Track: Hwei's E — Subject: Torment (CC Paints, 12–10s cooldown). All his CC lives on E — dodge the paint and the burst never chains.
Read from Pyke's seat: which stage windows this plan plays for against Hwei.
This is Pyke's own plan; across 4,371 pooled games the lane is leaning Pyke.
| Stage | Favoured | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Level 1 | Pyke | Pyke's Q hook and E threat pressure Hwei at level 1 where his slow spells can't punish you. |
| Level 2 | Pyke | Pyke's clean level-2 all-in with E stun lands before Hwei has both damage spells online. |
| Level 3 | Pyke | Pyke out-tempos an immobile Hwei through level 3 with hook-into-stun trades. |
| Levels 4-5 | Pyke | Levels 4-5 Pyke keeps roam and pick priority that rooted Hwei cannot answer. |
| Level 6 | Pyke | Pyke's level-6 R executes low Hwei and resets across a chunked bot lane. |
| First item | Pyke | Serrated Dirk pushes Pyke's execute threshold past Hwei's squishy health pool. |
| Two+ items | Pyke | Pyke's pick threat and execute keep him ahead of Hwei even as items come online. |
Level 1-2 you win the tempo: your Q hook and E dash-stun let you pick a level-2 all-in before Hwei has both damage spells, and his lack of mobility means any hook is nearly a kill with ADC follow-up. His reach beats yours at every level, so stop contesting and use the camouflage to leave rather than to arrive. Charge the hook only once he has committed a cast, and let the grey health rather than a back-off be what carries you through the chip.
