While statistically Pyke is slightly stronger than Janna as support, neither champion has an overwhelming advantage in this matchup. The winner is determined by player skill and understanding the intricacies of the confrontation. Studying this guide will improve your chances of success.
Except for rare builds, Pyke deals physical damage. Focus on eliminating enemy carries. Meanwhile, Janna deals primarily magic damage (79.70%), additional magic resistance may be required.
An important advantage of Pyke is superior vision control (ranked 4th among supports) (versus 19th for Janna), which provides better map control and safety for the team in important map areas. Meanwhile, their higher KDA (3.3 versus 2.2) suggests they participate more effectively in team fights.
Despite the statistical advantage in the matchup, overconfidence can be the main mistake. It is important for the Pyke player to maintain constant pressure on Janna, not allowing the opponent to safely scale up, and actively use the advantage gained to help their team.
