Sylas bullies Veigar early with a strong, sustained trading pattern - his chain-lash Q, the W that heals him on hit, and the E double-dash for engage and escape. He can heal through Veigar's poke and threaten all-ins that Veigar, with no mobility, struggles to answer. Veigar must farm carefully and hold E to punish Sylas's dash.
