Swain vs Pyke · Bot lane matchup

01

Core game plan

Swain is weak without his ultimate. Pyke's stealth and execute threat are high, so you need to rely on teammates to counter-engage. Lane pressure is heavy.

How a strong Pyke player plays

  1. 1

    Q poke to bait skills

    Good Pykes will spam Q to test you. After you dodge, they pretend to misplay, then hook you when you let your guard down.

  2. 2

    Stealth ambush

    Using W stealth to approach, Pyke can catch you off guard. He'll wait for you to last hit or misposition, then E into Q.

  3. 3

    Execute pressure

    Pyke will constantly chip your HP, then ult when you're in execute range. When low, his roams become more threatening.
