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

procatking says “for this matchup runes NO.1,2. are good,D blade.(look for one that fit your game-style).*Favorable for pantheon* Avoid getting hit by his E2(stand behind minions) and punish him when he try to last hit minions. After Abit of pokes wait for him to use at least 1 ability(most preferred W or E) and engage with ignite. When he takes your ult just be ready to follow up or abuse his roam to destroy the lane. ”

Zero macro says “Lux has kind of a hard matchup into Sylas, this is due to Lux needing to poke Sylas to get ahead in lane —> This leads Sylas to engage on Lux with his double gap closer on E —> Sylas E(1) is used to dodge Lux her spell and Sylas E(2) engage on Lux. —> even when Lux Q lands on him during it. He outrades Lux very hard. Lux has to mainly focus on dodging Sylas E(2) while poking him, its recommended to play an aggressive summoner spell —> Ignite. ”

Reize22 says “He becomes a better you with your ult. the only way to beat him is to try to kill him lvl 1/2, open e first look for a trade and if you dodge his E you'll outrade him, after lvl 7 just push and roam because his waveclear is really bad compared to you. Go ignite”
BriarFeetLicker says “The Nasus vs Sylas matchup is fairly easy for Nasus. Early levels can be slightly annoying due to Sylas’s Q (Chain Lash) and E (Abscond / Abduct) poke and engage potential, but his damage is manageable and predictable. Nasus can safely farm Q stacks behind minions and use Wither defensively to mitigate trades. Once Sylas hits level 6, his R (Hijack) can be dangerous if he steals a high-damage ultimate, but during laning phase, Nasus can generally avoid it by respecting his engage range and timing Wither correctly. As long as Nasus focuses on stacking and avoids unnecessary trades, the lane remains safe and manageable.”
EueAmor says “Sylas se expõe muito para poder farmar, facilitando o poke e deixando mais fácil eliminar ele, especialmente com o incendiar, que corta a cura que ele tem no W.”

L0ganJG says “You should be able to kill levels 2 or 3 by starting Q and trading well then all in with W>Q. The real terror of this matchup is he can E2 ( chains ) your Q, which DRASTICALLY reduces your damage. So be careful feeding into that. One of the rare times that building anti heal has value but likely ignite should be enough. Any build works, Spirit Visage is huge vs him. When going to side lane, starting with ultimate is likely a free kill. Be careful of junglers in this matchup, people play towards Sylas often”

danimedie says “Buy Oblivion Orb early. Be careful if he steals your Ultimate; he can use it to heal back to full HP during an all-in.”

Rainbow hater says “Runes: Aery Build: Standard Reasoning: 1. Melee champion zoe can easily harass 2. His e makes him latch onto you in a straight line allowing you to e him. 3. He cant make good use of your ult. Lane: Start e if sylas starts e otherwise start q. Alwats save bubble for when he e's you or misses it. Once you e sylas after he latchs onto you with his e, create distance and harass him with q and autos. Sylas is not good at long trades. However, he can still kill you after he gets his first item even if he misses both his q and e. ”

L0ganJG says “Sylas can burst you down before your healing matters if he’s strong but usually you will W1 to dodge his E then just tear him apart. The real terror of this matchup is he can E2 ( chains ) your Q, which DRASTICALLY reduces your damage. So be careful feeding into that. One of the rare times that building anti heal has value but likely ignite should be enough. Any build works, Spirit Visage is huge vs him.

Amothertruckingunicorn says “Very good at invading, likes your ult, great diver. Your plants block his e and he gets owned by oblivion orb but it's still a harder matchup. ”

heybeyoo says “Early game u stomp sylas but if he gets 3-4 items its getting complicated. He will be so tanky and always have a zhonya in his build so just care about that and try to punish him early on.”

Hazardist says “[[sylas]] is expected to lose the 1v1 against you at all times unless he manages to get fed, which can only happen if you let him [[Gank]] on repeat without trying to countergank him. He's also worse at taking objectives, so you should try not to let him catch you unprepared while you're killing one alone and instead play around ambushes near live objectives. If he [[hijack]]s the [[realm of death]], he can eitheruse it against you or take himself and one of your allies to the same realm as you and an enemy are, in case you both use it simultaneously. If this were to happen, you should focus [[sylas]] to protect your ally as he will have increased stats and be almost guaranteed to win that isolated 1v1.”
MiniBlue says “It can be complicated if he copies your ultimate, don't let him do his combos.”
MiniBlue says “Se puede complicar la cosa al copiar con tu definitiva, evita que logre hacer su combo.”
thermaI says “He will run you down and can easily use his dashes to catch you. He also has enough burst to kill you if fed. Rooting and pushing him with your Q forces him to disengage. ”

KillerI3ee says “Disrupts and steals your ult. Must ban if your support locks in Alistar or Malphite.”
