lets start with his passive at level 1 we can be expecting it to do about 63 dmg if sylas picks up a dorans ring (tbh this is not this bad no because one is going to build him ad) his Q does 54 dmg(with dorans) at level 1 slows you and has the potential to do that same dmg again with a slow that increased to 50% fucking 50% his W is a dash that does heals, and does extra dmg to other champs if there low health his E if a dash that shields him (90% ap ratio on shield btw) on his second cast he stuns then knocks them up his ult is the worst at rank 3 he can use the ult he stole every 15 seconds (his knock up is 10 second cd so all you need is a yas ult and there a yas in almost every game) it deals massive damage during laning phase and with his heal he is going to be sticking around way longer than you will either way something need to be done about his overloaded kit the only way i can think of killing him reliable is cc him to death but thats about the solution with every other problematic champing if their not 1v9ing while flying around the map at the speed of light

his W is a dash that does extra dmg to turrets

Ya sure?

his ult is the worst at rank 3 he can use the ult he stole every 15 seconds (his knock up is 10 second cd so all you need is a yas ult and there a yas in almost every game)

Not like you have to wait 200% cd of that ult, so that's 60 secs for yas ult.

either way something need to be done about his overloaded kit the only way i can think of killing him reliable is cc him to death but thats about the solution with every other problematic champing if their not 1v9ing while flying around the map at the speed of light

There is not possible way to 1v9 unless you are fed like god, which is no longer problem of champ, but yours.

His laning phase is weak in almost every match up(mid and top, idk jng and bot). His teamfight potential isn't good either, unless you can steal some dope ult and then you have to wait 200% cd. He is nice duelist/split pusher with his sheen/passive and W outplay potential.

So no, he is not op, nor overloaded, my prediction is his winrate won't go higher than 48-49% at best.

Sound of a player who has no clue on how to fight newly released champion. Relax son, we've seen this shit thousands of times like when Neeko got released.

I been watching sylases getting shat on for 2 days. So... I mean, sure, I guess?

Right now, he is getting rolled. My worry is that because of how bad people are doing with him, he gets a buff and then the real scary part of him comes out, when people get experienced with him. Honestly, the dust needs to settle, but I also think that new champs like this should not be inserted into ranked games right away for this reason. Once people learn to play him and vs then we will see what is really going on. I do think he is overtooled and will be insane once people figure him out, but for right now I don't see it in most games.

This pair of adjacent posts at the top of this very thread encapsulates the problem with Sylas:

weird, all i've seen in matches with him, is him shitting on everyone...

either way, hes new, people dont know how to play him or face him.

but imo, OP is right, he has a super loaded kit. soooo much in it.

on hit effects? yup cc? yep self healing? yup dash? yup sheild? yup hook? yup

wowzers!

If he gets good ults to steal, he's very strong. If he doesn't get good ults to steal, he won't be nearly as strong. Unlike champs such as Ryze and Azir, this discrepancy isn't based on coordinated play vs solo queue; it's just how the ult works. Any given player could have two back-to-back Sylas matches with totally different power levels. It's definitively unbalanceable.
