Strategy Guide

What To Do

  • -First, Sylas Q is 775 range, while your auto range is 525, so he has the range advantage with his Q poke. Be mindful of this because his Q detonates after at the end, which does additional damage, so try not to be at the end of his shackles when he uses this ability.
  • -In this lane, SAVE YOUR VAULT ALWAYS! Let Sylas use his Chain E on you, and when he dashes towards you, use vault to RETALIATE and push you back.
  • -When you vault from his chain pull, you can indefinitely kite him since his gap closer is gone.
  • -The matchup is pretty easy so long as you don't get hit by his Qs in lane, and you vault to retaliate against his engage in lane.
  • -You beat Sylas pretty hard too because he relies on using his R against champs, but him stealing your R means that both of you don't have a combat ultimate. If sylas steals your R, just inform your team that he has it and might plan a roam!
  • -Play aggro in lane :)

Level-by-Level

L1

If Sylas uses Q on you, vault him because you will avoid the explosion after 0.6 seconds. You hard win level 1, so play aggressive. His Q comes up 2 seconds before your E does.

L2

Sylas will likely level up his E, which isn't a problem because Quinn E can cancel Sylas dash from his E.

L3

Sylas will engage with his E on you, and so you will save your E to disengage from his E in this matchup. When you do this, Sylas will launch his Q, but use your Harrier proc to out run his Q explosion. When his combo is down, re-engage on him because he's useless after that.

L6

Sylas will steal your R to come back to lane, so if you anticipate him backing, don't let him get your R. Most Sylas players don't know how Quinn R works or that it's a channel, so I have seen a lot of Sylas players int with Quinn R.
