This is Pyke's own plan; across 14,596 pooled games the lane is leaning Leona.
| Stage | Favoured | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Level 1 | Pyke | Pyke's level-1 hook threat beats Leona's rangeless, slow early presence. |
| Level 2 | Pyke | Pyke's level-2 E-stun trade lands before Leona's engage chain is leveled. |
| Level 3 | Leona | Leona's level-3 E-Q lockup chains onto Pyke's dash and wins the trade. |
| Levels 4-5 | Leona | Levels 4-5 Leona's full CC and tankiness dominate any close-range fight. |
| Level 6 | Pyke | Pyke's level-6 R executes low Leona and punishes her committed engage. |
| First item | Pyke | Serrated Dirk keeps Pyke's execute lethal even as Leona stacks resistances. |
| Two+ items | Pyke | Pyke's fog hooks and reset execute out-pick Leona once she plays around her CC. |
Level 1-2 leans to you: you spike at 2 with hook plus E stun before Leona has her engage chain fully leveled, so short-trade and back off while she's still a slow-moving bruiser with no ranged threat. Both of you want the level-two engage, so the brush decides it: get there first and make her walk blind. Charge the hook from cover, hold the dash-stun for the moment her chain lands, and let the grey health carry you through the follow-up.
