Essentially a counterpick. She counters 50% your kit. If you don't ban her, max Q and try to play around her.
Karma
Not played mid often but definitely a terrible matchup. She has burst and range plus she gets shield. Max Q, and only go in for trades when necessary.
Heimerdinger
He will force bully and punish you hard if you trade. Really, just play it safe and make sure he is perfectly set up for a gank.
Viktor
Tons of poke and damage. If you try and fight him, he will just stun you and run away. After 6 it is nearly impossible. Avoid his W and only fight him when he is vulnerable.
Darius
Darius is just Darius. He is designed to stomp melee carries and you are no exception. Try to play safe early, and DO NOT trade early because he will easily kill you. You will be behind in CS but that's ok. If you survive him in lane, you survive the late game.
Garen
Hard to play against, he outdamages you and out sustains you. Silence is long enough for him to OS you.
Vladimir
Difficult to play against, in lane he can out sustain you becoming even more useful the later the game goes.
Yasuo
Hard to lane against due to Yasuo players stacking Lifesteal and out sustaining Sylas. Very bad ult to take if no knockup on team.
Malphite
AFK lane, don't get poked out. Provides one of the best ults late game able to one shot most 2khp targets.
Akali
Akali has good all in potential and outplay potential but falls off if not given anything to play off of so lanes against akalis are always manageable.
Cho'Gath
Cho in a duel loses nearly always as you can dodge his Q's with E1 and his silence does not last long enough to one shot you. In this matchup sylas out scales cho as he can use his ult to scale his HP and become a menace to enemies team.
Zed
Zed generally has no kill pressure against Sylas due to the fact that you can chain Zed after every R allowing you to reverse burst him with your own R.
Qiyana
Play the lane safe. Rock will do more damage if you are low, grass makes invisible patch, water roots you. Stay away from walls, and steal her ult for fights it is very good.
Veigar
His cage is the only ability that stops you. Don't let him hit you with abilities. He can only stack up AP if his abilities hit champions or his Q last hits. His R is good for skirmishes but lackluster in teamfights. Keep his stacks low and don't get hit by cage. Without cage he is deadmeat though.
Katarina
Entirely a skill matchup. Kat is quick and can tear you HP apart. You jut have to player around her daggers and catch her when she least expects it. Use your E2 to cancel her ult, and steal her ult.
Aatrox
His Ultimate gives you more self healing
Ahri
Good because of the dashes.
Akali
Can stick to enemy champs with her Ultimate
Alistar
Unkillable with Alistar Ultimate
Amumu
The best ultimate besides Malphite.
Ashe
Great to start of a teamfight or to get a pick
Malphite
One the best ults to steal. Use it in a teamfight, and you can pretty much win it. Plus, it does an absurd amount of damage.
Galio
One of the best ults to steal. Use it for roaming and to start a teamfight.
Diana
Awesome ult to steal. Great for dueling and teamfighting.
Kennen
Great ult, plus you get his stun passive.
Swain
One of the best ults to steal. Gives you HP, healing, and maximizes damage output. Steal when you have the chance.
Vayne
Terrible ult to steal. Not very good especially since YOUR Q makes you go invisible... which is useless.
Master Yi
Terrible ult to steal, unless you're going off meta AD Sylas.
Zoe
Useless to steal. I guess you could make this work by doing some E2 cheese, but I'd avoid this.
