Some thoughts about the new champion Sylas

So I just went over the information of Sylas. I really do feel like it's not technically a new champion and I don't think a new champion should be designed like this.

First of all, his passive... Is it really not just noctune's passive procs after using an abillity? His Q is fine, something similar to illaoi's Q but still fairly a new abillity. Then his W, that is literally just Evelynn's E with healing... His E is fine, kind of... But legit, this does not feel like a "new" champion.

Finally, his ultimate... Let's be honest, I really don't like this ability. I mean it sounds cool, looks cool, but not cool to actually launch that... In my opinion, each champion has his or her own characteristic and that is mostly shown on their ultimate. For example, Zed's characteristic is mostly shown on his R. This new champion makes the characteristic from something important to something that's not important at all...

"Oh you have Malphite to destroy our team with his R? Guess what, I can do that too." "Our team comp is just trash" "Don't worry, I'm Sylas and I can do whatever they can do" Like... LMAO...

Please Riot, think about this carefully, and decide whether you guys need to take this champion back and release when it's ready.

I highly agree, he just seems like a fusion of Eve with E, Camille with W, and Zoe by stealing ults. No new playstyles the only thing cool is going ton be he can steal ults. With all the rest of his cc this could make him the most broken champ in league history. Consider if he stole amumu ult. Now he has the power to get in their, with a stun and slows, pop Amumu, Lissandra, Morganna, or Neeko type ult for even more cc, then probably get out with his insane healing ability and do more cc once back on CD. This champ is going to be defined by who the enemy picks. He could be so so if a team has no ults he can combo with, but if he gets a good CC or sustain type ult I think he can easily 1v5.

There's -20% chance Riot would ever UNTEASE a champs abilities lol. Just be patient we have no details on CD or numbers here so there's really no point in acting like this champ needs to be reworked before they are even released.

Oh and another thing to think about, if this champ is AP I think they will be SUPER broken since they can burst, and steal bursty ults, with their CC that could mean another mage type assassin. If they are AD though I think it'll be a little meh but if they get super fed they could more easily 1v5 with sustain items and their AOE abilities/CC. The fact they are a bruiser can steal any ult is scary. Imagine a fed YI with sustain, but also good CC and the ability to hit your whole team with a good CC ult or a good true damage ult or something equally crazy.
