Is Gwen better when played alongside Sylas?

There is no universally accepted best champion pairing for Gwen that will 100% of the time be her top synergy. However, overall, Sylas is a not very good ally for Gwen. By playing on the same side as Gwen, he decreases their win rate by -3.0% to 45.1%. This clearly indicates that there is a harmful strategic relationship between Gwen and Sylas that results in them performing worse together than without each other.

Sylas has a lower difficulty than Gwen. That means you don't need to be careful when finding Sylas teammates to fight alongside, as they will have to have a lower level of skill to be able to fight well with you.

Playing on the same side, Gwen players should expect to observe an overall large increase in your team’s ability to deal magical damage. When paired, these champs can deal quite a lot of AP type damage.

In contrast, by grouping Gwen and Sylas together, you probably will not be providing your other teammates enough utility. Make sure to have other champions on your team that nullifies this relative disparity in their kit.

Regardless of the ability of your Sylas teammate, you need to focus on increasing your gold income, outlasting your enemies, and taking down objectives. If you follow these simple suggestions, you should do well anyway.
