Key takeaways

  • Current data slightly favors Aatrox, but the sample is too limited for a strong conclusion: Sylas wins 36.0% of 25 games (95% range 20.2–55.5%).
  • Both champions' overall Jungle win rates predict 47.8% for Sylas; the result is within the margin of error of that, so this matchup mostly reflects the two champions' general strength.
  • Sylas players pick Cosmic Drive far more often against Aatrox: 3.0% of their other Jungle games, 16.0% here.
How we calculate this

Games: ranked Solo/Duo and Flex games on the North America server from the patch shown. Remakes (games under 5 minutes) are excluded.

A game only counts when Sylas and Aatrox played the same position on opposite teams, so roaming, lane swaps within a team or a champion merely being in the same game never count as this matchup.

The 95% range is a Wilson score interval. Confidence comes from how wide that range is: within ±3 points is very high, ±5 high, ±8 moderate, anything wider low. Below 20 games a matchup is not classified at all.

Expected win rate combines both champions’ win rates in this lane (same games and filters) with the log5 formula: E = A(1−B) / (A(1−B) + B(1−A)). Matchup effect = observed − expected.

"What changes" compares Sylas's choices in this matchup with the same champion's other games in the same lane, and lists a change only when it is at least 3 points and statistically significant (two-proportion z-test, |z| ≥ 2, 20+ games).

Results are not split by rank: the sample per rank is too small for honest per-rank matchup numbers.

Best Sylas Build vs Aatrox

Usual Sylas build (Jungle)

78.2% win rate · 55 games

Against Aatrox

Not enough matchup-specific build data: only 4 of 15 Sylas games against Aatrox carried a complete build, which is too few to recommend an item path from. Use Sylas's standard build instead.

  • Aatrox usually completes Scorchclaw Pup first, at 0.2 min (median of 21 games).
  • Skill priority: W > E > Q — the same as usual.

Builds are ranked by the lower edge of their win rate range, not the raw win rate, so a build seen in a handful of wins never outranks a proven one.
