New champ looks dope, but I cannot wait to see the nightmare slew of bugs he is going to cause, especially if it involves mordekaiser

Oh hey it's the villain from Korra season 3.

Literally the same plot beats even. Locked in prison for tons of years until he gets a special power, uses it to escape, tries to smash the monarchy etc. etc.

The only interesting part of that character is the ultimate.

Nah it's not Camille E, there's no terrain usage. It's Amumu Q stapled to Riven E.

Oh man I hope there are empowered versions of all his abilities for when he steals from the Donger.

Yasuo ult would look so silly lol.

Will each of his skins have a dragon/raven-demon/eagle model for Shyv/Swain/Quinn?

There was chat about this in the discord. For form changers, he assumes that form and gains their abilities for a bit. People with charges (teemo, corki) he gets a set amount to use. 3 shrooms and 7 rockets iirc

Idk about Jayce/Udyr but for Elise/Nidalee he turns into their shapeshifts and has access to their q, w and e spells. For Karma and Heimer after he casts R he can cast any Mantra or Upgrade!!! spell.

You joke, but this is the actual lore

quote:

As a mage born to a poor Demacian family, Sylas of Dregbourne was perhaps doomed from the start. Despite their low social standing, his parents were firm believers in their country’s ideals. So, when they discovered their son was “afflicted” with magical abilities, they convinced him to turn himself in to the kingdom’s mageseekers.
...
Through his work, Sylas began to notice that magic was far more prevalent than Demacia cared to admit. He could sense glimmers of hidden power even among the wealthy and prominent… some of whom were the most outspoken decriers of mages. But while the poor were punished for their afflictions, the elite seemed above the law, and this hypocrisy planted the first seeds of doubt in Sylas’ mind.
...
In exchange for Sylas’ knowledge of the control of magic, Lux educated him about the world outside his cell, and brought him whatever books he desired.
...
But she never visited Sylas again. Her family, the immensely powerful Crownguards, had learned of their contact, and were furious that Lux had broken the law to help this vile criminal. Without explanation, it was arranged for Sylas to be hanged.
...
He left the mageseeker compound not as an outcast, but as a new, defiant symbol of the broken and persecuted in Demacia. Traveling the kingdom in secret, he has amassed a following of exiled mages, all now aligned toward a common goal: to topple the throne, and demolish the oppressive system that has made them suffer for so long.

As a minimum: Sylas can get two ultimate-tier skills per teamfight. That's not certain to be game-changing, but I'm sure there will be plenty of situations where it is.

This is a spicy buff to Vayne's mid- and late-game teamfighting for players who can train enemies down during Final Hour without getting bopped in the process. To the Vaynes of the world: Vaynespotting is still a thing, so be careful not to roll yourself into an early grave. At the same time, don't be skittish—if you Tumble without attacking, you're barely going to get anything from this buff.

Those are some spicey Ornn buffs, late game Ornn is going to give the carrys a extra stat spike for free instead of 1000g.

On top of that he gets a whole bunch of extra items to work with.

Youmuu's Wraithblade
ATTACK DAMAGE 55 ⇒ 75
LETHALITY 18 ⇒ 25

Luden's Pulse
ABILITY POWER 90 ⇒ 120
MANA 600 ⇒ 850

Frozen Fist
ARMOR 65 ⇒ 95
MANA 500 ⇒ 700

Might of the Ruined King
ATTACK DAMAGE 40 ⇒ 55
ATTACK SPEED 25% ⇒ 40%

Before it was only really viable to pick up these items at the extreme lategame, around the time your permanently chugging elixirs and thinking what you'll sell your boots to get, now that spike comes around 20-30 minutes and regardless of what point in the build your at, but it requires ornn to solo farm awhile longer before becoming a teamfight tank.
