(Unpopular opinion) But for the good of the game, Sylas needs to be deleted

I seriously don't see how Riot thinks this is okay to put this champion into the game.

Or how he was worked on past the drafting process.

This champ is an unbalanceable nightmare. He will cause League to be even more tilting and frustrating. League is already a shitshow with Runes Reforged, horrible balancing decisions, and little to be desired communication from Riot employees. On top of that, they keep spitting out champions with overloaded kits that are unfun to play against and destroy the game's atmosphere.

We don't need champions with every damn spell concept in the book.

And we don't need a champ that can steal other ultimates. This should have always been a huge no in the champion design process.

But you all still chose to make him, and this shows how you, Riot, have become so lazy but also greedy and incompetent.

With Sylas, this shows you:

-Run out of original designs so you just slapped a ult stealing mechanic on him and called it a day -Only focused on $$$, as you have been since Tencent bought you out, and shows even more to this day because you've changed the game so damn much to cater to the fast paced 20 minute ASIAN CAFE MARKETS instead of the rest of the millions of players around the world. -Can't design something without it being ridiculously overloaded, overpowered, and not as simple as things used to be- which was emphasized more and more when you decided to follow CertainlyT, who I am very surprised is still hired right now.

It's disgusting, frustrating, and mind blowing Riot. And it needs to stop, now.

Delete Sylas, please. Don't put this nightmare into the game. If you are smart, delete him now. Having a champ that can steal over 140 ultimates instead of giving him a unique ult of his own is downright stupid but also lazy.

Rant over.

The "ult stealing is lazy" topic is an easy one to throw out, but it's categorically untrue. The lazy thing to do would be to give him another boring CC + AOE damage ult that several other champions already have.

It's a simple idea, but the actual execution probably makes for one of the most complex ults Riot has ever designed. I think it was a pretty bold move and am excited to see it in action.

That being said, Sylas is probably a pick/ban champion until they get his damage scaling worked out. As of right now he's got too much CC for the amount of damage he has, so one of those two things has to be addressed before he stops being a downright disgusting champion. Don't throw the baby out with the bathwater though.

Nobody asked your opinion on a champion that's not released yet and will be finetuned once live. His ultimate is fine as a concept, you're gonna see his stolen ult coming by a mile and just having an ult doesn't help you if you can't use it properly.

But hey, keep stoking the fire if you so please.

He's not even out yet. Do you have any experience against a Sylas. Your judging and saying this based on other opinions. Come back when he's out and then your points will maybe have some significance.

wonder how many people will start to perma ban him in draft/ranked instead of say Akali?
