How to play it

Dodge his E
His E (Abscond) is his whole engage: dodge the dash with your W and there's nothing left for him to run you down with.
Kill him before 5
Sylas is easiest to kill before level 5: trade aggressively and force an all-in around level 4, before his W is fully online.
His W heals it back
Never grind out a poke war: his W heals back everything you trade, and once he has 3+ points in W you lose most even trades.
Never sit in a prolonged trade once his W is leveled: he heals back all your damage and flips the all-in with Conqueror.
