Pyke owns levels 1-2: his Q hook out-ranges Galio's short walk-up engage and he can bully with hook-into-melee trades before you have E. Galio wants to hold his taunt for when Pyke commits and never facecheck fog where a hook is waiting. Ward the river bush aggressively so his level-1 pick attempts fizzle.
