The bug: after firing Xerath's last ultimate charge, Sylas can basic attack at Xerath's ult range. I haven't tested if this is ANYWHERE within its range, but i auto attacked the enemy xerath right after firing the last ult shot at him (proccing grasp of the undying) at about 6 times Sylas' basic attack range and 3 times Xerath's basic attack range.

EDIT: Video with proof and example.

How could a champion with 140+ unique interactions that mutate as the game changes possibly have any bugs? Sylas is the best idea ever and will be very easy to balance.

Aaaaaah I was hoping to see his arms stretch half way across the jg.

Damn that's a bigger range than ADC autos.

Bug probably has to do with the outward expansion of the ring that is xerath's ult range. After firing off the last shot, that ring starts closing in to signal the completion of the ultimate. With Xerath, this animation is him reverting to his normal state from his "rooted" siege cannon state, meaning he's morphing back and can't attack. But Sylas's model doesn't do that. It allows him to move and attack immediately afterwards, and that range indicator hasn't fully reverted yet. I think somewhere within the range of that reverting ring is considered his actual range until it closes around him completely again. The actual closure takes probably around 0.5s...but that's still plenty of time to pop the autoattack off, and actually better explains why it only works immediately after the shot is fired.

Interesting find. I saw the basic attack damage on xerath and the ??? started rollin'.

I wonder if this bug is only Sylas-Xerath interaction? If we remember the bug(exploit?) that allowed Xerath to fire Q's from fountain down range. There could be other bugs regarding long range ults… Maybe Sylas-Jhin?

I find that point-and-click Half Health heal to be way more bullshit. Such a stupid ability.

Sylas coming out of Elise spider form causes the entire game to freeze for half a second for everybody playing.

Also the cooldowns for Sylas abilities come out with cooldowns, not sure how that interaction works with Elise herself though. I thought her abilities all had their own seperate cooldowns.
