The Sylas Problem

HelpMiMain·Jul 23, 2019·2 votes·1,352 views

So how is Sylas still viable at all? Like actually. Didnt he just get nerfed and he can still single handedly carry teams? OKAY we get it RIOT loves him. But how in the world is he a balanced champion?

Sylas was a stupid money grab. He is supposed to be an appealing champion because he has a new-age ability, namely his ultimate. His ultimate looks cool at a first glance, but when you realize how many recondite interactions it has with other champions, you realize that Riot has inadvertently made every game involving Sylas much more complicated, which I think most people would argue is anti-fun.

Except he doesn't and can't, you actually have a higher chance of losing with a Sylas on your team then winning, what you are seeing is champion mastery rather then champion strength.

Edit: Play him before complaining at the very least.

Except it feels like his ult was not balanced for at all.

Ignoring his ult. His kit is extremely good. That’s not a debate.

Now account for his ultimate. If he is playing again. Eh. A Elise. Pretty sub par. But the rest of his kit is still really good.

Now imagine he steals a champion who relies on their ultimate like say, orianna. Suddenly he kit becomes stupidly broken.

Tl:dr his kit was balanced around getting a weak ultimate, so when he gets a strong one he’s stupid broken.
