Read from Blitzcrank's seat: which stage windows this plan plays for against Pyke.
This is Blitzcrank's own plan; across 9,269 pooled games the lane is leaning Blitzcrank.
| Stage | Favoured | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Level 1 | Blitzcrank | Level 1 is yours because Blitz's grab range and knockup out-threaten Pyke before his kit comes online. |
| Level 2 | Even / skill | Level 2 is even as both of you gain a real all-in, your grab-burst versus his Q-pull. |
| Level 3 | Even / skill | Level 3 is a skill wash where neither wants to waste a key cooldown on the wrong target. |
| Levels 4-5 | Even / skill | Levels 4-5 stay even, decided by who dodges the other's engage and manages sustain. |
| Level 6 | Pyke | Level 6 tips to Pyke because his execute-reset ult outscales your utility Static Field in all-ins. |
| First item | Pyke | At first item Pyke stays ahead thanks to roam-and-execute pressure your grab-funding items don't match. |
| Two+ items | Even / skill | By 2+ items it's skill again as teamfights dilute his execute and reward whoever lands the first pick. |
You own the opening levels. Blitz has the longer effective range and a level-1 hook, so hold Q and threaten Pyke every time he creeps up to Bone Skewer poke; a single grab on him ends the trade. By level 2 both of you are dangerous, but your grab-into-Overdrive-into-knockup burst on HIS body is a bigger swing than his skillshot-Q pull, so the pressure is yours to keep. You have the longer reach and a level-one threat, so hold the hook and make him respect every step he takes toward your ADC. Never chase him past the wave. Overdrive is for the approach after his own hook has missed, and the fist stops the dash he uses to reposition.
