This is Pyke's own plan; across 7,451 pooled games the lane is leaning Pyke.
| Stage | Favoured | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Level 1 | Morgana | Morgana's L1 Q root out-ranges and out-locks Pyke's engage. |
| Level 2 | Morgana | At 2 her Q-into-W punishes any straight-line approach by Pyke. |
| Level 3 | Morgana | Level 3 Black Shield begins negating Pyke's CC-reliant kit. |
| Levels 4-5 | Morgana | Through 4-5 her long-cooldown-covering Q peels Pyke's dives. |
| Level 6 | Morgana | At 6 Black Shield can eat Pyke's R execute and hook CC. |
| First item | Morgana | First item Zhonya plus Q denies Pyke's all-in windows. |
| Two+ items | Morgana | Late, Morgana's shield and R chain-root fully counter Pyke. |
Morgana holds the edge from level 1: her Q (Dark Binding) root outlasts and outranges your comfortable engage, and a single Q into W (Tormented Shadow) chunks you before your Q-E combo lands. Play from fog, never approach in a straight line, and only step up once her Q is on cooldown; ward wide so she can't pre-aim the bush. Her shield absorbs the hook outright, so force it onto your carry before you throw. Charge from the brush on the beat afterwards, hold the dash-stun for her follow-up, and let the grey health carry you through the pool rather than backing off early.
