SHOWING YOU HOW TO TEAMFIGHT LIKE A RANK 1 SYNDRA - ROAD TO RANK 1

[@pkjohnson7477]

very glad to see that you are willing to upload a game even if it's a loss for it's educational value. Also, your level of discipline in the side lanes to protect your first death was an incredible learning. Thank you for your upload as always Shok 🙏

[@tosh10_]

Hey Shok I was the Ori, thanks for the feedback!

[@ShokLeague]

You're welcome

[@siddharthravishankar7243]

Been playing a lot of Syndra lately so happy to see this! Funnily enough, also been having the exact same issues you had this game of getting giga fed then having a rough time closing out cleanly due to the nature of solo queue and then ADCs being ADCs making it tough.

[@thomasnguyen4427]

woah, this guy makes playing League while commentsting literally every second look easy!

[@unremorse]

went from silver hardstuck ahri one trick for 2 years to plat 2 ori/syndra main, appreciate your videos bro

[@ShokLeague]

What a come up, gj bro

[@chiidybang370]

For me its the opposide xD i was gold hardstuck 2 years ago. Became an ahri 1trick (around 75% of my games)in soloque now im dia.

[@juanpablogarciazermeno3770]

Another great video, even these defeats get you closer to rank 1!!! Love Syndra's ending btw lol

[@francis_0077]

Hey Shok, Idk if this is works but looks very likely and since you are all about learning just wanted to mention it. On 19:32 you could have hitted Rift's eye and I think the dmg is enough to kill it with an auto (I'm guessing like 4000 approx) And at 21:37 you don't understand why your team let them take mid turret and I'm just thinking you could've probably controlled that situation yourself and at that second time stamp the turret would've suffered just a little dmg not fully destroyed. Anyway, great video, I've been learning a lot with your content and seeing you lane against invis and roaming lanes with your full thought process out loud is super helpful. Thanks!

Shok by the way you can tell when syndra ball is expiring when it begins to glow. each skin has its own animation for when it starts to despawn.

[@Valentine_Mehin]

2 syndra games, 0 Ryze games. Still waiting.

[@ShokLeague]

I am looking for the angle

[@ThreadedRock192]

Don’t listen to him, more syndra :3

Will try get a game on it

[@roberto789shadow]

Sad bro, but i saw it comming, it's on the Yone that was dead weight. Bot was bad, but at least they were trying to group up, but yone was a -0 there

[@johnprocrastinator]

Great video!

[@memes420blaze]

I love how u were killing zilean all game without him managing to ult and on that last bush cheese u tried u didnt use E but instead u ultied which was so benefitial for them :D

[@aryados1520]

Thanks for the video bruh.

[@chawkibouchaa]

can you make us a video explaining when and on what champ should buy dark seal and when to upgrade it or sell it

[@ShokLeague]

Pretty much any AP champ should pick up a dark seal at some point in early game (whenever its convenient on base). Only sell when you're replacing for a much larger component (e.g. Stopwatch, Needlessly large rod etc). Upgrade it if you think you won't die/you're a gigachad

[@yigitpolat3462]

What if ori matched banshees instead of trying to get voids which could make up to not buying mercs as well?Would it not nullify the value of you not buying more raw damage ?

[@ShokLeague]

If Ori matched banshee I'd probably build void instead of banshee (as long as I hadn't committed to the components) or otherwise I would've been forced to go void staff third. And yeah that'd be a good idea for her honestly given that we have triple ap

[@ghima7006]

hello I like to get better with syndra but I don't really understand why you did go for corrupting potion and not doran ring so somthing. can you tell me why did you go for cp? great video btw

[@ShokLeague]

Nowadays you can always go dring, this was before the dorans changes where you used to go cpot in trading heavy matchups

[@adriyt8548]

Hey Shok, I wanted to tell you that you make great content, I've been watching you for months, and the truth is that your content is pure gold, but I have a question, could you give me some advice on how to get to challenger? and very grateful for your time, Take care of yourself Shok have a nice day and thanks for your time 😄😊

[@ShokLeague]

I'm not sure what advice I can give you that you can't find on my channel, just work on the fundamentals and they'll take you there

[@adriyt8548]

@@ShokLeague Okey thank you so much Shok, and thx for your time, have a nice day 😄

[@yGKeKe]

Know Shok videos are pro play because they're always a patch behind. Ahaha. Sorry. Also, Jinx items...My eyes, MY EYES. BTW, pause at 38:52 Orianna was indeed platinum last split or "Last season."

[@criticalrevel]

if banshee is good for the stats but not so much as a completed item this game, why not sit on components like mantle or the one that costs 1k ?

[@ShokLeague]

You can sit on the mantle sometimes, but banshee is also pretty cheap so sometimes it can be worth upgrading

[@martinfulop484]

If we are not considering movement speed, would it be bettet to buy a blasting ward + dark seal instead of sorc boots for damage?

[@ShokLeague]

Probably yeah, especially since that gives you more dmg to the wave as well

[@H0nGKING]

Thoughts on shadow flame rush? I've also seen many mid laners void rush second after mythic, even where enemy has little MR - thoughts?

[@PeachiiWubs]

Void for gold reduction so it's cheap now. Mythic boots shadow is pretty normal for most mages

[@paranoyepiped]

shadowflame gives you a lot of flat pen, so you basically deal true damage to most of the enemies at the time you buy it (if you went luden's and sorcs) however it scales worse that void staff in the situations when the enemy can/will buy a lot of mr for example champions that can build wit's end and hexdrinker or if you have too much ap in your team so the choice between shadowflame and void staff is not that hard, you just have to analyze both team comps i believe void stuff outperforms shadowflame at around 55-60 mr and of course you have to take into consideration bonus damage to shields from shadowflame:)

[@ShokLeague]

Shadowflame is probably the best 2nd item when there's no other special condition (you need defensive or a void or some weird item like rylais or seraphs). Most of the time though you kinda need something else 2nd, at least in my games

[@Andreas-mr6wc]

hey shok, can you explain why liandrys > ludens when you have a lot of ap on your team?

[@ShokLeague]

Basically because Luden's gives flat pen which isn't that valuable when the enemy team builds MR. So if you're expecting them to build MR (which they should if you have a lot of AP) stuff like ludens/sorcs is generally worse than liandry/cdr boots

[@Beyond_Coach]

I have a question...u were talking about orin not buying Mr early which I agree but should u Buy merks when jg mid are ap even tho let's say they don't have cc ?

[@ShokLeague]

Just buy the null magic and sit on it, you can upgrade it later to banshee 2nd/maw 3rd if ur AD or just keep it in your inventory

[@adamm3247]

what do u think of the ability haste build (liandry, lucidity, cosmic)

[@ShokLeague]

Very strong

[@adamm3247]

would u play even vs 4squishies 1 bruiser comps@@ShokLeague

[@ShokLeague]

Honestly you probably can if you want, having lots of CDR is very OP@@adamm3247

[@adamm3247]

Alright thanks alot for the insight 👍@@ShokLeague

[@shad0wgaming171]

Hi shok a quick question: Is the MMR system ruined? Im playing on my smurf on silver 2 but with emerald mmr, I have 17 wins and 4 loses only, but recently I lost a game and I lost 18pl, I should've loss 5-8pl in that loss, Im not sure how MMR works anymore

[@ShokLeague]

Ever since they doubled the LP gains/losses it's rare to lose less than like 15 points. It's made up for getting gains of 30+ though

[@shad0wgaming171]

@@ShokLeague I'm not really sure, on my main acc with 96W and 76L I loss 28-30pl and I gain 20 pl :C

[@iiverlxssenii3480]

@@ShokLeague Lol i have on Emerald 3 rn 62 wins and 51 loss but im getting literally 14-18 each win and lose -28 / -31

[@jaimais3527]

wait so i've been playing FS on syndra, is phase rush better? or is it just situational, i can't help but feel like First Strike suits her more.

[@ShokLeague]

imo Phase rush is a lot better in the current meta, situationally if they don't have threatening junglers/supps you can get away with other keystones

[@loslich6562]

I know Inspiration has a lot of very good runes, but i rarely see someone use Futures Market, is it that bad? Because i feel like the Value of the Rune is quite high.

[@ShokLeague]

It's not awful, I think it's mainly because it's competing with some other very powerful runes (for example if you can only take 2 in inspiration, most champs want cosmic + boots/stopwatch/demat/biscuits). There are probably champs that should take it over biscuits cause biscuits kinda suck imo but I really like demat so I take that a lot

[@Mich8DB]

is phase rush now the best main rune for Syndra now? not first strike?

[@ShokLeague]

In current meta yea, too many ganking jgs/supports

[@AtefHelmy23]

I swear I will hit diamond for the first time with Syndra

[@theholyroman6283]

I really like getting a tear on first back on syndra, then going archangels, what are your thoughts on this build path? also, when to build cosmic drive on her?

[@avananana]

Tear is decent if you for some reason need a shield from getting executed, but Syndra is a long-range artillery and control mage to a large extent so you should never really be in a situation where Zhonya's or Banshee's isn't enough and both items are better on Syndra than Seraph's. Cosmic Drive is fun but I personally don't build it that much unless it's cloud soul and I wanna vroom across the rift like McQueen

[@ShokLeague]

I think it's good to buy tear if you have nothing else to buy but I don't think seraphs is that great on her. Or rather it's pretty good but you give up a lot of snowball potential getting there, cosmic drive is probably only good as maybe like a 5th/6th item where you aren't needing defensive items and just want more AP

[@Lukke638]

Why u go boots first and not lost chapter ?

[@ShokLeague]

Good for skillshot matchups

[@Lukke638]

@@ShokLeague would you go as a beginner Sandra in gold elo always go first strike or look for matchup for phase rush and electrocute

[@Demon8593]

is TF viable at the moment in high elo?

[@ShokLeague]

imo it's pretty weak, lots of counters and there are better roaming champs. He is viable though just not strong.
