Key takeaways

  • Current data slightly favors Janna, but the sample is too limited for a strong conclusion: Pyke wins 48.0% of 100 games (95% range 38.5–57.7%).
  • Both champions' overall Support win rates predict 48.4% for Pyke; the result is within the margin of error of that, so this matchup mostly reflects the two champions' general strength.
  • Pyke usually wins the lane: 520 gold ahead of Janna at 15 minutes on average (99 games with a 15-minute snapshot).
  • Pyke players pick Health Potion + Health Potion + Oracle Lens far more often against Janna: 8.9% of their other Support games, 15.0% 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 Pyke and Janna 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 Pyke'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 Pyke Build vs Janna

Usual Pyke build (Support)

76.5% win rate · 17 games

Against Janna

Not enough matchup-specific build data: only 5 of 39 Pyke games against Janna carried a complete build, which is too few to recommend an item path from. Use Pyke's standard build instead.

  • Pyke usually completes Umbral Glaive first, at 14.3 min (median of 66 games).
  • Janna usually completes Moonstone Renewer first, at 13.9 min (median of 59 games).
  • Skill priority: Q > E > W — 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.
