Sylas can steal the ultimate abilities of different champions for his own use because of too many uncertain factors. That’s why Sylas is also known as the most potent disruptor.
But this isn’t the most formidable aspect of Sylas.
His passive is also very powerful.
Each skill can store a passive, and each passive can enhance a basic ability. Coupled with Sylas’s short skill cooldowns and seamless skill-AA transitions, he can unleash unlimited sustained damage on the battlefield!
There’s even a saying in the gaming community: as long as the player controlling Sylas has fast reflexes, dealing damage equivalent to five players is entirely feasible!
This alone is enough to demonstrate how demanding Sylas is when it comes to reflexes.
And Lin Lan is a speed freak…
Qi Mo mentally rehearsed the battle between the two countless times. He found that this champion is nearly unbeatable in Lin Lan’s hands.
His choice of Galio is for early-game support. Once Lin Lan steals the ultimate ability, whoever casts it first will be at a disadvantage. This forces Qi Mo to be unable to support the bottom lane…
Even if he withstands the 90-second skill cooldown, Lin Lan has Teleport. An early-game Sylas entering the scene regardless of whose ultimate he steals in the bottom lane will become incredibly invincible.
Qi Mo felt a headache coming as he thought more and more. During this time entering the game, he constantly overturned his own tactics, repeatedly practicing. He felt trapped in a vicious circle.
He wants to support. But as long as he takes the initiative, he becomes passive…
He picked Galio for this but got stuck in the mid-lane against Lin Lan…
The only way to change this predicament is to coordinate with the jungle to kill Lin Lan in the early game.
As the game begins, theoretically, a level 1 Galio should be slightly stronger than Sylas. But Lin Lan adopts a very cunning position. He doesn’t stand with his own minions, constantly hovering on the side.
If Qi Mo uses his Q1(Galio)Winds of War: Galio fires two windblasts that deal 70/105/140/175/210 (+75% bonus Ability Power) magic damage.
When the windblasts meet, they combine into a giant tornado that deals 10 (+4% per 100 ability power)% of enemies’ maximum Health (max 150 vs. monsters) as magic damage over 2 seconds. skill to harass him, he won’t be able to harass the minions. Lin Lan will then reach level 2, giving Sylas the ability to burst down opponents.
Qi Mo can only choose to clear minions, wait for the second skill, and then confront Lin Lan.
The moment he made his move, Lin Lan suddenly dashed a segment towards his face. In a swift “swish-swish”, W2(Sylas)Kingslayer: Sylas lunges at an enemy with magical force dealing 70/105/140/175/210 (+80% bonus Ability Power) magic damage.
Damaging enemy champions heals Sylas for 20/40/60/80/100 (+40% bonus Ability Power), increased up to 50/100/150/200/250 (+100% bonus Ability Power) if Sylas is below 40% health. followed by basic attacks, and Qi Mo’s health instantly dropped by one bar.
Such quick reflexes! Such smooth transitions!
Qi Mo was still immersed in amazement when he quickly realized things were not looking good.
Lin Lan’s skill cooldowns were very short, and he could use W to chip away at him.
Moreover, when Sylas activates W, he gains a potent lifesteal. After the exchange, Lin Lan’s health was still very healthy, and he got an empowered basic attack. When using the next basic attack, Sylas would swing the chain in his hand3his Q skill, Chain Lash, dealing damage to enemies within 300 units. Relying on the passive to clear waves was simply extraordinary!
The minions started pushing toward Qi Mo’s side, and Lin Lan was about to reach level 2!
This was a dangerous sign. A level 2 Sylas already had the ability to kill. Once Lin Lan reached level 2 first, Qi Mo would face the choice of death or recall and go back to base.
Qi Mo’s nerves instantly tightened. He suppressed himself, waiting for the next skill, using a Q4(Galio)Winds of War: Galio fires two windblasts that deal 70/105/140/175/210 (+75% bonus Ability Power) magic damage.
When the windblasts meet, they combine into a giant tornado that deals 10 (+4% per 100 ability power)% of enemies’ maximum Health (max 150 vs. monsters) as magic damage over 2 seconds. to clear the entire wave.
The crisis averted and Qi Mo sighed in relief.
He never expected to face an opponent in the domestic scene who would make him work so hard!
He stared intently at Lin Lan’s movements, knowing that the slightest mistake could lead to his downfall…
However, he couldn’t read Lin Lan.
Even with his god-like predictions in full swing, he still couldn’t find any flaws in Lin Lan!
In front of him stood what seemed like a flawless top-tier hunter!
Lin Lan suppressed all his killing intent, waiting for the minion wave to arrive. He last-hit the minions calmly, almost reaching level 2 simultaneously with Galio.
Starting with a casual Q skill, he suddenly dashed forward with the W5(Sylas)Kingslayer: Sylas lunges at an enemy with magical force dealing 70/105/140/175/210 (+80% bonus Ability Power) magic damage.
Damaging enemy champions heals Sylas for 20/40/60/80/100 (+40% bonus Ability Power), increased up to 50/100/150/200/250 (+100% bonus Ability Power) if Sylas is below 40% health. skill after grazing the damage. With W’s lifesteal and the stacked passive, the lifesteal and damage increased. In an instant, Qi Mo realized he couldn’t win this and immediately retreated. But to his astonishment, it was precisely this retreat that plunged him into an unrecoverable situation!
With two stacked passives, Lin Lan spun the chain in his hand, swiftly clearing the entire wave of minions. Then, he headed straight toward the F6 in ENG’s jungle.
Qi Mo: !!!
F6 is a common term for a group of monsters in the jungle, named so because it consists of one large monster and five smaller ones. Each team’s F6 is on the right side when solo-laning in their own jungle, closest to the mid-lane.
After pushing the minion wave, Lin Lan headed straight toward his own F6. Sylas’s short skill cooldowns, the dual damage from the Q skill and lifesteal from W, and the enhanced basic attack stored after skill activation – he could easily clear the F6.
For Qi Mo, trying to farm minions under his tower, there was no way to stop him. Even if he gave up this wave of minions to intercept Lin Lan, could he defeat a Sylas without the protection of the minions?
So, all Qi Mo could do was watch as Lin Lan entered the jungle.
The omniscient commentator explained, “Kiner placed a ward at their F6 when he entered the lane, so he knew the opponent started jungling from the lower half. This gave him an opportunity to farm F6, making ENG’s jungler suffer a bit and causing Kiner to gain a slight experience advantage in the mid lane.”
Lin Lan landed a Q6(Sylas)Chain Lash: Sylas lashes his chains out in an X-shaped area, intersecting at his targeted location dealing 40/60/80/100/120 (+40% bonus Ability Power) magic damage to and slowing enemies by 15/20/25/30/35 for 2 seconds.
After .5 seconds, magical energy explodes from the intersection point dealing 70/125/180/230/290 (+90% bonus Ability Power). skill, dealing full damage, followed by a basic attack, using Abscond to kill a small monster. Combining the dual damage from the Q skill and an enhanced basic attack, he cleared three small monsters.
Sylas is a hero that greatly tests one’s reflexes because each of his skills triggers an enhanced basic attack. Therefore, connecting skills with basic attacks can deliver the highest damage in the shortest time, making it ideal for Lin Lan.
In the recent use of two skills, Lin Lan connected a total of three basic attacks, all within just 1.5 seconds, devouring four small jungle monsters.
After finishing the monsters, he returned to the lane, and the minion wave had just been pushed to the middle by Qi Mo!
Being ahead in experience, Lin Lan wasn’t in a hurry to push the lane. He controlled the minions in the middle since he gained extra experience by clearing the jungle monsters. No matter how Qi Mo tries to control the wave, Lin Lan will reach level 3 before him!
Heavens, isn’t this playing too cleverly?
He actually outsmarted Qi Mo, the old fox!
Bullet comments:
[My goodness, can advantages be gained like this?]
[No way, Qi Mo can’t beat Lin Lan?]
[I think Qi Mo is already playing very cautiously!]
[Is Lin Lan really that powerful?]
[Unstoppable…!]
From the director’s perspective, Qi Mo’s face turned pale. Despite his countless precautions, just because of this tiny gap, Lin Lan managed to gain an advantage again!
He dared not push the wave further, as his health was already precarious. Once Lin Lan reached level 3, even without Ignite, he could secure a kill!
In his mind, Qi Mo quickly started brainstorming. Lin Lan in front of him remained seemingly indifferent, last-hitting the minions. Suddenly, he initiated the first part of his E7(Sylas)Abscond/Abduct: Sylas dashes to a location.
Recast: Sylas throws out his chain in a direction, pulling himself to the first enemy hit dealing 70/85/100/115/130 +20% bonus Ability Power magic damage and knocking them up for .35 seconds. towards Qi Mo.
Almost reflexively, Qi Mo used his E8(Galio)Justice Punch: After 0.4 seconds Galio lunges forward with a mighty blow, dealing 90/130/170/210/250 (+90% bonus Ability Power) magic damage to enemies and knocking them into the air for 0.75 seconds. Galio will stop upon hitting a champion or terrain.
Non-champions receive 50% less damage skill to retreat. However, he realized only after retreating that Lin Lan didn’t use E; it was W9(Sylas)Kingslayer: Sylas lunges at an enemy with magical force dealing 70/105/140/175/210 (+80% bonus Ability Power) magic damage.
Damaging enemy champions heals Sylas for 20/40/60/80/100 (+40% bonus Ability Power), increased up to 50/100/150/200/250 (+100% bonus Ability Power) if Sylas is below 40% health.…
Heavens, did he fall for an illusion?
Galio’s E skill involves stepping backward first and then dashing forward a fixed distance. This process is rigid and cannot be canceled.
During this process, Galio seems quite stiff!
Lin Lan last-hit minions with W, reaching level 3. Suddenly, with two dashes of his E skill, he locked Qi Mo amidst the chaos of the minions. Coupled with enhanced basic attacks and the full damage from the Q skill, Qi Mo’s life hung in the balance!
At the most critical moment, Qi Mo pressed Flash to retreat under the tower, immediately activating W’s taunt skill to prevent Lin Lan from following up with Flash!
His handling of this situation was very skillful, but…
Qi Mo sighed, watching the minions being pushed under the defensive tower. Lin Lan not only dominated in experience and economy but completely overwhelmed him. Even if the jungler helped him, it wouldn’t be enough to beat Lin Lan…
He had undergone a hundred scenarios of practice before the match, and in the end, Lin Lan was none of those scenarios. He was even more intelligent than Qi Mo had imagined!
Before the jungle assistance arrived, Lin Lan had already secured an uncatchable advantage…
Qi Mo’s head began to ache again.
It wasn’t just Qi Mo with a headache; his jungler was also in distress.
The ward Lin Lan placed at the beginning not only stole his jungle monsters but also let Xiao Shengjing know his jungle movements, leaving his upper jungle completely barren.
The most infuriating part was that Xiao Shengjing didn’t show up before level 3, keeping his presence entirely hidden. Qi Mo couldn’t see the opponent’s CS, making it impossible to deduce which jungle monsters he had cleared. It made him feel so uncomfortable and frustrated!
ENG’s mid-jungle was thoroughly dominated, and the bottom lane also faced some discomfort. Dealing with a top-tier bot lane combo like Xayah and Rakan proved to be quite challenging.
Even in the top lane, Sion had a slight disadvantage due to the hero being countered.
The commentator suddenly noticed, “Hey, DT seems to have an advantage across all lanes in this game?”
Despite having a lineup similar to the previous game, a simple lane swap resulted in DT gaining advantages across the board.
This flexible strategy is just too brilliant!
Most importantly, others can’t seem to replicate it!
The commentator couldn’t help but praise DT’s flexibility once again. As the game progressed, the turning point of this match was imminent: the mid-lane was approaching level 6!
Galio reaching level 6 is the biggest threat to DT’s bottom lane. Unfortunately, the bad news is that Qi Mo is a full wave of minions behind Lin Lan in experience, meaning he will at least be 30 seconds late in reaching level 6 compared to Lin Lan!
Lin Lan changed his playstyle, suddenly becoming aggressive. He cleared a few skills, instantly reaching level 6 after finishing the minions in front of him.
Sylas’s ultimate is called “Hijack”. He throws out a chain, stealing the enemy’s ultimate ability and using it for himself, ignoring the opponent’s level.
In other words, even though the Galio in front of him is only level 5, Lin Lan can still steal his ultimate ability to provide full-map support!
Qi Mo suddenly realized the danger. A metal chain pierced straight through his body, stealing his ultimate, and then Lin Lan disappeared from his sight.
He immediately signaled the bot lane to retreat, but it was too late. Xiao Shengjing had already looped around and positioned himself behind the duo.
At first, the audience didn’t quite understand – what use could a level 5 Lee Sin be? Then, Xiao Shengjing lit up the landing area for the hero’s entrance, blocking off the entire bot lane!
Audience: !!!
Where did DT get a Galio from?
Then, Sylas descended, sending ENG’s bot lane duo flying. A smile from the depths of hell adorned his face as he swung the chain in his hand. A “Hijack” stab exploded with damage, directly reducing ENG’s AD to low health!
ENG’s AD immediately used Flash, but Lin Lan, with his two dashes of E10(Sylas)Abscond / Abduct: Sylas dashes to a location.
Recast: Sylas throws out his chain in a direction, pulling himself to the first enemy hit dealing 70/85/100/115/130 +20% bonus Ability Power magic damage and knocking them up for .35 seconds. skill, predicted the location of the opponent’s Flash in the second part!
A long-range chain was thrown from his hands, directly pulling the enemy in. Lin Lan flew over, executing A-Q-A and taking down the opponent on the spot!
First Blood!
ENG’s AD even used Heal, but it still couldn’t withstand Lin Lan’s insane speed and damage output!
Lin Lan’s speed was just too fast; not a single moment with Sylas in his hands was wasted!
The remaining support couldn’t resist for long and was swiftly taken down by Lin Lan, crashing to the ground!
Double Kill!
Only ENG’s jungler remained. He took a glance, then left without turning back…
The commentator, excited to the point of breaking into falsetto, exclaimed, “Why is there suddenly a Sylas! Where is Galio? Galio is only level 5! How is the mid-lane leading by so much experience!”
The entire team fight lasted only 30 seconds. Qi Mo had two time points to intervene. The first was when Lin Lan used his ultimate; he could teleport down. However, at that time, the vision from ENG’s bot lane wasn’t sufficient, and teleporting from the side would only allow for a flank. But at that moment, the flank was practically inaccessible, and his jungler hadn’t taken a position yet.
The second time point was when he reached level 6 after clearing his minion wave. However, by the time he finished the wave, Lin Lan had already killed two people, and there were no teammates left for him to land near.
Even if he had forcefully intervened in the first wave, facing a level 6 Sylas would still be challenging.
The gap between level 5 and level 6 is enormous. Firstly, there’s the natural absence of an ultimate ability, and secondly, the attribute bonuses from leveling are far inferior.
A level 6 Sylas stirring up a storm against a group of level 5 opponents, leaving them completely helpless…
It’s frustrating, knowing it’s his ultimate, yet having to watch Lin Lan use it!
Lin Lan, who secured two kills, left contentedly. He left behind frustrated opponents and bewildered spectators.
This script has completely flipped compared to the previous game!
In the last game, ENG’s mid-laner roamed to the bot lane, pounding DT into near helplessness. But this time, it’s Lin Lan!
What’s even more fatal is that Galio belongs to ENG, so why did a Sylas come flying down?!
Fans of ENG in the barrage were brought to tears: [This Sylas is too unstoppable!]
[Stealing a level 5 ult at level 6, isn’t that insane?]
[It’s supposed to be Galio’s ult, but a Sylas comes down?]
[Qi Mo picked Galio and ended up ruining his own bot lane. Feels like being slammed by your own teammate…]
[Fortunes change.]
[Sylas takes flight…]
