Tips Against Sylas in Mid Lane Tips Provided by MOBAFire Guide Authors

Foxirion says “Sylas’s high mobility and burst damage can be a major threat to Swain, as he can dodge Swain’s abilities and quickly eliminate him.”
michaliis says “Go Dorans Blade. Skill Match up. Outplay him with Q3 dont trade with him he will destroy you. Poke him with Q3 or E W and then all in him.”

Laimaudeja says “[I would use the Summon Aery page in this lane, and start Doran's Ring.] Most of Sylas' damage is in his knock up, so avoiding it is key. To play around it effectively, I recommend surrounding yourself with minions, as it makes it more difficult for him to hit his knock up on you, even if being within melee range of Sylas isn't ideal. Though, once you bully a Sylas to low enough health, you should start maintaining your distance instead as his lunge heals him based on his missing health.”

Yannou-Ari says “Flash - TP - Flat HP. Sylas is a tricky matchup depending the player you're facing. if they're good, they will make your laning phase a nightmare. Your Q is just too slow, he can just E to dodge it and gap-close you and land his chain. I would actually recommend to play super safe in this lane because if you both go 0-0-0, it is to your advantage. If the sylas player is bad tho, this match up turns to easy since you will just be able to one shot him with your combo.”
awawa says “Once again, your W counters his entire existence. But you need to be a bit more careful in this matchup, this guy still does damage if you waste fear or let yourself get poked a lot. Bully him lvls 1-3, but don't get stunned by him or you will get more damage than you've dealt. Have ignite up when fighting him. Get morellos and banshees if he's fed. ”

Snarik says “Really any character that can lock you down and burst you 100 to 0 will be a hard match-up to win, but With good help from your jungler and minimal inting it's still winnable. my personal perma ban since when he's good you can't play the game as long as he's on the map”

BigManYam says “Cancer would personally perma ban into this match up.”

ShokLoL says “Sylas lane is all about dodging his E2. If you get hit by his chain you will almost certainly lose the trade, but if he misses it you can punish him heavily. Stay close enough to the creeps that he can’t easily E you, but far enough away that he can’t just hit both you and the creeps with his Q. Sylas snowballs extremely hard but if he doesn’t find a lead he won’t be too hard to deal with, and you can usually build a small lead in lane as long as you don’t die solo or to his gank setup. Try keep the wave on your side after the initial couple of waves for extra safety. Phase rush is very important for this matchup and play safer whilst it's down. ”
