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.
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.
Thresh
support · Hook engage
One landed skillshot is the whole lane, and minion cover is what stops it from ever starting.
Play behind minions and watch the lantern. Every trade he wins starts with the hook.
Thresh's Death Sentence into Flay chains crowd control for his whole team; the lantern also turns his jungler's ganks into 3v2s.
