Darius does damage as if Sylas had 1 stack and Illaoi's ult just does the smack damage. The tentacles just sit there. Could Darius' ult do maybe damage equal to 3 stacks of hemmorage and illaoi's tentacles hit once?
Chembaron Yamada6 votesConsidering that there are quite alot of ultimates which become stronger when Sylas uses them over the original champion (like for example every tank ultimate with AP scaling), I think it is fair that there are some ultimates he can't use.
He doesn't have to get literally all the good stuff....

Perhaps you are new to people who main a champion on the boards/reddit, but this is kind of what they want usually. lol Like /r/YasuoMains basically complaining that Yasuo is 'too strong' last patch, and needs a nerf. They felt he was 'just ok' / 'in the right spot' it seems based on a lot of the posts I saw over the patch.
SuicidePlank4 votesOh no, two of the 140+ Ults that I can all use don't make me superior to anything and are somehow balanced since the Champ shouldn't be picked if enemys don't have strong Ults. Riot plsss.
Hethalean1 votesThis being said, I remember a bug report last week I think where Sylas casting W near an ally Illaoi with Active Tentacles will make them slam... lol soooo never know.
BobaFlautist3 votesSylas should probably get a two part ult for both of them - for Darius the first part gives him Darius's passive for 5-10s and second is ult and for Illaoi his dash thing is treated as her w (lowered cd and activates tentacles)
xDogMeatx1 voteswhat about replace the ult as her W ability so that her ability isnt a waste of a grab. till the ability is over.
kingDeDeDarius2 votesLmfao!!!!! In that case why ever play Darius when syoas can be the better Darius! Are you insane? Wow that would feel so crappy as a Darius player, especially since syoais wouldn't even have to earn that passive and has much better target accessibility. I think no changes should be made. If sylais steals Darius got it should stay weak
BobaFlautist1 votesI mean you could say the same about Malphite, or Garen, or Karthus. The reason is that Darius is a MUCH stronger laner and bully than Sylas. You don't pick Darius for his ult, you pick him to steamroll your lane opponent.
Hethalean2 votesRiot can only handle so much, and their game is constantly bugging in new and exciting ways each patch. Let's not add needless complexity where it doesn't have to be. I mean I don't want an 'ult by ult balance' for sylas for 140 champions. That's just creating a new Mordekaiser in the way of bugs.
I mean you didn't even talk about Syndra. Why not have it so he just has 5 balls for her ult? He can never stun with Annie ult. Can it stun people since tha'ts normal for th eability? If he steals brand ult, he doesn't get the brand passive procs, which is quite frankly most of the damage from brand ult.
kingDeDeDarius3 votesYeah it actually sucks when sylas can use someone else's ult even better than that champs, especially considering how often he can steal different ults. Like somebody else mentioned, some ults should be weak for him to steal or he'd be total bs
The bad Yasuo1 votesoh no! a way to counter sylas! Why should he benefit from every single ult in the game. There are 5 enemies on each team, hes bound to get at least a decent ult or 2 per match.
Monstermushmush1 votesEhhh guys. All I'm saying is that, if riot is to buff Sylas, they can improve his ultimate interactions instead of his actual stats. A good example is Vayne ultimate. It isn't completely useless.
