I’ve never played sylas looks too complicated to me lol but just a question- has anyone ever ulted on another sylas on quick play and what happens when u do?

Hi, i have started to pickup Sylas in JNGL and as of right now it feels good but choppy, my clear is not the best and taking objectives feels impossible if your team doesnt have prio.

I would love if some Sylas JNGL mains (high-mid elo) tell me some tips when playing Sylas JNGL that many don't know.

in the first clip we are both equal in everything even health, I land a W E Q combo first then dodge his E With W2 I suddenly panic because I am out of abilities and at his tower so I have to AA once then run back and flash
The W E Q W2 did NO DAMAGE basically according to what he did to me in a W Q AA combo even after missing the E and E2

SECOND CLIP:
I have no W dodge his pull so I accept the trade and Q him then instantly E when he gets close
Its almost like his hp didnt move but when he did E W Q I evaporated

Something's off or just skill issue? Started the game a week ago soo

Hey Sylas mains. I'm a huuuuge Sylas fan, but due to my stupid brother (love him) I'm forced to Duo botlane with him, and I'm absolutely not the support. Now if I can't play Sylas, you can bet your chained cheeks I'm forcing him to play Sylas support. I only recently discovered Sylas support is even a thing, and now I need to convert him if it's the last thing I do.

To entice him I wanna try some fun combos, I was thinking maybe Yasuo would work since both love to go in level 3. But I wanted to ask the real OG's which synergies would work well with Sylas

Played Sylas jungle few matches, in latest match I 1vs1 Shyvana who did not have or use ult, Shyv was fighting a blue in his jungle when we fought. Shyvana kicked my ass without ult, same lvl same cs about equivalent gear. I had omnivamp boots with 6% omnivamp, gunblade 10% omnivamp and conqueror which equals 8% healing, pressed every button but ulti and couldn't match shyv. Soo got ass kicked by Shyvana who didnt have ulti up, came up with following question.

What jungler matchups can Sylas win 1vs1, if lvl, cs, gear is equivalent?

Hey everyone,

I started playing League around 2 weeks ago and began in Bronze 3. I've tried a lot of different champions and roles so far—started in mid, switched to top, and now I'm back to mid again.

After trying a bunch of champions, I found that Sylas is by far the champion I enjoy the most, so I've decided to OTP him. The problem is that I'm currently bouncing between Bronze 4 and Bronze 3 and can't seem to climb any higher.

In a lot of my games, I feel like I'm carrying pretty hard on Sylas. I often get fed, win lane, and have a strong impact in fights, but it still doesn't consistently translate into wins.

​

So I have a few questions:

​

-What are the biggest things low elo Sylas players should focus on to climb?

​

-How do you actually solo carry games when you're ahead?

​

-Would you recommend sticking to mid lane or switching to jungle if my goal is to climb as efficiently as possible with Sylas?

​

-Are there any common mistakes Bronze players make that keep them from converting leads into wins?

​

Any advice would be appreciated!

I am trying to learn sylas jungle and my first clear is just so slow. I have been trying to do the raptors start to recall, and I'm never at scuttle on time, and same with starting w a buff and going normally. I am trying to watch videos and I definitely don't have the pinpoint precision that many of these optimized clears have, but I feel like I should be able to get somewhat close, and I'm just not there.

Does anyone have any resources they recommend or tips to try to improve my first jungle clear w this champ? TY!

I don't know if this is a well-known bug, but I thought I'd make a post about for those who don't know.

So currently there is a bug with Kayn ult on Sylas, and you can't use the ultimate. The bug happens when you hijack Kayn ult, and Kayn hasn't leveled up the ability, than the game won't allow you to use it. You can still hijack his ult, you just won't be allowed to use it. So if you hit level 6 and see a Kayn lvl 5, there is just no point hijacking it, cuz it won't work. Even if Kayn is level 6, but for some reason hasn't put a point in his ult, you still won't be allowed to use it.

It has happened to me in 2 games, where the fights outcome was negatively impacted. That's why I went into practice tool to see what the fuck is up.

I have reported the bug to Riot, but I thought I should also share it with you guys, so you can avoid it in your games, before Riot hopefully fixes this random annoying bug

Title. Is Sylas with Malphite ult so good it is worth for me to accept playing against it so we can have the best engage in the game on a real champion.

How do you guys feel about the akali matchup? For reference I am gold IV stuck and really struggle to find openings to trade with her. Akalis I play against do a good job of saving their shroud for my all in and therefore make it so I can’t land my w. I can’t really bait out the shroud either as it seems I don’t really have a means to do so with Sylas’ kit

When I do have an opportunity to trade, her kit just feels like she bursts me down extremely quickly. The matchup feels unplayable. There’s definitely something I’m missing but in the meantime, I’ve just been banning her.

Does anyone have any tips to laning against her as sylas?
