Pyke

Pyke doesn’t play like a typical support. He carries a 9 in attack and a difficulty rating of 7, making him a melee assassin who happens to wear the support label. Instead of shields and heals, he focuses on executions and gold generation, and he occasionally shows up in mid lane.

His passive, Gift of the Drowned Ones, shapes how he survives. He can’t gain bonus maximum health from any source and receives bonus attack damage in its place. He also regenerates health from recent champion damage while he’s hidden from enemies. In practice, Pyke picks short, aggressive fights, slips out of sight to recover, and then dives right back in.

Hooks, Stealth and Executions

Bone Skewer gives him two options: a fast close-range stab or a charged pull that yanks an enemy toward him. It’s among the most dangerous hooks available to supports. Ghostwater Dive provides camouflage and a Move Speed boost that fades over time, which helps him roam into mid lane, flank during fights, and recover using his passive. Phantom Undertow combines mobility with crowd control: he dashes forward, and the phantom he leaves behind flies back to him, stunning any champion caught in its path.

Death From Below is his finisher. Pyke blinks to a target area and executes enemies below a health threshold, resetting the ability on a kill and giving bonus gold to a nearby assisting ally, so his takedowns still feed his carry. He’s best suited to aggressive, high-tempo players who prefer creating kills across the map to staying tied down in a single lane.
