How to win lane as Tahm Kench against Pyke · 53.05% win rate over 2,390 Emerald+ games · Updated 2026-07-27
| Stage | Favoured | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Level 1 | Tahm Kench | You crush level 1: Pyke is a paper-thin hook support with no poke to punish your walk-ups. |
| Level 2 | Tahm Kench | At 2 your Q slow plus An Acquired Taste stacks shred his tiny health bar while he can't trade. |
| Level 3 | Tahm Kench | At 3 you body-block Bone Skewer and out-sustain everything he throws. |
| Levels 4-5 | Tahm Kench | Levels 4-5 your tank body shrugs off his combo and peels his hooks off your carry. |
| Level 6 | Tahm Kench | At 6 R Devour eats the target his Death from Below executes, killing his reset entirely. |
| First item | Tahm Kench | At first item his lethality burst can't punch through your Thick Skin grey health. |
| Two+ items | Tahm Kench | Late you screen your backline and eat every Pyke pick, hard-countering his whole kit. |
You dominate levels 1-2. Pyke has one of the lowest support health pools and no sustain, so your walk-up Q slows and An Acquired Taste stacks chunk him while he can't trade back. Block his Q Bone Skewer with your body or a minion and he has nothing; every hook he misses is a free window for your ADC.
