Track: Pyke's Q — Bone Skewer (10–8s cooldown). The hook starts the chain — his R cleans what it catches.
Read from Hwei's seat: which stage windows this plan plays for against Pyke.
This is Hwei's own plan; across 4,371 pooled games the lane is leaning Pyke.
| Stage | Favoured | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Level 1 | Hwei | You start with longer-range Q bolts and W zone that outpoke Pyke's melee Q charge at level 1. |
| Level 2 | Hwei | At 2 your double-waypush burst plus W lets you chunk Pyke before he can regen, keeping you ahead. |
| Level 3 | Even / skill | By 3 it evens out as Pyke gains hook range and roam pressure to match your poke. |
| Levels 4-5 | Even / skill | Levels 4-5 stay skill-dependent — trades hinge on whether you dodge his Q or he lands it. |
| Level 6 | Pyke | Pyke's level-6 R execute and reset turn him into the lane's kill threat, flipping tempo to him. |
| First item | Pyke | Into first item Pyke's roam-and-reset gold keeps him snowballing and dictating the map. |
| Two+ items | Hwei | By 2+ items your layered CC and EE disengage outscale his single-pick all-in, so you retake the edge. |
You own levels 1-2: your Q bolts and W outrange Pyke's Q charge, so chunk him and deny his out-of-vision passive regen before he can sustain back. Your poke out-ranges his charged hook, so chunk him whenever he steps forward and deny the out-of-vision reposition. Choose the subject before he commits rather than after. Ward the flanks, keep your ADC behind the wave, and spend mana on the punish rather than the push.
