## How to play against Pyke

Lane and teamfight rules that hold regardless of your pick.

### In lane and in teamfights

- Stand behind minions and punish missed Q with immediate damage before he can reset in fog.

- Track his bush movement; deny unwarded angles so E cannot start a free all-in.

- Group low-health allies away from fog so his R cannot chain resets through a skirmish.

- Force him to show before objectives by clearing side bushes and river entrances together.

- Stop chasing into darkness after a won fight; he turns scattered low-health targets into R resets.

## Where Pyke is weak

Exploit these in draft and in lane.

- Pyke cannot absorb frontline damage, so grouped teams can punish him before he finds execute resets.

- His pick threat depends on fog and low-health targets, making sustained vision control sharply reduce his impact.
