Key takeaways

  • Current data slightly favors Sylas, but the sample is too limited for a strong conclusion: Sylas wins 55.0% of 309 games (95% range 49.4–60.5%).
  • That is 6.4 points better for Sylas than both champions' overall Mid win rates predict (48.6%), so the matchup itself favors this pick — not just champion strength.
  • Neither side reliably wins the lane: the average gold difference at 15 minutes is 58, within the margin of error (133 games).
  • Sylas players pick Conqueror far more often against Galio: 50.7% of their other Mid games, 72.4% 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 Galio 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 Galio

Usual Sylas build (Mid)

78.6% win rate · 28 games

Against Galio

Not enough matchup-specific build data: only 13 of 57 Sylas games against Galio carried a complete build, which is too few to recommend an item path from. Use Sylas's standard build instead.

  • Sylas usually completes Hextech Rocketbelt first, at 11.4 min (median of 89 games).
  • Galio usually completes Hollow Radiance first, at 11.9 min (median of 66 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.
