Read from Pyke's seat: which stage windows this plan plays for against Soraka.
This is Pyke's own plan; across 9,668 pooled games the lane is leaning Soraka.
| Stage | Favoured | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Level 1 | Pyke | Level 1 Soraka is immobile with no CC, so your hook threat owns the lane, favouring you. |
| Level 2 | Pyke | Level 2 your E stun kills a leash-less, self-draining Soraka before she heals, you're ahead. |
| Level 3 | Pyke | Level 3 your roams and hooks pin a babysitting Soraka, keeping the edge yours. |
| Levels 4-5 | Pyke | Levels 4-5 your all-in burst outpaces her self-damaging heals, still your favour. |
| Level 6 | Pyke | Level 6 your R executes Soraka's self-sacrificing kit from high health, a strong you-spike. |
| First item | Pyke | At first item your lethality out-trades her Astral Infusion sustain, keeping you ahead. |
| Two+ items | Pyke | By two-plus items she stays squishy and immobile, so your R still executes her, you win. |
You crush Soraka at levels 1-2. She has no mobility, no hard CC before her E, and she literally spends her own health to heal, so a Q hook or a level-2 E stun sets up a kill she cannot heal through in time. Zone her off Starcall by threatening the hook from brush, and every W she casts on her ADC just feeds your all-in by lowering her own bar. She has no interrupt and pays her own health to sustain, so a landed hook ends the exchange before the heal matters. Charge from cover, hold the dash-stun for her silence, and let the grey health cover the poke you take on the way in.
