Does anyone know what Class/Subclass Sylas is?
As the title says, I'm just wondering if we've gotten any concrete evidence on what Class/Subclass Sylas falls under.
I myself am personally leaning him in the Skirmisher to Specialist directions based on all the various things he has in his kit, as he takes something from nearly all of them. But he also has certain Fighter influences as well, coming from (I think) the Juggernaut side more than the Diver side.
Passive: Deal damage in a circle after casting a spell. Damage-dealing passive akin to those seen on Juggernauts, Skirmishers, Assassins and probably more.
Q: Damage-dealing Spell with small CC attached, somewhat like certain Auto-attack reset abilities like Crippling Strike (
W) . But also where the chains intersect, an additional damage and CC area is created, somewhat like the "Sweet Spots" of the Q for the reworked
.
W: Targeted Dash with a conditional heal AND execute-effect, with the conditions being that the heal is more potent the lower his health is, and the damage also increased the lower the target's health is. I can't say for sure whether the additional damage is TRULY an execute, but the increased damage the lower the health is suggests it, and I think this suggests more Juggernaut influences, with the conditional heal, like the one on
's Q, AND the execute-effect some Juggernaut abilities have (Though they are usually reserved to ultimates, like the
Dunk or
's missing health, or
's 25% execute threshold).
E: Dash that grants a shield, akin to Riven's E. But it also has a re-cast that acts as an additional type of CC in the form of a Stun, Dash and Pull (Sylas pulling himself to the target) all at once. So first, there's a Skirmisher influence in the form of the shield-granting dash (
E) , but also more Juggernaut or even Tank influences as his main, hard CC (Based on MY observations, anyway) being put on 1 ability.
R: Here's where the "Specialist" suggestions in my mind come in. His ability to steal ults gives him INCREDIBLE versatility, limited only by what champions the enemy team selects.
So I hope you see where my confusion is coming from. With all these various inspirations, sources and cues he takes from all these (and possibly more) classes, what Class/Subclass does he truly fall under?
