How to Beat Pyke as Shaco (Support)

The Shaco 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 Shaco 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.

Consider the excellent vision control demonstrated by Pyke, ranking 34th (versus 42nd for Shaco) in ward placement among supports. This means the opponent provides better map vision for their team. Meanwhile, their lower KDA (2.2 versus 2.4) suggests they are less effective in team fights.

Key aspects of the Shaco Support versus Pyke Support matchup

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

Shaco tips:

  • Using Deceive over terrain can help you make a clean escape.
  • Try getting items with on-hit effects. These will also benefit your Hallucination clone.
  • Backstab's damage can be increased with increased Critical Damage effects like Infinity Edge.

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.
