More gems from the @Ezreal post.

If you remember, they nerfed her HARD after her initial appearance at Gamescom. Her damage was cut down and she lost a stun on her E.

UP is generally healthier than OP

a lil cold mate considering no champion is perfect at launch.

You're a kid... You state something about Syndra like a normal person would, then you fuck it up by stating you're 4th... Nobody gives a shit you're 4th, but I just had to reply to let you know how ridiculous you look, frankly, I don't take yous seriously and I'm sure you're a low elo scrub that doesn't know what they're talking about.

@Celebi and what are you? Some kid douchebag looking at the picture? Please don't flame in this blog, even though I just did.

This topic is clearly going places.

Celebi, I do not know how elo has anything to do with saying 4th, I am also curious why you would get so struck by that guy saying "4th" it was a joke on how people always call 1st, why does it matter?

Considering some 13 year old added me after a game one time and then proceeded to hit 1700 elo in less than a year of adding him. I cannot say that being a kid or a vile human being (He's also a memespouting brony) has any affect on how well you play the game.

Also, what he said is not what any normal person would say, you would have to be mentally deficient to believe that. It would make you a hypocrite.

Anyone who complains about Riot releasing OP champs or even say they do it intentionally and then complains when they release UP champs is an idiot, you cannot have it both ways. They cannot get the balance anywhere near perfect without seeing it in live play. Sure, they have PBE but that's on a much smaller scale than the live servers.

It is fine if you want to moan about them releasing champs in an OP state, I personally would not bother as it is not like they leave these champs OP for months. Just don't bitch about everything, especially not when it makes you look like a hypocrite.

Lol,she can 1 b 1 almost anayone except Ahri and Gragas maybe... she is new and ppl didnt get feel for it.

Three weeks in. Yup. Win prediction means anything.

Her win % is EXCEPTIONALLY low, like 20-30% that is CRAZY low, usually when a champion is released considered weak they have like 40% win%

where can u see her Win prediction is there any site or sth ?

a site called LoLking google it not too hard to find

Cassi was also undervalued for months before she became the next new thing and had to be nerfed repeatedly. She played differently than other mages and people had to get used to her first.

Me again. I laugh at the fact that the first 3 posts are talking about Syndra and how bad she is :3

well she is bad its very sad they worked on her this long. her main problem is her super high mana costs. second problem is her cc is all conditional making her set up for any kind of fight which is just bad.

Syndra bad? HELL NO!!! She is one if the best mid champs! I allways win with her mid (: you just need to take some time to learn her.. She is not like other mid champs, she is very hard But When you have learned her, nothing can stopp you!

Impossible to have a discussion om balance without some hippy dippy everything is fine guy waltzing in and going, im the super god of playing champion X, just takes loads of skill wich none of you scrubs have.

Please think about this if it were truely a lack of skill dont you think the super pros like say reginald would have picked her up? No high elo takeing syndra in their team lineups cecause they know shes too weak to be worth it.

Best mage? Get a grip.

She's definitely not the best mage but personally i do well with her, as with basically every champ it depends on your playstyle and who you are going against NOT only the champ

syndra is bad casue her lategame sucks =/

Agreed. Maximum jimmy rustlage going on in here.

Her mechanics were quite stupid, frankly even though she was fun to play her somewhat "unique" gameplay style was the reason why she's underpowered. Whats the point of having sphere billards if the spheres last no longer than 6 seconds? whats the point on having a stun that's almost impossible to land and an ult that takes at least 5 seconds to charge up to do damage and still deals less damage than ults such as Malz'

I think damage wise, she's pretty close of the balanced state, she would need a QoF changes like increasing the missile speed of W when it lands, increase the time an orb can stay on the field (cause right now it takes a lot of time to setup your orbs for your ulti), maybe increase the range of the knockback a bit, increase the range of the ulti definatly (it's so short)

if you cant hit the stun you should uninstall right now.

Damage wise they buffed her, which is awesome, it helps to bring her in line a bit.

The problem is that with the newer champions in particular, as a prediction not a rule, is that with newer mechanics and more skillshots in general, it requires more 'comboing' and the ability to miss or dodge enemy abilities, rather than being zoned simply for being in a range, e.g annie.

Syndra's case is extreme, to deal the same bursty goodness that previous mages could deal, isn't as easy anymore. To utilize her to her max requires you to set up before being able to maximise the supercoolkickassburty ultimate that AP's are known for. Previous AP's do have skillshots, but none of them quite require the same synergy that Syndra requires to maximize her damage.

E.g, Brand has 2 skillshot, 2 smartshots. The way to combo for maximum damage, usually is with E to proc the bonus. It's a smartshot. So a stun requires a smartshot(E)/skillshot(Q).

Syndra has 3 skillshots/ 1 smartshot (with the condition that you have other things to maximize damage). To proc a stun requires a Q and an E skillshot CONE. The cone in itself, means it takes greater skill and margin for error to land a proper stun.

I guess my point being more skillshots, generally means a greater margin for error, meaning she gets punished for having more difficult mechanics. They're not bad, they just need to be taken into consideration when balancing her imo.

It's not like they worked on her WHOLE 3 years WITHOUT BREAK. There were also other things beside her -_-"

I hate the idea of "only works on jungle monsters" as a mechanic, i cant think of an ability that descriminates between jungle creeps and normal minnions.

Would it be that bad if she could use her passive againts All minion types?

Were I to take a stab at it, I'd say the idea of it not working on normal minions would be to make it easier for her to soften them up to feed the target she's supporting without worrying about overkilling them and getting a bunch of last hits.

"Because she is my favorite support champ, I can only hope hat the change doesn't hurt her late game too much."

how would a buff to her passive hurt her late game in any way shape or form? are you afraid they might nerf her as some kind of trade off or something?

They should make a buff were if either leona or diana kill the other one first, gets a slight power boost :3

^ seconded

They should make it where if Leona and Diana encounter each other alone in the jungle, the game stops and we go to a cutscene of them making out. Because nerdgasm and immaturity and such.

LOL

+1

^ made my day lmao

Thats because you fight beginner bots or noobs.

No edit: say* not slay. Hue.

They just making her viable for jungle..

she is alredy viable as jungler, pisck armor and 5pots, im jungle her,, OP gangs after lvl 6,,,

ap eve isnt bad...

Now you get what I'm saying.

He's saying their first impressions stick...
