Additional Sylas Build Insights

LoL Sylas players will find him to be a complex character to build out properly. You'll notice that his build changes when he is up against either generic or highly focused team comps, indicating you should not choose the same Sylas build every round of League of Legends

The most critical items to include in your champ's build are: Luden's Tempest, Rabadon's Deathcap, and Shadowflame. Those who added these pieces in their builds had a much better win rate than players who utilized other Sylas builds. Likewise, if you are playing a mixed enemy team composition, you should strongly consider getting him the Precision, and Inspiration runes. In recent matches, he won the greatest fraction of his rounds when built with these runes.

We calculated our Sylas build suggestions by examining 94,868 recently ranked LoL rounds with him in them. We only advise the top winrate Sylas builds that were used by ranked gamers enough times for us to advise them. With so many games in our data, we are quite confident in our recommended builds.
