Pyke Support, patch 16.11. Below you'll find Pyke's build, runes, toughest counters, strongest duos, and win conditions, every number measured from current-patch Emerald+ ranked games.
Pyke is an AD assassin in the support, and on patch 16.11 they grade out as a top-tier pick — a 51.5% win rate, 6.5% pick rate, 75,837 ranked games sampled. On the power curve, Pyke holds a fairly even power curve, staying relevant at every stage rather than relying on a single timing.
How Pyke wins: roaming out of lane to snowball the rest of the map, and using Pyke's mobility to catch isolated targets. The kit grades 10/10 roaming, 9/10 mobility, 7/10 engage. Pyke's soft spots are waveclear and split-push (3/10, 2/10) — avoid fights that hinge on them.
The most-played core build is Celestial Opposition, Umbral Glaive, Edge of Night, which holds a 49.4% win rate across 4,278 games this patch. Set the enemy team at the top of the page to see how the path shifts against that comp.
The matchup to respect is Darius, where Pyke sits at just 42.5%, the lane swings the other way into Smolder (56.7%), and on the team side, Pyke gains the most from a Cassiopeia (+15.0% pair win rate).
