917Sylas
Mordekaiser heavily out-damages Sylas by 103 DMG/min, dominating both short trades and all-in fights.

Economy
11,267Mordekaiser
11,180Sylas
Mordekaiser and Sylas generate nearly equal gold per game, with just a 87 gold difference. Neither champion has a clear economic advantage, so gold leads will depend on individual play quality, kill participation, and objective contributions.

Sustain
