Sylas Support guide

Sylas support engages instead of hooking from range: Abscond / Abduct (E) dashes in and can recast to pull him onto a target, Chain Lash (Q) slows and hits twice from a targeted point, and Kingslayer (W) lunges for damage and healing, while every cast stores a charge of Petricite Burst (passive) for the next empowered auto.

The build

Rune page: Electrocute, Sudden Impact, Grisly Mementos, and Relentless Hunter (Domination), with Transcendence and Scorch (Sorcery). Summoners: Flash and Ignite. Skill order opens Abscond / Abduct (E) at level 1, then maxes Kingslayer (W) first with Abscond / Abduct (E) second. Starter: two Health Potions, into Sorcerer's Shoes. Core build: Hextech Rocketbelt, Zhonya's Hourglass, and Shadowflame, with Zaz'Zak's Realmspike, Celestial Opposition, and Bloodsong as later options.

Ability mechanics

Abscond / Abduct (E) dashes Sylas to a location, and its recast throws his chains out to pull him to an enemy they hit, delivering him into range twice off one cast. Chain Lash (Q) lashes chains that intersect at a targeted location, dealing damage and slowing enemies there before the intersection point explodes again after a delay. Kingslayer (W) lunges at an enemy with magical force, dealing damage and healing Sylas against champions. Petricite Burst (passive) stores a charge after each of those spells and spends it on his next basic attack, whirling his chains for bonus magic damage while granting attack speed for as long as the charge lasts.

Matchups

Hardest matchups by win rate: Thresh, Leona, Nautilus, Senna, Seraphine. Best matchups: Pyke, Karma, Lulu.
