What decides the support
A tactical read of the support matchup, written from LaneDiff's champion notes: what each champion threatens, and the one thing to do about it before three minutes. It is analysis, not a match sample, so there is no win rate on this page.
Pantheon
support · Lane bully
Wins the early trades outright and has to be punished on cooldowns instead of fought head-on.
Support Pantheon all-ins at level two. Respect the first wave crash and hug your minions.
Pantheon support converts level-2 priority into kills with W; the 2v2 before 3:00 is his best window all game.
Pyke
support · Roaming assassin
Leaves the lane to kill somewhere else, so tracking and pings are worth more than the wave.
He roams mid off every push. Ping when he leaves lane and never step up alone.
Pyke regenerates lost health in stealth and his ult resets on executes; his lane absences are kill attempts elsewhere, not resets.
