How to Beat Pyke as Lulu (Support)

The Lulu versus Pyke matchup as support is favorable with proper positioning. Use your statistical advantage and prevent the opponent from realizing their potential.

The magic damage that Lulu deals remains relevant in the late game. Look for opportunities to initiate or counter-initiate. Pyke deals mainly physical damage (77.16%), additional items against this damage type may be required against snowballing or aggressive play.

Consider the excellent vision control demonstrated by Pyke, ranking 9th (versus 26th for Lulu) in ward placement among supports. This means the opponent provides better map vision for their team. Meanwhile, their lower KDA (2.2 versus 3.3) suggests they are less effective in team fights.

Key aspects of the Lulu Support versus Pyke Support matchup

Despite the statistical advantage in the matchup, overconfidence can be the main mistake. It is important for the Lulu player to maintain constant pressure on Pyke, not allowing the opponent to safely scale up, and actively use the advantage gained to help their team.

Lulu tips:

  • Glitterlance can be fired at odd angles depending on where your cursor is - Moving your cursor closer to Pix and Lulu will change your area of effect size considerably.
  • Consider casting Help, Pix! on ranged attackers for the Pix boost and Wild Growth on Tanks or Fighters for the added initiation power.

Playing Against Pyke

  • Pyke regenerates a significant amount of damage he has taken from enemy champions, but only when you can't see him!
  • When Pyke is hidden nearby in his Ghostwater Dive, sharks will circle underneath your feet.
  • Try not to stand near low health allies. If Pyke executes them using Death From Below, you might be next on the list.
