######I made dis. I'm very proud of it. Spent like 25 minutes finding the pictures, fonts and stuff and 2-3 tacking them on each other in paint.

I like Sylas - A LOT -. I've been maining him since his release and just got Mastery 5 after winning a match with the build you see above.

He is REALLY hard to learn, but i am concerned that once people figure him out he'll be the second coming of Ekko. He has less mobility and is generally a lot less safe, but he has OH SO MUCH MORE utility in the hands of a half-decent player - even someone like myself can climb with him!

I can't really tell if he's in need of nerfs because he's so god damn weak compared to similar champions. Where other mages can typically 100-0 someone with a full combo once they finish their luden's echo, if Sylas gets luden's he can perhaps do 40-50% of a marksman's max health.

But playing him makes me feel like i used to feel back in season 4 and 5. Like a true top laner. I'm actually a proper front liner and initiator for my team again.

I'm actually having fun playing League of Legends.

item 3001 item 3025 item 3157 item 3065 item 3151 I feel like would be a solid build as well...maybe item 3165 instead of item 3151 since pen is so strong right now.

Are you running grasp on him? I'm trying to descide between running grasp and running comet on him top. I know comet poke would be pretty strong with his q, but grasp is really strong against melee matchups.

Had one whose only defensive item was Visage ran alongside item 3285 item 3152 that face-tanked an entire Rek'Sai rotation and took a grand total of 10% of his health as damage before two-shotting me with a sourspot Q and E.

edit: I'm having a hard time finding the match from my history, but I'm pretty sure the only other items he had were magic pen boots and a single item 1028

edit 2: Found the match and it was me as Lissandra, not Rek'sai; he was running item 3020 item 3285 item 3152 item 3065 item 1026 as the only AP on an otherwise full AD team; our team was a mix of true, magic, and AD. He had the second most damage dealt in the game after my 300+AP transcendence itemset, and around twice as much damage soaked and mitigated as the next highest.

The champion is fucking ridiculous at the moment, even without his health equalizing W. He can get a flub hit Q as his only damage in a trade and still chunk a quarter of a health bar while taking no damage himself.
