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

GreenReapers says “Any page viable. Not that playing with Conqueror makes this matchup easier due to you being able to win long trades, but isn't necessary. Long Sword start. His W heal makes it necessary to play with Ignite. Early game is rough, since he can chunk you hard with his E + Electrocute and his Passive gives him very strong extended trades, but if you manage to not give him too much of a lead till 6/your first item, you can outplay him. Dodging his second E is very important throughout the whole game. If you ult first you can control where he comes out if he mirrors your ult by swapping, so hitting your q's will be really easy. He won't be able to swap back for 0.5 seconds!”

orka4.sandraj says “Try to focus on farming and baiting him uner your tower. His melee attacks are stronger than yours most of the time, and dont let him steal your R when he is fed, because your R is op.”

Shifty says “A lot of players will pick Sylas into Corki. Corki wins this lane. Just try to dodge his stun and the rest is easy.”

MetalK1d says “Sylas has high damage and he is very tanky but it is not that hard to 1v1 him just take short trades and all in him when he is almost cooked.”

MelodiesOfLIfe says “He can take your ult, which is very terrifying given he can kill you easily with his entire kit. Play safe and always poke him from far away, no matter how confident you are because he can just heal it all away with his kit. I rely on ganks on this one too buster. I take ignite but TP is welcome too.”

SkandalloTV says “He has higher base damage and healing in early game. Try to farm from far. If you ever go in, use W instantly to reduce his burst damage. Irelia's ultimate is great for him. I usually ban him if ever someone in my team hovers another champion with great ultimate, like Malphite, Soraka, Bard, etc.”
otaliz says “Since he's a melee champion, he'll only win trades if he gets melee with you, so don't let him jump on you with his E. Sylas is only an extreme threat because of his ultimate, which can copy Twisted Fate's ultimate and have the same presence on the map and follow your roaming. Try to push the wave as much as possible from level 6 to make him decide to either follow the roaming, or farm the wave.”
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.”

Yomu 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. Be careful of W1’ing towards him and getting everfrost chain cc’d to death ”
Briar by Yomu | Briar Player
DarkMareOfficial says “Besides his melt damage, it can be quite lethal if he steals your ultimate in teamfights and he does not get taken down fast enough before he uses it.”
gnarz says “Really easy matchup for you, if he is picked in jungle, and not on midlane.”

huncho1v9 says “Easy matchup. Lots of outplay potential with your E and W. Sylas might look for a level 3 invade, but it’s very easy for you to outplay. Sylas is a jungler that relies on snowballing heavily, if he doesn’t get a successful early gank off, you automatically have a level lead + cs lead against him and can run him down.”
Foxirion says “Sylas can be a moderate threat to Viego. His ability to steal Viego’s ultimate and his healing from his W can make him a tough opponent”
[14.8] Viego, The Ruined King [Full Guide] by Foxirion | Viego Player
huncho1v9 says “- Easy/Annoying matchup. This matchup can be super easy, or annoying if he gets ahead. Sylas can’t match your clear at all so he’s gonna look for early ganks. If he can’t get any early ganks off, you automatically have a big lead over him. If your laners don’t respect his early ganks this matchup can actually be hard if he gets kills, because you have to respect his early game damage/burst. Sylas has a level 3 cross map invade window, but it’s rare for sylas to go for invade rather than gank. Conq is favoured in this matchup.”

lanefox says “Very strong duels and burst. Stealing the enemy ult means he can pull out some unexpected solutions if you're not paying attention to the chat feed. Most of the time, you have to whiff some abilities in order to win. Unlikely to be an even fight.”
Clever Master Yi (14.6) by lanefox | Master Yi Player
youenn says “Very squishie , he d'ont have a good first clear jgl just invade him early game .”
Mignognium says “Le personnage est devenu ok en Jgl avec le patch et le nouvel item mage. Après Sylas reste ok pour Viego car facilement anticipable en fitgh. Attention tout de même Sylas reste un champion impossible à 1v1 si il prend une bonne action dans la partit. Il faut soit vous prendre les bonnes opportunités soit lui empêcher de les avoir. ”
