Statistical Matchup Analysis

Pyke dominates the meta (9th most popular, 6.4% pick rate) and regularly clashes with Shaco (2.0% pick rate). Understanding this common matchup forms the foundation of consistent gameplay for one of support's current powerhouses. Meta strength confirmed: Pyke's superior tier rating (B+ vs D) translates into a solid 52.7% matchup win rate. This performance explains why Pyke ranks 36th in win rate among Support champions. Optimize for consistency: Hail of Blades paired with Cheap Shot (47.2% win rate, 69.2% popularity) provides the stats you need, while the item sequence Umbral Glaive > Youmuu's Ghostblade > Edge of Night with Symbiotic Soles delivers 70%+ win rate against Shaco.

Total map control: Pyke dominates both the matchup and vision control (0.96 vs 0.77 wards/min). Your extra 0.19 wards/min create massive macro advantages for your entire team. Quality over quantity: Pyke wins through smart play rather than raw damage - despite lower DPS (412 vs 678/min), the 52.7% win rate shows superior utility, positioning, and team fight impact. Intriguing anomaly: Pyke wins the matchup (52.7%) despite a lower KDA (2.20 vs 2.40). This suggests you win through macro influence and clutch plays in key moments rather than consistent individual performance.

How to Beat Shaco as Pyke (Support)

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

Except for rare builds, Pyke deals physical damage. Focus on eliminating enemy carries. Shaco has mixed damage, be careful as it may be harder to defend if the opponent gets ahead or plays aggressively.

An important advantage of Pyke is superior vision control (ranked 9th among supports) (versus 46th for Shaco), which provides better map control and safety for the team in important map areas. Meanwhile, their higher KDA (2.4 versus 2.2) suggests they participate more effectively in team fights.

Key aspects of the Pyke Support versus Shaco Support matchup

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 Shaco, not allowing the opponent to safely scale up, and actively use the advantage gained to help their team.

Pyke tips:

  • Pyke is very fragile so don't be afraid to temporarily run from a fight. You can regenerate a significant amount of health from Gift of the Drowned Ones when enemies can't see you.
  • Hitting an enemy with the Hold version of Bone Skewer will always pull them the same distance. Use it in melee range to throw targets behind you.
  • The Tap version of Bone Skewer is much faster and deals additional damage.
  • A lot of your agressive spells are also your escapes. Make sure you always have a plan to get out of the fight.

Playing Against Shaco

  • If Shaco is doing well early-game, it is worth the investment to place Stealth Wards near his Jungle camps.
  • If Shaco uses Deceive to enter a fight he won't be able to quickly use it again to get away. Work with your team to quickly focus him down.
