View detailed statistics below: items, runes, and counter builds for Pantheon Support vs Pyke Support in patch 15.15 (25.15), including win rates and pick rates. With proper study, this can improve your chances of victory up to 74.2% in this matchup.

Statistical Matchup Analysis

With 2.8% popularity, Pantheon constantly encounters meta-dominant Pyke (6.2%, 10th place out of 51 Support champions). Understanding how to play against this popular champion becomes essential for consistent Pantheon performance in the current patch. Every edge matters: In this tough matchup, the proven Electrocute + Sudden Impact combination (75.5% win rate) plus optimal itemization Eclipse, Black Cleaver, Blade of The Ruined King, and Symbiotic Soles boosts your chances from 47.7% to 74.2% - potentially game-changing.

Vision advantage: Despite losing the direct matchup, Pantheon's superior warding (0.91 wards/min, 18th among supports) can swing team fights and objectives in your favor. Damage doesn't equal wins: Pantheon outputs more damage (632 vs 444/min, 2nd place) but still loses the matchup. The issue likely lies in survivability, mobility, or damage timing rather than raw output. Complete dominance by Pyke: leads in both matchup win rate (52.3%) and KDA (2.20 vs 2.00, 41st vs 48th place). Pantheon players need exceptional preparation to overcome this counter-pick.

How to Beat Pyke as Pantheon (Support)

Difficult matchup requiring deep understanding of game mechanics and flawless execution. Patience and proper macro play are the keys to victory in this confrontation.

Except for rare builds, Pantheon deals physical damage. Focus on eliminating enemy carries. Pyke deals mainly physical damage (78.11%), additional items against this damage type may be required against snowballing or aggressive play.

An important advantage of Pantheon is superior vision control (ranked 18th among supports) (versus 23rd for Pyke), which provides better map control and safety for the team in important map areas. Meanwhile, their higher KDA (2.2 versus 2.0) suggests they participate more effectively in team fights.

Key aspects of the Pantheon Support versus Pyke Support matchup

In this difficult confrontation, it is critically important for the Pantheon player to avoid attempts to force trades and all-ins with the Pyke player, as the matchup requires a patient and calculated approach. Extended trades without clear tactical advantage often lead to unfavorable consequences, and ignoring opportunities to receive team support can be a fatal mistake for game progression.

Pantheon tips:

  • Mortal Will activates after 5 spells or basic attacks - plan your way through fights to allow you to activate it more than once.
  • Whittle the enemy down with Comet Spears before you jump in.
  • If an enemy is going to get out of range of your Aegis Assault, you can recast the spell to immediately fire the shield slam.

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.
