Who Wins
- You win pre-6 through superior waveclear and poke with Q, as Sylas lacks reliable gap-closing before level 6.
- Post-6 the matchup shifts heavily in Sylas's favor since he can steal your R for massive teamfight impact while your damage becomes predictable.
How to Trade
- Your optimal trading pattern involves Q poke followed by W charge when Sylas tries to engage with E, then E away to disengage before he can proc his passive.
- Never commit to extended trades as his sustain from W and passive healing will outlast your burst.
Wave Control
- Push waves aggressively with Q to create roam timers and deny Sylas farm, as he struggles to match your waveclear early.
- After 6, maintain neutral positioning and avoid slow-pushing as Sylas can easily set up ganks with stolen ultimates.
Mistakes to Avoid
- Never use R aggressively when Sylas has his ultimate available, as giving him a stolen Galio ultimate creates massive teamfight swings.
- Avoid charging W in obvious situations where Sylas can easily interrupt with E2 and follow up with full combo.
