Sylas is honestly just a lazy design - nothing about him is really interesting

Steals your ult

I’ll at least say I didn’t read his lore because I stopped following lore awhile back, so I’ll refrain from that (but let’s be honest, he’s a Sirius Black wannnabe).

The only “interesting” aspect to his kit is his ultimate, which isn’t some novel concept. People have been proposing champions with ult steals for years in concept designs (player base-wise), the only difference is that there’s so much outrageous shit in this game that nobody even bats an eye at Sylas now. So in other words, you’ve just laid out a really boring kit with “shock value” rather than actual zing. Yeah, you’re basically Family Guy. You’re not really even funny or original anymore, you’re just living off old glory.

At least Neeko was interesting though, but still more of the same - le gasp, sneaky sneaky teehee aoe ult wow.

his ultimate is the most complicated abilitiy in the game to code BY FAR. there was so much coding needed to be done to allow this ability to work, it is EVERYTHING but LAZY.

The way to combat the game having too much outrageous shit isn't to release even more outrageous shit. It is to rein in the stuff in the game. Sylas and neeko are what new champions should look like, they have an interesting concept backed by a kit that doesn't completely break the game.

League doesn't need to be original to be great. Hell, a lot of the things that worked to make league so damn good during season 1-3 were things adopted from dota. We need those elements to come back into the forefront, not a new toy every few months that breaks the game once people realize how to use them.

them and also warwick reworked have more counterplay then say zed i mean warwicks clear window of strength/weakness lies in his MS passive (besides ult).

You can literally say this about every champion. Like dumbing down their abilities and then saying they are not unique.
