Ziggs vs Pyke Matchup Summary

The Ziggs vs Pyke matchup is a decisive matchup in League of Legends ranked play. Based on 6 recent matches analyzed, Pyke wins with a 83.3% win rate compared to Ziggs's 16.7%, giving Pyke a 66.7 percentage point advantage. Pyke dominates at every stage — from early laning through late game team fights. This consistent advantage makes it difficult for Ziggs 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 418 HP/min — a difference that heavily influences the outcome of trades and skirmishes. Pyke has a strong advantage in this matchup. Ziggs players should play defensively, prioritize safe farming under tower, and look for opportunities created by jungle pressure or Pyke overextending. Avoid prolonged trades and wait for team fights where positioning and coordination matter more. Understanding these matchup dynamics is essential for champion select decisions and in-game strategy when facing this lane opponent.
