My Duo and I have been playing Pyke ADC with Alistair support and it has been going concerningly well. We are in low ELO so that is definitely contributing. Since I've mostly played Pyke support I lack experience in how to itemise Pyke for ADC and when to make certain purchases. Would love to know what items you should prioritise building, what the early buys are and if you have any other suggestions for supports that could pair well with ADC Pyke would love to hear it!

For reference I have been rushing Ionian Boots of Lucidity and going straight to Ghost blade. I will generally just start building his normal lethality items after that.

I did see on an older Davemon video that you should build serrated dirk first item when ADC or mid. Would love if someone could confirm if this is a good idea instead of rushing boots first as well. Obviously damage is the main issue as an ADC Pyke so maybe this will help in the early laning phase.

My duo also believes it's better to go Doran's blade for the extra damage but all guides I see say to go Doran's shield. Is it better to go Doran's Shield over Doran's blade?

Thanks!
