I understand that Rylais is in need of some nerfs and that most of the community hates this item with a passion but what about the champions that have Rylais as a core item?

Mordekaiser specifically, 20% for 1 second is only going to complicate mordes game, especially after certainly whatever killed him with his "let's make morde an adc idea"

Honestly I feel that the slow nerf is a little too hard and nerfing ap by itself should have been enough, the main problem with Rylais was the fact that it had no downside, tons of health, tons of ap and tons of slows (or like phreak says tons of damage)

Another idea would be to keep the slow at 20% for long range spells and maybe 30-35% for short ranged or melee spells?

Not to play favorites so I'll add other champs that build this item Amumu Evelynn Swain Vladimir Akali Azir Cassiopeia Brand Kayle Kennen Zyra Malzahar and a good portion of those champions have been nerfed way too hard already that Rylais nerf like those will hit them even harder than the abusers of Rylais, just seems unfair to screw over a good amount of champions just because some champions abused of an item:/

Rylais gives too much too safe CC for some champions.

The fact that Zyra can slow an entire team, in an area, while also applying damage and being completely safe in the process, is ridiculous beyond measure.

Rylais Scepter used to be balanced in a time and age, when mana was still a resource that needed careful management on some champions. Back then, opting for this item early on, had the drawback that you would run out of juice quickly.

However, since early S5, we had a steady creep-up of mana regeneration, up to a point where it is a non-issue on most mana-using champions, no matter what they build. With the old disadvantage all but gone, Rylais needs a nerf to become balanced again.
