![]() Sylas | Even | 102 | 51% | -172 | -449 | You are going to see this matchup very often if you blind pick Swain mid a lot. Its very important you play your wave state very well in this lane and try to play a 'short' lane with him. Do not mindlessly push the first few waves in unless you have a plan for the wavestate or need priority for jungle sup matchups. Try to trade with him when the wave is on your side and try to stack waves to set up resets to make him trading into you difficult. Try to look for Qs in the lane when he goes to farm minions. If the lane is even post 6, try to look to shove and roam. | |
