Which supports would you say 'counters' Pyke?

As an avid support player I'm having to face a ton of Pykes in recent games unsurprisingly and I'm quite glad to have realized that Soraka counters Pyke relatively well with an instant AoE silence to stop Pyke from charging Q (which are visually super obvious) and the cooldown of Equinox isn't that far from his Q cooldown anyway. Also her endless heals can really bait his ultimate if timed really well. Another from theorycrafting would be Morgana since her Black Shield which negates both Pyke's hook and stun relies on having the magic shield retain it's shield HP which Pyke really doesn't have ways to lower on his own, meaning with Black Shield both of his CC abilities are useless (except for the damage of course).

Which other supports should counter him relatively well?

The reason why Taric struggles against squishy supports is because of their range. If Pyke delivers himself to him he'll mangle him to shreds. For a pirate it's pretty funny how Pyke is countered by a Big Chest.

Alistair is a very hard counter for Pyke.

Soraka as long as you are facing players who refuse to build exe calling. Cause it's "not in my build"

What I could think of, Lulu, the natural counter of Assassin. Or Leona, who has tons of CC in order to stop him diving.

About Leona: If he dashes through you, E him if you have the right timing you will be able to dodge his stun and engage on him at the same time with your Q.
