Sylas' Ult Would Have Fit Neeko So Much Better

In my opinion, it makes more sense because with Sylas changing himself to look like the champion whose ult he steals I feel like it should have been in a kit for someone who can copy identities and having the idea of being a chameleon.

I understand Neeko can only change form of her allies but honestly if she could have changed her form with her W to be anyone it could help her roams much better as she could pretend to be her enemy coming to help.

With the ult stealing ability, let's say Neeko could transform into someone on the map, steal their R, and look like them while using their abilities. So her R could make her be a mirror match to whomever she is facing. If she uses it on a Nidalee on the enemy team for example, she gains the ability to use her cougar form and switch between Nidalee's forms, maybe for a limited amount of time or something or until her passive allows her to change back into Neeko or someone else. And maybe she could do this for allies too, or maybe just allies and actually use their abilities. One of her quotes even is "Life as a Garen is very bland. Just swing sword around", something like that, so she should be able to do more than just auto attack and actually use his E ability.

It was just something that crossed my mind because her ult now doesn't seem too creative and in my opinion she got a bit boring after the first week. I feel like as a chameleon and being able to change into someone the ult stealing would've benefitted her better.

On the outset id agree with you but silas's power to copy the magic of others was pretty baked into his lore in that short story since before he was announced. I also think neekos ult's effect of ensnaring foes would be poetic for sylas considering it's sylas who was ensnared. I also think neekos ult is not exactly solid in her theme but they are what they are i guess.

Neeko copies peoples physical bodies. Not magic... so how would it fit?

Sylas copying appearances isn't what's actually happening, he only does that in game for clarification on what he is actually doing (it's a lot easier to see that he's copying Ez's ult when he actually turns into ez) and because i'd imagine making animations for every ult would be way harder then just doing what they did.

Neeko just stole Nunu 's ult so it's fine.

Also basic abilities from Galio Leblanc Zyra Her entire kit just copies other champs

Would have fit Zoe much more than both of them. Move her current R to her W, then give her Sylas Ult.

his ult is fine, they were lazy on redoing all the animations on him is all, thats why they have the original champion appear casting them.

lux as an example, they could have had him just swing his arms back and smash forward, or have him do the jump in the air, instead they have lux "appear and cast the spell".

to be fair, it would be alot of work and every champ that released after would cause him to need more work, but you can tell they took the easy way out.

Isn't Sylas in lore all about stealing? Neeko more so mimicks looks, she doesn't exactly steal their looks.
