Maokai vs Pyke

Confidence mediumUpdated Jun 8, 2026

Overview

Control side brush with saplings to deny Pyke's hook angles and protect your ADC.
Use (W) root to lock down targets for your ADC's follow-up burst.
Prioritize river vision and brush control to limit Pyke's roam and pick potential.

Trading pattern

Stack saplings in brush to threaten Pyke stepping forward and create engage windows.
Hold (W) root to punish Pyke's dashes or engage attempts, enabling ADC follow-up.
Avoid engaging without ADC damage ready; peel if Pyke's hook or stun is available.

Danger windows

Respect (Q) hook range from brush or fog; avoid isolated positioning near fog.
Pyke's level 2-3 hook plus stun combo creates high pick threat; hold peel cooldowns.
Watch for Pyke roams after wave crash; maintain river vision and keep ADC safe during his absence.

Early game

Track level 2 race closely and engage only if your ADC can follow your (W)+(Q) combo.
Establish brush control early to prevent Pyke from hiding for hooks or roams.
Coordinate with ADC to crash wave before roaming to keep lane safe from Pyke's picks.

Power spikes

Level 2 unlocks (W)+(Q) combo; use it to threaten engages with ADC follow-up.
Level 3 sapling control solidifies brush dominance, increasing your engage and peel options.
Level 6 (R) enables strong river engages or objective fights; use with vision and ADC readiness.

Win conditions

Convert brush control into denied enemy ADC positioning and secure safe ADC engages.
Use (R) through river choke points to start fights favorably around dragon or objectives.
Ward river and track Pyke's roam timer to punish failed roams and maintain lane priority.

Tip: For Maokai vs Pyke, read overview, trading pattern, and danger windows first for a fast Support lane check.
