Stay away from this fight. You cant out trade, his Q chunks you out from any engage and he is a pain if he gets fed. Stay back and farm, and wait for a potential gank from the jungler or a play under turret.
Darius
Darius is a champ just like Garen who can easily punish misplacement and destroys squishies. Pyke should scream if he encoutners the Noxian brute, this match-up is all in his favor. Stay back and farm, and wait for a potential gank from the jungler or a play under turret.
Aatrox
Aatrox has incredibly high scaling with his abilities, and his mid to late game is much stronger then you. The only advantage you can have in this is to win a early first blood/kill, stay cautious, and farm till laning is shifting towards mid game or the jungle is ahead. Other than that if he gets ahead, you are done for.
Cho'Gath
Pyke can't burst down tanks very well, if they scale hard enough that is. Any large body champion has the potential to just steamroll right over him. Don't fight, dodge his q and e. If he goes AP however, you have a chance of an early lead. Freeze and out zone and wait till his abilities are on CD for quick burst engage with your HOB and commit.
Illaoi
Illaoi has the self-sustain you keep you constantly on your toes and worrying whether or not you will even get out of the lane with 10 cs. Again, Pykes early game is super strong. But once she scales its almost impossible to contest.
Jax
Even though Jax is a AA king, his early game is so weak that you can steamroll him out of commission. A level 1 all in is usually a bad idea, so waiting till 2 to pull a Q, AA, E, AA, Ignite usually gets a first blood. He is predictable and baitable, so wait for his jump to E away and setup a successful hook.
Fiora
DANGER. DO NOT APPROACH THIS WOMAN UNLESS YOU WANT YOUR TEAM TO FLAME YOU FOR FEEDING.
If matched by chance, just farm under tower and wait for a potential tower play. She can easily punish your Q with her parry, due to its large channel so she sets up on you really well.
Jayce
In ranged, you can easily punish for missed skillshots. His melee gives him more kick, but usually pyke can burst him low enough to execute in most fights. His lethality path is harder to deal with, since one missed e and he can burst you down in a good trade or if he is ahead, kill you quite quickly.
Renekton
Farm under turret and try to bait some plays by cheesy trading. The Croc will eat you alive.
Akali
Her ability to outplay and run around you is quite annoying, and without vision your execute is useless unless you have the skill to do so by stun setup exposing her in shroud. You can bring it back but if she gets ahead, its gonna be a lot of punish rather than engage.
Nasus
Same as the Croc, Susan will eat you up for breakfast. The only time you can fight is levels 1-3, if you can get ahead by punishing his need for farm you could stop him from getting to big later on. Other than that just don't take this on.
Irelia
A weaker top lane early and mid game. She has the damage to knock you down once she reaches 6, but you have the ability to put her out if she gets too close either under turret or if she is trying to stack her passive in lane. Punish her Q and all in, with care of her E. If she misses, its free kills.
Kled
Two health bars? Not fun.
Camille
Her ability to trade is directly related to how close she can get. Pyke excels at punishing the up-close so the better you out zone and punished a missed E, the better.
Malphite
The rock is a really hardcore matchup. His regening armor negates any trades you can get and his overall engage on you leaves you useless to boot. Dont fight, but wait for ganks and a potential dumb malphite turret dive turn around.
Wukong
Since Wukong's changes, he has become one of the most annoying sustain champs in the game. Earlier in this build, I gave him a tiny threat meter for his laning but now he can go toe to toe with your damage. Your burst is much higher however, so take advantage of his weak level 1 before he stacks his armor on you.
Kayle
Basically a walking kill. Her melee form level 1-5 is so punishable that pyke can legit walk into her and she melts under the HOB damage. Always bring long sword to this fight, and ignite for an easy first blood.
Mordekaiser
The metal giant is squishy underneath his W shield early game plus as long as his health under the threshold Pyke can still execute. Dodge and zone his Q and bait out his W for good trades and potential all ins, get cs advantage/tiamat advantage and you should be able to out trade always.
Maokai
The Tree is a force of nature a shark can't really compete with. Early is possible, but overall just dont get into this matchup without understanding you'll be in the dirt under your tower if he gets ahead. His early is somewhat strong, but your damage can out trade enough to secure a execute once you reach 6.
Ornn
Really not a viable match. His lane survival and over tank builds ruin your damage potential, but his early game combat isnt too strong for pyke to try his luck.
Volibear
Nope.
Urgot
Urgot isn't the most optimal opponent for pyke, but his E makes an interesting set up but pykes moveset. His burst if he lands it however on a behind pyke really chunks your hp, so using your Phantom Undertoe in the opposite direction of his flip will usually end up in Urgots (R) predicting your movement.
Veigar
His cage is good for setups with finishing executes, and his over damage can weed out squishy targets for your executes to fly.
Volibear
CC adds to the overall lethality of your kit, keep him close to setup some good stuff.

Hecarim
The Horse is great for a dive, but usually leaves enemies running before you can even catch up. Keep pace and it should be fine.
Diana
Diana is quite a burst oriented champ, wait for her e and enhanced auto attack speed with her ult to get that execute on a target, and chain it to the others during team fights.
Shaco
Boxes and manipulation help set up this duo really well. Cheesy baits and sneaky damage are always a plus for Pyke.
Malphite
CC adds to the overall lethality of your kit, keep him close to setup some good stuff.

Any champions that can do a lot of damage in a short window are a big benefit to Pyke, quick kills mean more gold so having them fed and around you is important.

Welcome to my Pyke Season 10 mid and top lane guide. I'm currently a gold IV pyke main, with over 300k mastery points in NA. I loved Pyke since the day of his teaser, and fell in love with him over the many, many, executes i've done over the course of my league hours.
Hope you enjoy, happy hunting.
NOTE: Most of the information is on the notes tabs in each runes and item-sets. I might add a whole gameplay description later but for now, this is what ya get.
