I feel like the way they wanted his ultimate to work is to have zero difference between him using it and the original champion. The same rules which they have, Sylas has and nothing more or less.

However I feel like this makes his signature ability swing wildly in its usefulness. And while it would diminish the feeling of finding cool interactions and the choice to prioritise certain enemy's ults over others, I feel like it could be a good idea to introduce custom balance into the ults he uses.

First thing is to ether artificially increase the AP ratios of AP scaling ults, or to lower the conversion rate of AD scaling ults (depending on if a buff or a nerf would be in order). At the moment stealing an AD ult does noticably more damage than an AP one of the same usefulness and caliber (Caitlyn ult does way more damage than Veigar's even against low health targets, Wukong's to Morgana's is barely even comparable...) and it could do to being normalized.

Other things could be to allow spammy ults (Kog-Maw, Kassadin, Zoe, Anivia) to refund 50% of Hijack's cooldown. Zoe's in particular to also increase his auto attack range to that of Zoe's during the portal jump.

As well as just a few straight up changes such as giving him bonus magic damage on hit while in Shyvana's Dragon Form, and also allow manually transforming back with another cast of R.

And on the nerf side there's of course Swain's who really shouldn't get Soul Fragments for the final burst, even without them Swain's ult would still easily be the best one in the game he could steal.
