| Matchup | Threat | Games | WR | Gold @ 15 | Gold Diff | Tips | |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
 Ahri | Very Hard | 684 | 51% | -44 | -66 | Bait out her charm and dont dash until she uses it, her charm will cancel your dash midway negating your heal, go for a kill lane with ignite. Ahri ult is incredibly useful for gap close or limit test with strong escape | |

 Diana | Very Hard | 527 | 47% | -120 | -632 | One of the few matchups where you play aggressive in levels 1-3 since Diana is even weaker than sylas early. Also Take Ignite. Go for quick trades but not auto attack fights until at least 3. Using Diana's ultimate against her is effective | |
 Syndra | Very Hard | 508 | 52% | -53 | -832 | One of Syndra's hardest matchups, she can poke and keep you off minions, if you try to dash she can just e to keep you off. Her ult is not great to steal either since you can only have 3 sphere out of the 5 possible with syndra. Go Q max for this lane, you'll have to lose some cs but stay in range of xp. Respect the lane , if she's popular consider banning | |
 Akali | Very Hard | 496 | 47% | -569 | -1,129 | Similar to Sylas to where she can be tanky and do tons of damage, her not using mana, and pokking you is very hard to deal with. Her ultimate is extremely useful but her shroud is the main threat. Be safe for first 3 levels. Play around it being down and don't hang around the shroud. Recommened to ban this matchup | |

 Yasuo | Very Hard | 480 | 48% | -308 | -1,222 | You lose hard pre 3 especially if they have conquerer, he'll try to poke you as you cs so go around the minions and be wary, Yasuo passive is also rough, use Sylas Q to pop his shield before you fight him. Yasuo Windwall can block your ability to steal ultimates.Yasuo R is great to steal because you can use it off of your own E2 chains. Rush Seeker's armguard first here | |
 JarvanIV | Not Favored | 463 | 47% | -28 | -93 | 💬 No tips yet — Be the first to add a tip! | |
 Viktor | Very Hard | 425 | 49% | +69 | -325 | He scales better than Sylas but the laning phase isn't too bad due to Viktor's long cd's and his passive. You need to play around his gravity field early. Play passive till level 3, Viktor will likely try to kill you before then, after 3 you can go for trades. Go very aggressive and don't let him kite you and go for the burst | |
