Problems with Sylus:

After a recent game, this is what several players said about Sylus:

His damage is dependent on his E. Personally, I feel it makes Sylus difficult to read.. which I "kind of like," but it clearly seems like fighting Sylus should feel like being hit by a bunch of different "chain" attacks. Instead it feels like you are fighting one move. "My E is like a Veigar ult" -WutsKrakenM8

He heals a lot. . . . As a Shen player, I wonder why Sylus and Darius get such large heals: I used to have a light heal on my q, that was primarily ineffective. What is with these guys busting out chonka healing, and chonka damage? I lost a tower today because I can't taunt the minions anymore. . . Maybe Shen should have an extra 2 points of damage to compensate for drawing minion aggro early on. "FreeMemeCuisine Chycz: the healing and 3k hp" [he maybe doesn't have 3k health, but he feels indestructible. Ironically, I feel he was more indestructible initially when he was super fragile without his shield and required good skill, and now seems more easily indestructible]

Sylus's early game is weak. This is a balancing tool. Sylus is this guy escaping from prison, whipping the implements of his imprisonment around him. There's a lot of room for ways to balance him better. "WutsKrakenM8 : kat **** 100-0'd me lvl 4"

What are some of your thoughts on Sylus? Is he overpowered? Multiple players in that game were talking about him being OP [more did, even though they used a lot of lewd language.]
