Any changes considered for this champ?

I feel his winrate is low more because of his ult then his actual kit, as he is actually rather decent with just his powerful basic abilities, but rn, the meta is more focused around champs that have fairly weak/conditional ults, which really hurts him, with Kaisa being the most picked champ in the game rn followed by things like Xayah and Ashe and even Yasuo and Ryze hell even Fiora, he cant really get away with many ults, he's usually limited to what he can pick which has a rather long CD, however, I feel riot should be very cautious about buffing him if at all, esp with a meta change happening soon (trust me, his base kit is rather strong, he has the damage to bring down juggernauts like garen and darius rn)

If we fall into a meta where champs like MissFortune Chogath or even Zyra start becoming far more common, i feel his winrate will shoot up immensely due to the power behind those ults

Considering his kit is toxic, he should live at no higher than a 45% wr.

Well considering Riot's allergic to making itemisation for AP fighters, he's going to be like that for a long ass time.

to play sylas perfectly u need mastery of every champion, of course his overall winrate is going to be low if he is actually balanced. But yea, riot did over nerf him, and i think they are going to buff him next patch

I doubt they will this soon after release.

They made him extremely hard to balance; Too many heals; people complain. Too little Q damage: Useless champ. Low Cooldown Ult? Broken.

High Shield E? Hell no.

Right now he's one of few champions who can literally 1 shot before buying items with Q. Purely toxic before about level 8.

However.... after fights become 2v1, he becomes a coward and dies for the rest of the game.

Go 10/0 and then end up 12/14. Literally. All because he can't have a Shield/Heal kit while also 1 shotting.
