How to Play This Matchup
Power Curve
Blitzcrank is strongest early game while Sylas peaks mid game. Play around your power window.
MR Priority
Both deal magic damage. An early Null-Magic Mantle or Mercury's Treads can swing the lane. Hexdrinker is also an option for AD champs.

Blitzcrank Win Condition
One hook wins lane, Q+E+R burst combo, bush control
Sylas Win Condition
Steal enemy ults, W heal sustain, burst combos
