After seeing the new sylas video...

I'm looking forward to try him and all.

But my only question is, who designed that champion? He doesn't seem overloaded for his abilities, but will have to wait and see. Only thing to do is play him myself before i form an opinion about this champion.

For his ulti stealing mechanic he actually has to aim and hit a champion to steal their ult. It seems more fair than a Zoe's W really. But something that's very powerful, i think it should have a long cooldown.

Edit: Just saw the full reveal of the champion. So far it's interesting. But i think my opinion of him not seeming to be overloaded will more or less change into he's overloaded.

  • AOE built in sheen
  • slow (2 slows actually)
  • gap closer
  • leap
  • stun
  • heal
  • shield

Come on Riot, for a champion with such an ulti, remove at least 2 of these. Even though i stand on what i said, i'll have to wait and try the champion myself, seeing the full reveal just made me worried.

Sylas just proves riot gave up, they gave him every tool needed to be broken, also im getting real pissed that every new champ has to add a new mechanic for no reason

He doesn't seem overloaded for his abilities, but will have to wait and see.

3 dashes; a point and click that heals like talons, a riven shield dash, a long range amumu/ camille lockdown.

A long range 2 second slow like urgot q and that passive sheen aoe auto.

A point and click ult stealer on a 15s (9s cooldown - 40% cdr) at level 16.

What's not overloaded about his kit?

His ultimate is point and click.

his healing thingy also does more damage the lower the targets health is, implying its also an execute of some sort btw.

Squad5 was the creator I think.

So if i'm observing this correctly, he might only gain the base damage of the ults he steals, considering his ult doesn't do damage. So people thinking he could one shot people with another person's fed ult, can probably rest easy. EDIT: He's an AP user. 37 sec in the trailer you can see Lichbane's proc.

Im wondering more about the prerequisites for certain ults, or the interactions. For instance, gnar has to be transformed, illaoi's dont do much unless you use your w. What about teemo's? You place only 1 mushroom? Or kayn that has to hit the target first.

If we had a Quick Match or Team Builder mode I'd be happy to buy and try him asap but knowing that it's going to be banned in Draft for at leats a month and fought over in the toxic pit that Blind Pick is... I'm staying away from the game for a while again.
