays. And landing any form of hard CC with her in range will allow her to follow up directly with R to engage on enemy carries.
