Neeko vs Pyke Matchup Summary

The Neeko vs Pyke matchup is a decisive matchup in League of Legends ranked play. Based on 52 recent matches analyzed, Neeko wins with a 59.6% win rate compared to Pyke's 40.4%, giving Neeko a 19.2 percentage point advantage. Neeko 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 sustain, where Pyke leads by 242 HP/min — a difference that heavily influences the outcome of trades and skirmishes. Neeko 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.

Sustain
