This is Rell's own plan; across 6,959 pooled games the lane is leaning Rell.
| Stage | Favoured | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Level 1 | Pyke | Pyke's level-1 hook range and gray-health sustain win the opening trade. |
| Level 2 | Pyke | At level 2 his charged Bone Skewer out-ranges your W-Q, letting him poke and pull first. |
| Level 3 | Rell | By level 3 your W-Q dash-stun is online and punishes his squishy frame in any trade. |
| Levels 4-5 | Rell | Through 4-5 you can CC-lock his E engages and win extended fights on tank stats. |
| Level 6 | Pyke | At 6 his Death From Below execute-reset swings the all-in back to Pyke. |
| First item | Pyke | On first item his hook range and roam tempo keep the squishy assassin ahead. |
| Two+ items | Rell | Two items in your chain-CC and Magnet Storm delete the glass Pyke before his reset lands. |
Pyke wins the first two levels: his charged Q (Bone Skewer) out-ranges your W-Q engage and his passive gray-health regen lets him trade poke and heal it back, so don't walk into hook range to fish for your level-2 all-in. Stand behind minions, body-block hooks for your ADC, and respect his E stun as disengage. His hook out-ranges your approach, so let him commit first and punish the recovery. Keep the bind on your carry beforehand, ward the flanks so his reposition never arrives unseen, and crash down once his hook has already been spent rather than while it is available.
