i know it would mean so little but it bothers me so much that sylas has been gutted and nerfed almost every patch since his release, granted not EVERY patch but christ does it feel like it

I like this champion, no actually i LOVE this champion and i can understand taking away frustration but holy crap....

adding 8 seconds to e, moving shield to e cast and ONLY if it hits, now passive does 50% damage all around and q and passive have smaller radius...... and the massive number tweak on his w like come on....

i love this champ, his kit is unique and fun yet simple and has fluid combos , his theme is great his VO, everything but... i dont want to see such an awesome champ go to waste just because he sucks overall... maybe somebody can tell me different?

can sylas really be THAT overpowered? is he genuinly as broken as they are showing him to be or what? i am really curious, and it scares me that at some point i wont be able to play one of my new favorite champs of 2019 just because of all these freakin nerfs

so yea... thats all, just hope he gets some love because WOW has he gone downhill

Tbh if his kit wasn't so overloaded, he wouldn't need to be nerfed every patch. Riot just need to stop releasing champions with everything in their kit.

He has 0 weaknesses. He doesn't trade anything for his ultimate. Power budget doesnt apply to him.

Yes. He's extremely overloaded. He was almost balanced in 9.10 so the changes should finally balance him.

It's weird seeing 3 different people just call him completely an absurd champion yet he's in a horrible spot right now his wr is below average across ALL ranks, yes go look it up it's true, and everything you listed is LITERALLY ON SO MANY OTHER CHAMPIONS. Is it because you hate learning to go against a new mid laner or perhaps you play champs he just shits on, because your complaints are EXTREMELY over exxageratted. Like ALOT. You all listed overloaded when everything the champ has is designed to be countered somehow. He's got the chunk of heal? Grievous ignite, he gonna execute ya, heal shield yourseld, he's dashing at you? Juke it like it's a yasuo with third q coming at you, his q hits you? You are just dogshit if you let that God awful hitbox push you outta lane (especially if your ranged) and his ultimate is LITERALLY THE SAME ULTIMATE THE CHAMP YOUR PLAYING HAS, BUT WEAKER. YES, WEAKER. Id like to see what rank you guys are at, because while I'm not high elo, these complaints are that of lower elo, because he gets countered by so many different mid laners

I think they could easily define him by making him about his steal ults thing. He's too powerful because of his basic kit. The reason his basic kit is too good? Because he can steal ults, meaning he might not have an ult for an extended period at all. So they added healing, CC, slows, shields, dashes, bonus damage based on HP and area of effect auto. Everthing a champ could need without an ult. But it was too much, the healing especially. They tried to design an AP fighter/bruiser but lack of good fighter items make him go more melee mage.

Look at it this way, his power should be defined by the enemy team's comp. Hey, the enemy team piked a Renekton top and an Ashe ADC. Sylas should be perfect there as he get's more benefit from those ults than they do. Enemy picked Darius top, Zoe mid and Kog'Maw adc? Maybe not the best time to pick him. Up his Q damage to give him wave clear, make his healing % of his max HP but lower it's base (so he has to build HP to get a good heal) and leave the rest. Make him a fighter, not a melee mage.

Itt: people dont comprehend what "overloaded kit" means. The boards balance team here again.

I know, I finally get the courage to pick up a new champion and of course they shit all over him like they always do. I can understand giving him power windows and all that , but good lord they are taking away all his priority in lane for 20 extra shield on his SECOND E cast. Get out of here with that shit
