How to counter Sylas

Sylas is a mage-bruiser who heals through trades, chains in with his dash, and steals the enemy's ultimate. He needs to close his short range to deal damage, so you stop him with ranged poke before he sustains, tanky champions that endure his damage, or crowd control that punishes his engage.

  • Vex — Her passive punishes Sylas's dash, interrupting and fearing him right as he tries to engage.
