Understanding how to play against this popular champion becomes essential for consistent Rell performance in the current patch.

How to Beat Pyke as Rell (Support)

The Rell 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 Rell deals remains relevant in the late game. Look for opportunities to initiate or counter-initiate. Pyke deals mainly physical damage (78.82%), additional items against this damage type may be required against snowballing or aggressive play.

An important advantage of Rell is superior vision control (ranked 9th among supports) (versus 34th for Pyke), which provides better map control and safety for the team in important map areas. Meanwhile, their lower KDA (2.2 versus 2.8) suggests they are less effective in team fights.

Key aspects of the Rell Support versus Pyke Support matchup

Despite the statistical advantage in the matchup, overconfidence can be the main mistake. It is important for the Rell 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.

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.
