Welcome to this patch's General Discussion thread for the League of Legends subforum. This thread is for discussion around League of Legends. Free feel to talk about anything LoL related here that does not already have its own thread.

Non-League of Legends discussion should go in the LiquidLegends Lounge.

Certain topics are blacklisted from LoL General Discussion and they include:
  • "Elo hell"
  • The Tribunal
  • Bans, either from TL.net or LoL

Additionally, the TL LoL Ten Commandments are available for you to reference if you have any questions about this subforum.

Use the LoL Strategy subforum if you have game or champion specific questions. Lastly, confine QQing and bragging to their respective threads.

Patch isn't quite out but I'm getting this out a bit early so that the new champ announcement can be discussed. Links found here:

Sylas: The Unshackled | Champion Trailer - League of Legends

Demacian Heart - Short Story

Sylas - Biography

Sylas - Reveal (Article)

Sylas - Reveal (Video)


It's slightly different depending

Nidalee & Elise, he can activate their ult on himself to get their alt form (cat/spider), until he re-activates ult and turns back into himself

Karma & Heim he can activate their ult to get a single cast of one of THEIR QWE abilities

Teemo & Corki he gets a full "load" of their ult (7 rockets for corki, 3 shrooms for Teemo)

Zoe... he just jumps forward and back once


RiotEarthSlug on what happens if Sylas steals champs with no true R ults*

Yo this is by far my most wanted ability from DOTA to come to league, if I ever bother playing again I want him

EDIT: What about Jayce ult or Swain Ult which relies on the crows?

When I saw the communist memes, I thought it was a joke, but no he's a full blown 'overthrow the suppressors' dude. Also one of the most gimmicky ults ever, although it'll be fun to play him from the looks of it. Can't wait to see the face of a Pyke who gets blown up by his own ult.

Well that certainly was unexpected. Only AP scaling?

new WEAK GRIP Rend now deals 50% damage to epic monsters


I don't understand why Riot refuses to put a hard cap on this ability. It's neither fun or interesting and makes Kalista harder to balance.

I would be careful about comparing Dota, Dota 2 or LoL to early Magic. The early magic years (pre Invasion block) were a bit of a Wild West in tournament magic. There were numerous shuffling cheats which were entirely legal and had no recourse. Judging was barely regulated and many L2s and below had no real understanding of the rules. That might sound crazy, but the number of times even come Mirrodin or kamigawa that judges could not issue a correct ruling (or ruling analogs) that had just been covered by the recent judge notes articles on the flagship was over half. In fact, I had appealed to a L3 at an Atlanta regional who couldn’t even get the Genesis triggered ruling correct in ODY-ONS standard regional. It was an era where there were numerous ways where you could earn a game win by drawing 1 less card. An era where confusing your opponent on game state wasn’t just legal but it was a way to win. Hell, at the same Atlanta regional I convinced an opponent to scoop to me with legal damage on the stack; literally went from winning the match straight to game 3 and a loss as I boiled away 2 lands on T3 with threats on the table. There’s a reason why there’s a lot of hesitation putting old players in the magic HoF due to how rampant cheating was on the pro scene for years. Hell Pikula, a player who built a reputation for calling out cheaters and building a more positive pro scene, a player who won an Invitational and has an iconic card to his name; despite all that and an above average record while still playing at a high level today can’t get in.

Sure, part of the reason why the best decks, the best strategies, and most broken cards weren’t fully discovered early on is because of the smaller player base and smaller dissemination of information. But let’s also remember that the Pros-Bloom incident with Mike Long. Let’s remember that the pro tour was much harder to get on; that it was much easier to cheat your way to victory. Hell it was literally days ago that “2 explore” Bertoncini” got a lifetime ban.

What I want to know about Sylas is if he gets a feast stack if he copy Cho'Gath's ultimate. That and watching a Gangplank ultimate destroy an entire team since Sylas is an AP champion.

They're just so fucking stubborn. The champ becomes so much fucking easier to balance if they give a hard cap.

Also, I agree with everyone on Sylas. It seems impossible in my mind that this champ doesn't have a trillion bugs.

Nah, the real problem is that every dragon/barob should work like rend. Steals are maximum anti-hype

I dunno. His ultimate is literally just copy/pasting something already working.

An idea for kalista is that they set a medium cap on rend, but if you get something like 5 stacks on a champ/epic monster, the CD is refunded. The 90% AA damage is one of the most unique nerfs in the game, and basically implies the champ is broken.

So new champ can stack cho ult, that is hilarious.

Which champion is potentially the worst target to use Sylas' ult on? Kalista?

Probably kalista.

Nidalee would be pretty bad, seeing how he has no way to make enemies hunted... idk i guess cougQW still a decent revenue and escape start. Zoe would be awful tho.

Best is probably wukong. That 800+2.2 ap ratio ult kinda nasty. With pen could be like 2400 dmg over 4s.

Zoe, Udyr come to mind, because he doesn't have the rest of the kit to exploit them. Xayah ult is only decent, because he's only going to be using the invun, feather damage is negligible.
