IntroWelcome to my guide, I am Duckie I am a Pyke OTP and I am here to teach you how to play Pyke 
I am a support main that has been playing League for around 8 years now and in those 8 years I only played on the EUNE server and my rank is at the moment gold 3 but last season I was platinum 3.
I have chosen Pyke because I have been playing him since the day he was released and since then I mostly only played Pyke and I have a lot of knowledge about this champion, his combos and his potential.
Pyke's cons is that he can one shot the squishy supports with only Duskblade early game but not the midlaners because most of the mythic items give them around 400HP which can make them look tanky for Pyke's potential. With Pyke you can snowball your lead sience you have the ablity to DOUBLE the ammount of gold you can get from one fight. Pyke can roam quite fast sience his W gives him 40% movement speed and mobies give 140 movement speed. You usually want to roam when your adc pushes the wave and you can't kill the enemy bot. At level 2 is your biggest power spike when you reach level 2 you should walk up and try hooking the enemy into you and landing the stun.The cons of pyke is that he is very squishy and he can easliy get oneshotted by most of the midlaners and carrying junglers like Master yi, Viego, Shaco. Another weakness of his is whenever his W or E are on cooldown he is easy to catch, so becareful when you use them.
﻿
Runes (Loadout)The first page that you see everyone goes and it is good, but I prefer the second one because I always end up using all of my mana and 90% of the champions that are in meta  right now have a way to CC you.

My personal choice 
Summoner Spells (Loadout)I recommend Flash with Ignite most of the games, BUT if they have a lot of burst you could also take Exhaust
Summs
Skill PathThe standard Skill Path for Pyke is to max Q into E into W, but if you want to go more for the roams you could also go Q into W into E.

Item BuildsThe usual build for Pyke is the AD support item Duskblade Mobies Umbral Yomuu and I personally like Vigilant Wardstone because warding as a suppose is KEY for you to win a lot of games. If they have a lot of CC you could opt in for Mercury instead of Mobies. If the enemy team drafts a lot of AD you could also pick yourself Death's Dance/Dead Man's Plate and if they have a lot of AP you should opt in for a Maw of Malmortius
Build
Matchups and Synergies﻿
New Group
Usually with Soraka you just want to focus her and later on buy antiheal.
Morgana is one of those champs that if her E is up your hook becomes useless so try baiting our her E and building Mercs.
Usually you just want to dodge her bubble and focus her most of the time in fights because her E/W are a way to stop you
Whenever he wants to use his W on you, you can press E  away from him and cancel his W and he might get stunned.
If you are trying to look for a hook and you see that Braum is staying infront most of the times you want to hook the ADC since Braum will most of the time jump infront of the ADC with his W.
You want to dodge her Q and take care of the bonus AD she gives on her Shiled (E).
Try not to get poked by her R+Q combo and be carefull on what champion you hook because her shiled is quite strong with her R+E combo.
Whenever the Leona wants to E you, you can wait for the blade to hit your character and you can press E to move her with you in the tower or where you can.
Against Lulu you want to be careful with your ultimate because your ult can be cancelled by her ult and you will not be able to execute the person she ulted.
Sone is quite easy to play against you just want to calculate her MS whenever she pressed E.
With Lux you just want to avoid her E and not get poked a lot in lane and also when you are going in with your hook try dodging her Q.
When Rakan pressed W to go in on you, you can also press E, away from him and stun him with you E
Against Senna you might find it troublesome because her E can give her a lot of MS and she can dodge your hook.
Seraphine has a pretty long range with her Q and E but avoiding those two when you are chasing her can get you a pretty easy hook.
Be careful when you want to execute him because his Q has almost no cooldown when he auto-attacked a minion or a champion and your R can go to waste into a Taric.
When Thresh throws his hook on you and you get hit there is a little trick if you a little bit of Tenacity (around 30%). When he takes his Q you can press E away from him and drag him with you and also stun him.
When she gets down to get mana from her passive try casting your hook OR go in on her ADC with your E so in that case she might get stunned.
When you see Zilean or someone around Zilean executable with your ult do not rush it. Wait for the Zilean to press R on someone and either wait for the ult to expire or just kill him.
Against Zyra you want know her timing on her abilites so that she doesn't dodge with her plants
