Pyke is a good support champion because he is able to roam and help other lanes. He is also an assassin champion. So, if other lanes, like mid-lane, has no escape, Pyke can gank and secure a kill with ease then return to bot lane.
- Pyke’s R circumvents shields, so it only takes into account base health.
- Pyke’s R is an execution ability if you’re low recall or heal.
- You can dodge Pyke’s ult by using flash or dash abilities.
- Pyke’s Q has to charge, so you have time to dodge it.
- Pyke’s W makes him invisible, so revealing wards can spot him.
- Pyke can use his E to stun his target before executing them with his ultimate.
