    I already knew most of this cause Sylas is one of my mains, but this guide was really nice with good explanations (also !!thanks for mentioning the pro play Q E W max, i was wondering why they did that). So im looking forward to more guides from you :)

    You forgot E + W + E combo, that is by far the best combo if you are ganking other lane or trying to pick someone, its pretty much impossible to dodge the E, and even if they flash out you can E after, I see Bo using that all the time in his VoDs playing as Sylas jungler when ganking

    I'm starting to see some success with Sylas now! Everything says max W first, always take dorans ring etc, and my lane phase was so abysmal I got dumpstered for the rest of every game. I'm winning lane or going even more than half the time with Q max and shield and resolve tree. Thanks for the guide Shok.

    Great guide! I would note a few things that I've learned from playing Sylas and utilizing him as my main. In low ELO I would always recommend the following: Conqueror, Ignite, Q max and dark seal. Why? Because you can use these to basically 1v1 any champion in lane. Just max Q, go for poke with it, then once they're down to 50-70% HP wait for lvl 6, take their ulti and all in on them. Winning lane, and getting 1-2 solo kills early w/ dark seal will make it so you can run the tempo of the game, and roam.

    I personally love playing him AP Burst Assassin Style with Electro and ludens. The damage is unreal. I also like to trap with that build by being super passive the first few levels, which mostly lets aggressive opponents misposition out of impatience. Then I suddenly hard engage with electro. Got so many kills that way.

    Hey! Thanks for the video, I love these in depth guides. Listening to the reasoning behind the choices is very valuable. Would you ever consider spirit visage on Sylas as an MR item against comps that don't have high impact "first" skills you want to avoid but still make you wish you had MR? For example if you're vs a fed Kata + ap supp/jungle.

    • @ShokLeague

    I usually max w first even tho vs ranged because in soloq i find myself in random skirmishes everywhere and the value for w heal so good for skirmishes , also allows you to 1v2 when getting doved. But maybe those are true for me because i miss so much 2nd q hit.
    Love your videos btw keep it up.

    • @ShokLeague
      @ShokLeague  Рік тому

      I think you can still consider 3 points Q and then W max if you feel like that happens a lot, imo Q max feels so good I can't live without it

    Hey shok, what do you think about the new sylas builds now? I'm not sure when to go fs or conq. Is Roa into zhonyas/shadowflame into rabadons a good build path?

    • @ShokLeague
      @ShokLeague  Рік тому

      yeah imo roa > zhonya/banshee/shadowflame > zhonya/banshee/shadowflame > rabadons/void > rabadons/void something like that is good 99% of the time, I think just go conq most of the time it's really hard to FS atm cause there is too much range and you really need tenacity from conq tree as well

  • @softarmor111
    @softarmor111 Рік тому +3

    I always max W first then E and Q last, I noticed during worlds that most sylas were maxing Q first against range match up but I never tried it because max W gives you more sustain and allows you to be a bit more aggressive. I might give Q max first a try and see how it feels!
