By locking into the same side as Sylas, he improves their win rate by 0.7% to 49.7%. This clearly indicates that there is not really a strong bond between Sylas and Amumu that allows them to perform at the top of their game together than without each other.

Amumu has a lower difficulty than Sylas. That means you don't need to be careful when finding Amumu allies to fight alongside, as they will have to have a lower level of skill to do well with you.

Playing together, Sylas players should observe an overall large increase in your team’s capacity to deal magic damage. Together, these champions are able to dish out a surprising amount of magic type damage.

Although, by bringing Sylas and Amumu together, you will not be giving your side much anti-tank damage dealing potential. Plan to include other champs on your team that offsets this relative disparity in their abilities.
