Rylais is just really broken right now. It's giving better slows them most champions have in there kit. And all the meta mages right now bay this broken item. Remember DFG and why it so removed? It because it was giving much power with no couther play; That's what Rylais is doing right now. Riot, you keep nerfing the champions that use this item and not the item itself. I think Riot should remove it from the game.
Calabok4 votesIt isn't broken. Stop being biased
redfeenix2 votesSolution ? Remove all slows from champion kits to Buff rylais. If you wanna slow someone you must by rylais or mallet now
Jubilee Phoenix1 votesHeres the thing, most champions only have 2 slows in there kit. Now with Rylais all there spells slow. Isn't that great to play against?
redfeenix1 votesI think only cc heavy champs like ash or send have slows in their kit, let alone multiple slows. In fact I can't think. Of a champ with two slows in their kit.... Could you remind me please ?
But I agree rylais makes some champs op af. Esp with spamming skills. A notable example is Cassiopeia. She gets a loooot of utility after rylais as her 1 second twin fang slows
In2TheRainYires1 votesRumble has 2 slows in his kit.

Ultimately, the Slows did get nerfed when buffed Crystal Scepter. Particularly the way slows stack. (i.e. they don't anymore) And that was supposedly holding Crystal scepter back. (Because if scepter slow stacked with the slow from another mage, it would have been way ware oppressive)
I wouldn't think you should simply remove all slows. (That would take away from some of the more unique mechanics form certain champs.) Though I would argue that Crystal Scepter shouldn't completely out shine those champs either.
I see two potential problems. 1) Rylie's slow really is powerful enough to out shine other champs and dictate the meta. or 2) There's not a large enough opportunity cost building Crystal scepter over another item. (too gold efficient, too slot efficient, etc)

Marshbouy1 votesits better than nothing.
ZapMyHeart2 votesConsidering that majority of mages are immobile, Rylai's is a way to counter high mobility champions.
Jubilee Phoenix1 votesThere nothing stopping them from just dushing away. In fact Rylais is doing the opposite of what it's supposed to do.

There nothing stopping them from just dushing away. In fact Rylais is doing the opposite of what it's supposed to do.
So let's buff Rylai's to 99% slow then because obviously it's not doing its job then.
The purpose of Rylai's is to provide some survivability to mages from the onslaught of broken hyper mobile champs in the roster, while keeping their mobility in check. Just because the champion can use their dash, the slow effect is still prevalent, allowing either the mage or their teammates to catch up.
But since you said it doesn't stop them from dashing away, let's slap on a grounded effect for 10s to Ryali's as well.
Jubilee Phoenix2 votesRylais is not hurting mobility champions, it's hurting the immobile champios.

How's that an argument? Generally acquirable slows are better than privatized slows.
Jubilee Phoenix1 votesBut the slow Rylais gives is permanent, the others only is you one slow and have cooldowns.
Votable Jester1 votes
ZapMyHeart1 votesThen you need to buy a Banshee's or QSS if that is an issue with you.
Mages only have 4 abilities to apply the slow with, so the slow itself is not permanent (plus the diminishing effect of CC stacking) unlike the AD versions of Mallet/Gauntlet. A good portion of the abilities are skillshots as well, so it's dodgeable.
Jubilee Phoenix1 votesOk people, if the anti-slow tools work so well, then please tell me why all the meta mages build Rylais?

Looking at the LCS, the Meta mages are basically Viktor and Azir. And when I look at their kits, I simply find that they synergize too well with Rylais.
For Azir, it should be obvious. His sand soldiers apply spell effect on his AA. and as a result, apply the slow constantly. Giving him way better zone control. And for Viktor, it's all in his ult. Since they changed his ult to be more DPS oriented, Rylais became important for keep his opponents in the electric field.
But this doesn't give us the direction of the relationship. Is Rylais being abused because Azir and Viktor are OP? Or is Azir and Viktor being favored because Rylais is OP?
