Sylas's Kit is way to strong to justify his ult.

Plain and simple. He already has enough tools to safely 1v2 people who both have ults with just his base kit.

But he can also take any of their ults which are specifically balanced around them and add them to his purposefully overloaded kit.

His identity is supposed to be someone who's strength is dependent on the enemies strength. That's fine. But the fact of the matter is his base kit makes him not even need an ult. Which is kind of shitty.

If you have high impact ults? Too bad he uses them to shit on you.

If you don't? You have no way to fight him because he is balanced around not having ults. Oh and he can still take whatever you have.

You have to be selective with whose ult you steal. A lot of people were complaining about how op it would be if he took Darius’ ult but they failed to realize that the power of Darius’ ult comes from the stacks in his passive, not the ult itself.

I think I’m theory Sylas has a strong ultimate with limitless capabilities, but in a pinch many won’t chose the right ult to steal.

I do think his e is a little overloaded (he could do without the dash+shield) but other than that he isn’t hugely different from other bruisers.

The issue isn't the ults for me. Riot stated that his strength is supposed to correlate with the enemies ults. But they gave him to much power in his base kit to supplement when he doesn't have access to ults.
