hes weakish early due to mana but strong due to sheen like autos with es mid game he spikes harder but late game he just experiences the pantheon effect. is there a build where im not useless late game but still deal damage
Illabethe1 votesTank still deals a ton of damage. it will probably get nerfed to streamline his choices though. His auto attack resets allow you to partially not build pure AP, and still proc his Passive constantly and make up for it. Most tank builds can still get around 300 AP, which is enough for most purposes, and converts to a really nasty survival/sustain rate, and gives you time to think about R's.
xDogMeatx1 votesthats cool is there room for death cap for his tank transendence build?
Illabethe1 votesI haven't death capped it yet but I also haven't needed to. In a 43 minute game I tanked almost 200k damage, healed over 21k, and did 50k damage. Imo, 50k is pretty large for 43 minutes.
xDogMeatx1 votesbut would death cap fit into a tank transendence? or nah
Illabethe1 votesCould but might diminish the up front survival. You'd have to depend more on getting off those low HP W's.
xDogMeatx1 votesoh ok sacrifice hardcore ap for sustainablity/empowered autos with cooldowns ill try that thx.
Illabethe1 votesI tried it on a build with Death Cap yesterday. I got 732 AP with just 
, and every other item tank.
Unfortunately, atm getting Sylas is almost impossible in normal draft, and teams in Blind treat blind precisely like they treat Iron: No Skill, No fault for no Skill, early feed and surrender.
It's hard to get a bead on what's viable and what's not because every game you get to play with Sylas is either 2 Sylas or a rapidly decaying game.
xDogMeatx1 voteswhat do you mean by rapidly decaying?
Illabethe1 votesShould be pretty obvious. When a team int feeds because "It's norms" and "It's Blind" and "We won't get punished" or "FF at 15" People just don't care.
You might get to learn how to play in Blind just as much as you might in a practice bot game. IE...... nothing.
Sylas isn't an instant carry button, so when teams play like this...... games end before he's even begun. 6-7 minute turrets. afkers.
xDogMeatx1 voteswell it depends on their team comp set up i know hes weak vs aa type champs due to hes a duelist mage type champ and they are all in melee carries. he has great team contribution due to the malphite or amumu ult examples. but yes i hate where in cases you cant solo carry as him efficiently if you build him assassin mid lane you have to have 3 kills to get the warmonger threat you want or a resistant tank that lasts forever due to his w sustain.
Illabethe1 votesThe only Melee champ I've had a problem with is Yi, and only mid game. I pub stomp him early.
