Read from Pyke's seat: which stage windows this plan plays for against Thresh.
This is Pyke's own plan; across 28,011 pooled games the lane is leaning Thresh.
| Stage | Favoured | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Level 1 | Pyke | Level 1 you can dodge his telegraphed hook and out-threaten a squishy early Thresh, favouring you. |
| Level 2 | Pyke | Level 2 your E stun into follow-up out-trades his Flay poke, so you're ahead. |
| Level 3 | Pyke | Level 3 your roam tempo beats his slower lantern kit, keeping the edge yours. |
| Levels 4-5 | Pyke | Levels 4-5 your all-in burst wins the hook exchanges before his stacks bulk him up, still your favour. |
| Level 6 | Pyke | Level 6 your R executes the hooked target where Thresh has no reset, a decisive you-spike. |
| First item | Pyke | At first item your lethality kills faster than his lantern-peel can save, keeping you ahead. |
| Two+ items | Pyke | By two-plus items you still win by picking isolated targets before his peel triggers, favouring you. |
This is a hook mirror and you hold the edge levels 1-2. Both of you fish for Q, but you can dodge his telegraphed Death Sentence and answer with your own hook plus a level-2 E stun, and Thresh is squishy before his Q armor stacks build. Whoever lands the first hook wins the trade, so throw yours from brush and fog where he can't react. Punish him whenever his Q is on cooldown, and don't walk into his Flay setups. Two hooks and one brush decides the lane, so contest it early and make him throw blind. Take his chain on your own body rather than your carry's, and answer with a charged hook and the dash-stun while his cooldown is still running.
