Check out part one ( of two ) of Curse's video of her, fresh from Riot's booth at Gamescom.
Here is a rough rundown of her kit, thanks to some very helpful redditors.
Here is part two of Curse's video preview:Passive: (Thanks to xgribbelfix & Naekos for confirmation)

Conjecture time!
For the moment, my guess is that this is both our new champion with " gravity influencing" abilities ( she can pick up minions, fling people around,etc ) and Dark Sovereign - an assumption based solely on her passive being quite different from what we've seen so far. It certainly fits Morello's bill of "exploring new game play mechanics".
At any rate, I wouldn't get too riled up about the quick succession of champion releases or anything, this situation is very similar to the one with both Hecarim and Varus being playable at PAX East, yet that one didn't speed up the release date of Varus at all.
The real question though, the one I think a lot of people share, is... what is the lore behind our mysterious new champion? A lot of fans are pulling for this to be the reveal of Kassadin's daughter, who, in the lore, was captured by Malzahar and imprisoned within the Void. Could this be her big return?
Awesome.....me likey kassadin daughter i presume she is such a hoties
ReplyDeleteAwesome.....me likey kassadin daughter i presume she is such a hoties
ReplyDeleteShe looks very interesting.
ReplyDeleteThe helmet-thingy looks like the one Midna (Zelda Twilight Princess) wears.
ReplyDeletei friggen know right
Deleteher armor design makes me think nordic thoughts (ie the third frejilordian princess) and her magic doesn't seem as chaotic as the other void based character.
DeleteI never understand all that gamescom and stuff, is this champ legit and will it be released to normal servers?
ReplyDeleteWell of course it's going to be released, why would they be showing it otherwise?
DeleteReminds me of Orianna with the moving balls...But I'd say that's all they have in similarity. On the other hand, she can throw minions?! AWESOME.
ReplyDeleteLooks interesting, true. But I expected more when i heard 2 weeks ago about that gravity-controlling champ they would present us at gamescom. But we will see, overall I never got disappointed by RIOT :D
ReplyDeleteHer animations and effects are too awesome, hopefully she wont be underpowered... or overpowered for that matter!
DeleteSorry for the double post...carry on fellow leaguers
ReplyDeleteLooks like fun :] Still hoping for the Soraka rework, grr! xD
ReplyDeleteI think,her passive is called Ascendant.The pic I saw was blurry so don't count on that name.
ReplyDeletehe get kills and he not have idea what hes doing?, smells like op champ to me
ReplyDeleteHer helmet looks like Nicol Bolas
ReplyDeletelol!
DeleteSo true! :D
DeleteHA. Yes.
DeleteNice Kensis copy from HoN, lol
ReplyDeleteHardly.
DeleteSimilar, but she seems a lot harder to play. We will see it.
DeleteNothing in lol is harder than on HoN, Lol is a casual game simple for everyone, HoN is a traditonal hardcore moba.
Deletehere is kineses
Deletehttp://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wPvNY9xq6gU
not true
DeleteAnd Kinesis uses the mechanics (including a direct copy of the lift and throw unit mechanic) of a hero in the old Warcraft 3: FT mod Aeon of the Zenith. Whats new? The "X hero is just X" posts are pointless, because any time theres an innovative mechanic in a moba, one of the thousands of Warcraft 3 mods probably had the mechanic first.
DeleteIn reference to her, her force push skill looks interesting, especially kicking those orbs for stuns. She'll reward good play, thats for sure.
Really small typo in the last paragraph 'captured my Malzahar' - shouldn't it be 'by'? :p
ReplyDeleteOther than that: awsome champ. Except her passive will will most likely benefit Q first as it's her main usable skill (cd, dmg wise etc). But I really like the thinking behind making her more dangerous with levels :3
And yes I have 2x will in there thanks phone - move along please .-.
DeletePURPLE AGAIN.
ReplyDeleteBLUE AGAIN.
DeleteKassadin's daughter , confirmed a long time ago!
ReplyDeleteLol battlecast skarner. In the first video it look pretty good
ReplyDeleteIt's not.
Deletewtf this is his earthrune skin...
DeleteShe's not gravity-based at all... Physics, yes. Gravity, not so much. That's Earthrune Skarner, btw.
ReplyDeleteIf only she used her hair for attacks like Sindel :p
ReplyDeleteso much sexy :S
ReplyDeleteAnd nothing wrong with that good sir.
DeleteHer helmet reminds me of Midna from Zelda Twilight Princess :3
ReplyDeleteThats exactly what i thought!
DeleteThe only thing i dont like is that her passive wont do anything for a large part of the game until you max a skill. She looks fun, she is to orianna what zyra is to himmer.
ReplyDeletehey, nice ripping off kinesis from heroes of newerth. gg riot.
ReplyDeleteThey're not ripping of Kinesis, Kinesis used telekinesis to lift up trees and creeps and use them to attack enemies, Syndra uses balls to zone and she uses them to attack, it's different. So no. Riot did not rip off Kinesis. Can Kinesis spawn balls to zone? Can he use them to attack and launch them? Can she lift up almost everything around her? No. So they never ripped HoN off :)
DeleteSo, how do these demos at Gamescom work? Did no one think to click on Syndra's face in the bottom left and go to the Lore tab? Or is there something I'm missing?
ReplyDeleteNow I want that champion. URGENTLY. The only Mages I actually think are worth it: Probably gonna be in the zone of my best mages, alongside my main and best played Malzahar, and my second one, Kassadin. What a coincidence... I have a passion for arcane, magical, floaty and pure nuker mages. <3
ReplyDeleteI found it funny how woefully unable the guy was to figure out how the abilities were working. Talk about a slow learner lol.
ReplyDeleteI found it extremely irritating. It's not difficult to take a second to experiment with how your abilities function, even if you can't read the descriptions.
DeleteI'm super excited about this champion (femme fatale mages are generally my favorites), so I'll be waiting for a higher resolution video of someone that actually attempts to showcase her appropriately, versus just fumbling around and pressing random keys.
I'm not gonna play lol when she is in free week... So many noobs
ReplyDeleteHow u pronounce it ?
ReplyDeleteS-eye-ndra ?
I think it's syn(sin) dra
DeleteIf she's Kassasin's daughter.....who's Kassadin's wife? DUN DUN DUN
