Sylas' Kit is OVERLOADED and if you can't even slightly agree, you're a Riot slave.

Sylas has one of the most overloaded kits in the game next to the reworked Irelia . Honestly Irelia isn't even that cray cray, now that they took away the bonus shield damage.

He has a slow, an execute style gap closer another gap closer that stuns and knocks up

a dash that shields him an obnoxious fucking heal (who do you know besides a support that has a shield AND a heal???) cough coughTaric Karma You can count Ekko , but he needs to time his ultimate correctly to get a decent heal and his shield is very conditional. You can also count Mordekaiser but his lack of mobility makes up for the shield and the heal.

an innate aoe sheen and a stupid ult that lets him cast an ultimate at least twice in a relatively long team fight The way his ultimate cool downs work make him very effective in picks and less effective in lane

So essentially you have an extremely unpredictable (his ultimate) hyper mobile assassin with too many support like qualities. Fun to play against. Maybe you can deal with him in lane phase but come team fights it seems like total bullshit.

"Anyone who disagrees with me is wrong"

Okay. So... Wheres your hate for camille?

Sylas is just a more vulnerable camille with a little riven thrown in.

LeeSin Camille Ekko Kayle Nunu Udyr Fiora (debatable. Depends if you want to classify Parry as a shield.) Warwick (debatable. Depends on how you want to classify the dmg reduction) Kled
(Getting Skarrl back would technically be a heal)

Based off the requirement of both heal and shield in kit.

His ult power is dependent on the ult he chooses to steal, and if your team has 2 or more ults that are worthless then he has less useful ultimates to work off of, drastically limiting his strength in certain cases.

Here's an example: Say your team runs Renekton top, Ivern jungle, Ryze mid, Twitch adc, and Tahm Kench support, he practically has no "strong" damaging ult to steal, meaning he can only rely on his team and the rest of his kit to do enough damage to kill a shielded twitch through a lot of damage and peel. Heal kill (Grievous Wounds) items can also send a hard right hook into his durability, which strongly comes from his W heal.

The champ has very defined weakness'.

Great way to win support; call all dissenters "slaves." And I don't even care for Sylas.
