Lillia ult requires her to have passive stacks on the enemy. But Sylas steals the ult, not the passive.
So by this logic Sylas shouldn’t be able to use Lillia’s ult. For those who don’t know, once he steals the ult he also applies her passive.
Here is the official wording
ACTIVE: Lillia casts a magical lullaby over all enemy 📷 champions affected by 📷 Dream Dust, which arrives after 0.3 seconds and renders them 📷 drowsy for 1.5 seconds, 📷 slowing them by 10%. After the duration, they fall 📷 asleep for a duration.
I don’t know why they give one of the most popular edgelord champs the benefit of the doubt here. What would be fair (if it wasnt for a 200 years champ) that he is just unable to use the ult. You didn’t have the gameknowledge that you need passive stacks for the ult? Get punished by not having an ult at all after stealing the one from Lillia.
Changes like these would highlight a champs strength/ weaknesses more instead of being a generalist that can be picked in nearly every game. But I’m sure he was allowed to do this because he is a money maker champ for the company, which sucks. If it was Amumu, he wouldn’t be given the benefit of the doubt in this case.
Thats because Sylas ult doesnt literally use the ult, the Devs basically said that if you steal an R as Sylas what would you expect to happen? And being able to actually use the R in the first place is something Id expect. This can be extended to other ults aswell, like Kennen R stunning or Fiora R vitals or Kaisa Passive stacks for R. While Lillia R states that targets need to be affected by her Passive it effectively boils down to the fact the target needs to be hit by a spell within the last 3 (or 4?) Seconds.
it would be bad game design if he couldn’t
i think it would be good design if he couldnt. he fucked up by stealing an ult that he doesnt have the passive for, so he should be punished
Im so glad yall dont work at Riot, holy shit.
because it sets a stupid precedent for other ultimates
