Alright, so I recently got banned for being Toxic on my old account, and decided that this was a chance for me to start anew and try out some different champs. As some of the Pros suggest, I decided to main ONE champion and that champion is Sylas my only issue, is that I plan on playing him in bots until I can nail down what lane he belongs into.

Here is what I think so far: Top Lane - Not Enough Damage to Sustain even if you max out his W first.

Mid Lane - Again, Not enough damage to sustain but also severely outranged and prone to CC (Ryze is an especially good counter from what I've seen)

Jungle - Not enough mana or damage to keep him alive to kill jg buffs,

Bot - Outranged, out damaged, out CS'd, etc.

Support - Dies too quickly but he does have the slow and knockup and the ability to steal someone like soraka or Sona's ulti could be useful but I think thats more of a situational thing.

Any suggestions on how to build him / what lane he should be in? I love his kit but I find him extremely difficult to play since he has such low damage and usefulness until 6.

He is meant to be a mid laner that can flex top or jungle.

I still don't understand it, I find his damage output to be minimal until he gets his ulti. But maybe I am just playing too aggressive.

It's not his ulti that gives him his damage it's his build if scales extremely hard and is a mid to late game champion while you farm and play safe early runes I use are tree 1 resolve: after shock,shield bash, second wind, revitalize. Tree 2 domination: sudden impact and ravenous hunter, this build helps focus his strong points which is his shields and heals from his e and w. also Rush sheen it has extremely good synergy with his passive and is a huge powerspike item, after that get last chapter for mana and mana regen, now you need to choose which to finish first ludens or lichbane, I usually do lichbane unless i'm extremely ahead then make your 3rd item death cap and you'll do tons of damage as well as have huge shields and heals.
