Malphite vs Pyke Matchup Summary

The Malphite vs Pyke matchup is a decisive matchup in League of Legends ranked play. Based on 21 recent matches analyzed, Malphite wins with a 76.2% win rate compared to Pyke's 23.8%, giving Malphite a 52.4 percentage point advantage. Malphite dominates at every stage — from early laning through late game team fights. This consistent advantage makes it difficult for Pyke players to find favorable windows, so team-dependent strategies and avoiding solo confrontations are essential. The most significant statistical gap is in CS, where Malphite leads by 1.0 CS/min — a difference that heavily influences the outcome of trades and skirmishes. Malphite players can confidently pick into Pyke and play aggressively from level 1. Look to establish lane dominance early through favorable trades and zone Pyke away from CS whenever possible. Understanding these matchup dynamics is essential for champion select decisions and in-game strategy when facing this lane opponent.

Damage
729Malphite
441Pyke
Malphite heavily out-damages Pyke by 288 DMG/min, dominating both short trades and all-in fights. Pyke should avoid extended combat and instead focus on burst trade patterns — short engages followed by immediate disengagement — to avoid letting Malphite's sustained damage advantage take over.
Economy
11,085Malphite
10,304Pyke
Malphite earns 781 more gold per game than Pyke, equivalent to roughly one additional component item. This economic edge comes from a combination of better farming, kill participation, and objective control, giving Malphite slightly faster item completions.
Utility
1.1Malphite
1.2Pyke
Both Malphite and Pyke provide similar amounts of crowd control (0.1s/min difference), meaning neither has a significant advantage in locking down opponents for ganks or team fights. Lane ganks are equally effective for both sides.
Sustain
1,064Malphite
640Pyke
Malphite vastly out-sustains Pyke, healing and mitigating 423 more damage per minute.
