Jamie Hyneman skin for Sylas when?

For those who don’t know, MythBusters was a reality show from the 2000’s where a pair of special effects artists, Jamie Hyneman and Adam Savage, test various urban legends. This screenshot comes from the episode “Phone Book Friction”, where Jamie and Adam test the idea that two phone books with interleaved pages are impossible to separate due to the immense friction between them. Ultimately, they had to resort to a pair of tanks, which managed to separate the books with power to spare. To ensure the clamps on the books wouldn’t be torn off, they upgraded to metal clamps and heavy chains, which Jamie is dragging toward the tanks in the screenshot.

Also, as an aside, if Riot did actually spoof MythBusters for some skins and gave the Jamie skin to Sylas, who do you think should get the Adam Savage skin?

Discussion Pros and cons of sylas top lane (let me know if i missed anything)

3 Upvotes

Pros:

- mobility - good single target cc

- healing - ability that helps to stay on lane is always useful on top lane

- pokeing - you can poke enemy with your Q

- ult - most top laners ults are heavy damage or smiting helping lack of sylas heavy damage early

- getting more gold and levels - sylas with items early can be destructive

- agresive playstyle - assasin on top may be rough against tanks, but with mages/rangers being popular on top lane right now sylas pretty much benefits of his ability to quick dive in

-top lane quest benefits

Cons:

- poor damage early - with agression of top laners early its important to not feed your enemy in early especialy

- tanks - yet again sylas is assasin, he may struggle against tanks

- lot of cc - teemo

- ult - some top laners like teemo have spamable/ability boosting ults so sylas might not benefit from stealing it

Again, if i missed anything comment it. Im iron so some informations might be totaly wrong or work only on lower rank.

Discussion Why was Sylas nerved so much in Patch 14.15?

1 Upvotes

I was just scrolling through the Sylas Patch notes and I can't remember Sylas being broken the patch before. Before Sylas felt like an assassin after that pure one shots got harder even though he didn't got tankier. Or am I missing something?

Here the Patch:

Chain Lash Chain Lash

Explosion base damage reduced to 60 / 115 / 170 / 225 / 280 from 70 / 125 / 180 / 235 / 290.

Explosion AP ratio reduced to 80% AP from 90% AP.

Cooldown reduced to 10 / 9 / 8 / 7 / 6 seconds from 11 / 10 / 9 / 8 / 7.

Kingslayer Kingslayer

Damage AP ratio reduced to 70% AP from 80% AP.

Heal AP ratio reduced to 20% AP from 35% AP.

New Effect: Heal now scales with 5% of his bonus health.

Abduct Abduct

Discussion An UPDATED listicle of 20 Sylas matchups

6 Upvotes

(This is a much needed update from a list I made 10 months ago. Now with better verified high elo references.)

I find it kinda hard to find one centralized place to look up detailed Sylas's matchups that actually guide you through level-by-level laning, kill thresholds, teamfight strategies, and other more knowledge-based parts of the game (backing for items, when to chunk hp to set up a future kill, etc.), so I decided to make a website to consolidate the information I can find around the internets. I can't say I'm a good player by any stretch (plat at my best), so all of the content will need huge improvements over time, especially with the help of this sub. This website is a very very early alpha prototype, but I hope to soon be able to cover all important matchups and mid/top/jungle for Sylas. It would be absolutely amazing to get your feedback on how to improve this Sylas database and website :)

Currently, I've gathered information for 20 matchups: Ahri, Akali, Annie, Azir, Cassiopeia, Diana, Fizz, Galio, Irelia, Jayce, Kassadin, Kat, LB, Ori, Qiyana, Ryze, Syndra, Taliyah, Viktor, Zed

Discussion Sylas jungle

8 Upvotes

I would really appreciate some insight on sylas in the jungle, mainly his clear. I am a jungle main and I have a little experience on sylas, I’ve been hearing a lot lately about him in the jungle but the issue I’m having is that every time I play him I feel like his clear is just ass. Having a rough first clear I understand but it feels like I have a level 5 clear speed at level 14 and I just don’t get it. Is he meant to just snowball hard or what?

Discussion Which should I buy

5 Upvotes

I have 300 mythic essence, should I get sylas skin or together as one nexus finisher? I'm a big T1 fan and sylas enjoyer but I'm stuck between these two options. I don't have any nexus finishers as of now, and I don't have sylas skins either. I'm thinking maybe I'll get freljord sylas in your shop one day? But it won't be the same as Prestige T1 sylas :(( what do you guys think?

El protocinturon sigue siendo viable para Sylas después del nerfeo que le pegaron al ítem? Ayer sin saber que lo habían nerfeado me lo armé y sentí a Sylas muy diferente, me dio por ver el ítem y estaba cambiado y pegaba menos, demoraba mås, y me pregunto si realmente sigue sirviendo o qué ítems dicen ustedes que deberían empezar a armarse de primero?
