How to Play This Matchup
Power Curve
Kayle is strongest late 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.
Sustained vs Burst

Kayle's main weakness: Levels 1-5 extremely weak, gankable, melee early. Play around this to maximize your advantage.
Kayle Win Condition
Survive to 16, become ranged hypercarry, R saves carries
