Sylas vs Irelia in Mid lane is a lane to avoid on patch 26.14. The one thing to respect: deny her Q resets — kill the low-HP minions she'd dash to, or she snowballs straight through you. Below is the exact page the OTP runs — runes, skill max order, summoner spells, item build and the four tips that decide the lane, plus a quick quiz before you lock in.

How to play it

✓ DO

Deny her Q resets

Use your Q to finish the low-HP minions she'd jump to — deny Bladesurge before she can reset it onto you.

Rush early Bramble

Take an early Bramble Vest to blunt her sustain — if she finishes Wit's End you will never kill her 1v1.

Stolen R combo

If you steal her R, cast it then Flash — it resolves where you land for a faster combo.

✕ DON'T

⛔

Never try to 1v1 her without Ignite — she crushes you at level 1 and again once she finishes Botrk.
