Personal permaban
Do your best to keep track of which one is the real shaco after he ults (using ignite or bloodsong can help as the effect sticks on real shaco afterwards)
Expect him to get away from your ult with his BS Q
If AD: do your best to not stick around with low hp as he can easily get behind you and burst you down with aa
If AP: simply avoid traps, shouldn't be a problem

Any aggressive ADCs are perfect for pyke as that's where he shines
Keep in mind that your Q and E let's her ult to the target

Champion Build Guide
Greetings
This is my first guide, I tried to share all of my experience with pyke over the years.
Will do my best to update this guide whenever there's a need for that. Be sure to let me know your thoughts, and feel free to ask any questions you might have in the comments and I'll try to respond!
Pros & Cons
Pros

Cons
|
Runes
|
DOMINATION
|
Hail of Blades is your best friend in early game and even later on due to the 140% increased attack speed on the next 3 basic attacks. Be sure to abuse it in early game if possible as auto attacks can be quite devastating. Electrocute Can be also used, however it requires you to hit enemy champion with 3 separate attacks or abilities and is generally more useful for finishing off enemies / putting them in Death from Below's threshold and cannot help you out as much in early game. Be sure to take attack speed in runes with it as it makes procing Electrocute easier.
|
|
Cheap Shot provides 10-45 true damage on stunned / impaired targets if you're fast enough (Can be proc'd with your AA or ability). Sudden Impact Used to give you lethality after using Ghostwater Dive or Phantom Undertow but now it provides your next AA or ability for 4 seconds to deal 20-80 True damage, however it's cooldown is 2.5 times longer than Cheap shot which makes it worse as you get less use out of it.
|
|
Deep Ward is the best rune for supports, thanks to it increasing World Atlas's ward time by 30-45 seconds and giving them 1 extra health (as long as they are in enemy jungle or river (after lvl 9) ). Sixth Sense could also be used, but it only becomes useful at lvl 11 since it works like Oracle Lens. It's not worth picking over deep wards due to it's cooldown being way too long.
|
|
Ultimate Hunter lowers your Death from Below's cooldown by 31 Ability Haste at max stacks and by 6 at 0 stacks, which let's you have it ready for every fight.
|
|
SORCERY |
|
Axiom Arcanist is just Axiom Arc but as a rune which makes it better due to freeing up item slot, keep in mind it DOES NOT INCREASE DAMAGE unless enemy is over execute threshold. You're picking it purely for the cooldown lowering after each takedown, it can save you a lot of ultimate's downtime |
|
Celerity gives you free movespeed while also increasing all movespeed you get by 7% which works with your Ghostwater Dive, Opportunity and boots which can help you close gaps easier.
|
|
Attack Speed vs 6 attack damage both are helpful. In the 2nd you should always pick
as it provides youwith 12 attack damage (1 AD per 14 extra health) instead of just 6 like Adaptive Force.In the 3rd I prefer to take 10% Tenacity and Slow Resist than 12 AD from the health one.

Items
CORE:
|
Hubris |
Opportunity |
Hubris is in my opinion the best 1st item. It lets you infinitely stack 2 AD per takedown, which is easy to do as pyke with your ult. Opportunity gives you total of 26 lethality (lasts for 3 seconds after dealing damage to champions) which scales with nearly all abilities, also let's you chase or run away after takedown due to 200ms it gives
|
STANDARD FULL BUILD:
|
Hubris |
Opportunity |
Death's dance |
Profane Hydra |
Death's Dance is what you want when it comes to getting tankier against AD teams but also anyone in general as it turns 30% of total dmg you take into DoT, which gives you more time to score takedown and cleanse the DoT while regaining some health at the same time Profane Hydra is your best bet on being able to protect base/push waves or helping you secure the threshold on enemy with it's active
|
SUPPORT ITEM:
|
Bloodsong |
Celestial Opposition |
Bloodsong is your go-to support item. It gives you more damage and spellblade effect which enchances your AA to deal more damage after using any ability, it's only 8% more dmg but it's for your WHOLE team not just you. Celestial Opposition is the one item you take before you get Death's Dance if you're getting heavily bursted. It does basically what Death's dance but with cooldown
|
BOOTS:
|
Boots of Swiftness |
Synchronized Souls |
Boots of Swiftness are better overall, as they do not lose move speed and slow resists while in combat Synchronized Souls Have higher move speed but only out of combat and help you get to lane quicker while letting you recall twice as fast. |
GOOD ITEMS:
|
Serpent's Fang |
Edge of Night |
Maw of Malmortius |
Serpent's Fang is a perfect item against teams with lots of shielding If you are getting constantly CC'd then go for Edge of Night Maw of Malmortius is pretty much the only option you have when facing heavy AP teams as the shield scales with AD and not health
|
BAD ITEMS:
|
Youmuu's Ghostblade |
Serylda's Grudge |
Axiom Arc |
Solstice Sleigh |
Voltaic Cyclosword |
Umbral Glaive |
Youmuu's Ghostblade is a bait item, it gives you more ms but you already have enough thanks to your W and boots. Getting more is an overkill and a waste of item slot. Serylda's Grudge used to be good back when the armor pen was scaling with lethality, but nowadays you rarely need it. Axiom Arc is another item that's a waste of slot as there is literally a rune that does exactly the same thing and does not take up an item slot. Solstice Sleigh is not good for you because you're not a tank so getting more damage from bloodsong is preferrable, the cooldown for heal and movespeed is also too high. Voltaic Cyclosword isn't necessarily bad, however there are simply better items to choose from and cyclosword's slow is not worth it when you play pyke since you can easily catch up to enemies anyways. Umbral Glaive used to be core item due to zombie wards and letting you easily deal with wards, however now if enemy is using deep wards it WON'T 1SHOT THE WARD forcing you to hit it at least twice which can cost you your life if you are too greedy. The item cooldown is now 90s instead of 50 which makes it even less useful.
