Key takeaways

  • Alistar is favored in this matchup: Alistar wins 66.7% of 66 games, and the whole 95% range (54.7–76.8%) is on the same side of 50%.
  • That is 13.2 points better for Alistar than both champions' overall Support win rates predict (53.4%), so the matchup itself favors this pick — not just champion strength.
  • Pyke usually wins the lane: 596 gold ahead of Alistar at 15 minutes on average (66 games with a 15-minute snapshot).
  • Alistar players pick Health Scaling (flex) far more often against Pyke: 73.0% of their other Support games, 87.9% here.
How we calculate this

Games: ranked Solo/Duo and Flex games on the North America server from the patch shown. Remakes (games under 5 minutes) are excluded.

A game only counts when Alistar and Pyke played the same position on opposite teams, so roaming, lane swaps within a team or a champion merely being in the same game never count as this matchup.

The 95% range is a Wilson score interval. Confidence comes from how wide that range is: within ±3 points is very high, ±5 high, ±8 moderate, anything wider low. Below 20 games a matchup is not classified at all.

Expected win rate combines both champions’ win rates in this lane (same games and filters) with the log5 formula: E = A(1−B) / (A(1−B) + B(1−A)). Matchup effect = observed − expected.

"What changes" compares Alistar's choices in this matchup with the same champion's other games in the same lane, and lists a change only when it is at least 3 points and statistically significant (two-proportion z-test, |z| ≥ 2, 20+ games).

Results are not split by rank: the sample per rank is too small for honest per-rank matchup numbers.

Best Alistar Build vs Pyke

Usual Alistar build (Support)

78.6% win rate · 14 games

Against Pyke

Not enough matchup-specific build data: only 6 of 33 Alistar games against Pyke carried a complete build, which is too few to recommend an item path from. Use Alistar's standard build instead.

  • Alistar usually completes Locket of the Iron Solari first, at 13.5 min (median of 35 games).
  • Pyke usually completes Umbral Glaive first, at 13.4 min (median of 48 games).
  • Skill priority: Q > W > E — the same as usual.

Builds are ranked by the lower edge of their win rate range, not the raw win rate, so a build seen in a handful of wins never outranks a proven one.
