Sylas champion kit reveal: The Unshackled steals enemy ultimates

Bring down Demacia and steal enemy ultimates


The “chain champion” we’ve been waiting for as finally been revealed via League of Legends social media channels and he ... steals enemy ultimates for his own use. Oh, boy.
This isn’t too surprising, as the teaser images that were shown last week depicted the champion chaining up Demacian favorites and then using what seemed to be their ultimates, while his prisoners watched in horror. Judging by his crowd control and gap closers, we’re guessing he’s a jungler.
Riot noted on Sylas’ reveal page that “you can seize multiple ultimates in quick succession,” which means he’s definitely going to turn your broken picks against you if you’re not careful. Don’t be too worried, though. When he steals your ultimate, you will still be able to use it, so he’s not genuinely taking it away from you.
Sylas will be moving on to the Public Beta Environment soon for testing and should release with patch 9.2.
Riot Games

PASSIVE: PETRICITE BURST

After casting a spell, Sylas’ next basic attack whirls his chains around him, damaging nearby enemies.

Q: CHAIN LASH

Sylas lashes out with his chains, damaging and slightly slowing enemies. After a brief delay, the intersection of the chains detonates, applying an increased slow and damaging enemies again.

W: KINGSLAYER

Sylas lunges at a target with a powerful strike, damaging them and healing himself. If the enemy is at low health, the damage is increased; if Sylas is at low health, the heal is increased.

E: ABSCOND / ABDUCT

Sylas dashes a short distance and shields himself.
For a short time, he can recast the ability to whip out his chains, stunning, damaging, and pulling himself to the first enemy hit.

R: HIJACK

Sylas hijacks an enemy’s ultimate for his own use.
Enemies can still use their ultimates if Sylas takes them. Sylas can take an enemy’s ultimate whenever Hijack is off cooldown, but can’t hijack the same enemy for a while after.

Valentine’s Day 2019: Heartbreaker Vi and Heartpiercer Fiora skins remind that love hurts

Image
Heartbreaker Vi and Heartpiercer Fiora are the latest love themed skins Riot Games As if there wasn’t enough news already today — what with new patches, new skins and a new champion — Riot has also decided to announce this year’s Valentine’s Day skins for Vi and Fiora. Based on their titles, these two skins aren’t exactly the Heartseeker skins we’re used to. Vi’s new skin is called Heartbreaker Vi, and Fiora’s is Heartpiercer. The skins have a distinctly medieval feel to them with Fiora looking royal in a purple and red quilted dress and Vi suiting up in purple, red and gold armor. The splash even lets us know that’s the case as it features Fiora knighting Vi. This line of skins is for all things love in the  League of Legends  universe, so they should be out around Valentine’s Day. The themed skins have been released for all different kinds of champions, like Ashe, Lucian, Varus, Quinn and Orianna. Unfortunately for those fans prone to shipping, none of the officia...

Akali and Pyke nerfs! Riot Games The year is winding down and people are beginning to cozy up by the fireplace to celebrate the holidays.
