This is Milio's own plan; across 9,673 pooled games the lane is leaning Milio.
| Stage | Favoured | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Level 1 | Milio | Milio's level 1 Q poke and Cozy Campfire sustain out-tempo Pyke's early presence, so you win the opening. |
| Level 2 | Pyke | Pyke's level 2 charged Bone Skewer plus stealth or Phase Dive lets him hook-stun-burst before you can peel. |
| Level 3 | Pyke | At 3 Pyke's Q range and roam threat keep punishing any pushed-up positioning of yours. |
| Levels 4-5 | Pyke | Through 4-5 Pyke's pick pressure and cooldowns still dictate the lane, forcing you onto the back foot. |
| Level 6 | Pyke | Pyke's level 6 R executes low targets and resets, making his all-in the dominant threat. |
| First item | Pyke | With his first item Pyke's burst-and-vanish pattern still outpaces your single-item peel. |
| Two+ items | Milio | At 2+ items Milio's range buff, Q peel and R cleanse hard-counter Pyke's dive-and-execute, so you take over. |
Level 1 you win the tempo: Milio's Q poke and Cozy Campfire out-sustain Pyke's early presence, so respect nothing and set your ADC up to farm safely. But once Pyke hits 2 he flips it, hard, with charged Bone Skewer plus stealth or Phase Dive letting him hook-stun before you can peel, so stop shoving and hug your ADC, keeping W ready to cleanse-dash the moment he winds up a hook. Your poke and your sustain out-last his early pressure, so hold the tempo and heal through the chip. Keep the campfire behind your own line, hold the kick for the moment he reappears rather than while he is invisible, and ward the flanks before you push.
