When playing cooperatively, Sylas players should expect to see an overall large increase in your team’s capacity to destroy wih physical damage. When paired, these two can tear through the other team with a lot of physcial damage.
In contrast, by bringing Sylas and Rek'Sai together, you will not be giving your other allies very much crowd control. We recommend you bring other champions on your team that offsets this relative hole in their abilities.
Regardless of your Rek'Sai ally's skill level, you should focus on maximizing your gold income, outlasting your enemies, and taking down objectives. If you do this, you should do well anyway.
