Syndra Checklist: Farm + Auto Weave enemys Focus on getting splinters over actually killing the enemy Power Spike to become more of a bully is 40 splinters (around lvl 7 if good pace) Try to do the spinter trick for 3 Q's at the 40 splinter level Biggest Spikes are at Ludens, then Shadowflame Imo big multiman stuns are one of her biggest strengths so focus on that in teamfights

[@AshenKing97]

Putting additional advice in the comments? Truly a cut above the rest ❤️

[@SuperPidove]

For the last point, does that mean that Q > R > E could be one of her best (and quickest) methods of approach? The R scattering four balls for E allows you to get that team-wide stun.

12: 53 That timing was just amazing XD. Overall, based on your comments, the rework kind of feels like a nerf, ngl. I don't play much Syndra, but I've always respected her as an opponent just due to constant harass and pressure. I feel like that's kind of been taken away and what we got left isn't really much of a subsitute :/ Anyways, nice vid Pekin. Thanks again for another stomp. >:D

Great Video Dude! I have a question: Is it worth to main her or is Viktor in every stange better than her? Iike both but Viktors winrate is much higher. Gold.

[@EDCGadgets]

Syndra can deal with face-dashers better than Viktor. Syndra also has much higher quickburst, and can kill much further away. Viktor has problem dealing with multiple dashes, Syndra Q-E is more undpredictable, having 2 Q charges (enemy will not know which Q you will use it on) Personally I would choose Syndra every time over Viktor, since there is a Khazix, or Zed every game...

[@PekinWoof]

In most cases u should main what u enjoy playing the most. Every champ can climb to masters just from general knowledge. Some easier than others but at the end of the day you should enjoy playing the champions you are attempting to climb on

[@03VickE3]

Try skipping lost chapter, get blasting wand and amp tome instead. She seriously doesn't need the mana and it's weird. That will open you to actually being able to come back to lane and immediately have a different kill threat threshhold.

[@StefanLopuszanski]

It makes more sense thematically that she is a mid to late game Champion. I just wonder why you'd pick her over Viktor. Better 1v1 burst potential mid game and instant stun instead of delayed. But that's about it. Less harass, less poke, less AoE, less durability. Not sure what they could do to fix it though. Maybe give her Q two charges at start and the upgrade does something else?

[@meloneenbaum]

isnt better 1vs1 and instant stun enough ? lol

[@bustamante-music]

sometimes champs just feel better to play bro

[@christophermedrano290]

I don’t think Viktor has better burst than her, at least not single target. Syndra can guaranteed cut down a squishy with one rotation of her spells faster than Viktor

She still has the same issues as before, many skills counter her ultimate and well 0 mobility comes with its issues as usual.

not sure their design goal of shifting literally all the mages to level 9 champs now days a little too much

[@xVibra]

Especially when the majority of assassins prey on mages once they get to lvl 3 or 6, and the lane can be decided at those points. Not to mention the tanks like Galio, or champs you need to punish like Kass really need to be pressured early to keep enough of a lead to scale better than them into the mid game.

[@catfood4142]

@@xVibra other than that, theres the chaos solo queue environments that your bot lane just refuses to give when the assassin roams on the wards you placed, not to mention many of those assassins actually scale decently fine enough to match those quote on quote late game mages, such as Yone Qiyana(yes Qiyana has a "U" shape win rate curve)

day 243 of asking for Samira mid pls

[@EDCGadgets]

You are throwing away so much damage with these runes and summoners.... I am Syndra main since release, and this rework is actually MUCH stronger in many aspects. Her early game is weaker, yes, but after level 7-9, she is WAY stronger. And it shows in the clip very nicely. She is very similar to Vlad in many aspects now. - First: you should STILL max E second for INTIMIDATION. I know everyone says to max W for the cooldown and the dmg, but League is full of dash champs, they will probably dodge your W after the Q-E stun. If you cant intimidate with Q-E, then they will just happily dash on you and all-in you. Another reason: E is 1.1 AP ratio, much higher base damage. W is 0.85. - Second: buy a blasting wand first, then get sorc boots, it gives her huge damage increase, mana is not as important on her. - Third and most important: get electrocute, instead of first strike. That why you couldnt get several kills, saying "see her damage is lower, I cant kill her". Not true, First strike gives 20-40 bonus damage at a point where Electrocute gives +200. First strike is a mistake because it only kicks in from the 20-25th minute, while Electrocute has good scaling, and is strong since lvl 1. This WILL compensate her weak early game a lot. Electrocute and ignite is the secret, don't throw away 500 bonus damage. She has to come online asap, and it helps. And just side note: yes, previous Syndra can oneshoot with Q-E lategame if fed enough, however the new Syndra Q-E-Q-W is much higher damage, and does not rely on snowballing. She is not like a "hit Q-E or be useless". Also with this mechanics, it's much easier to stack the ultimate, it's almost always a 6-7 ball ultimate. I would say the rework is amazing, you just gotta play it patient till level 7-9. You DO STILL HAVE kill potential with Electrocute and ignite for lane.

[@heraldarnold437]

Hi, guys. To any serious League player, I'm writing this for you and for you to understand the serious implications this game has on your mental health. I've been playing this game for 6+ years on and off, but every time I invest any serious amount of time, my mental health suffers greatly-- a lot of this has to due with long grind this game promotes via ranked(used to be much shorter before the "mmr" changes), the overwhelming amount of low quality games that are infuriating, and the very "rigged" feel of matchmaking. You will end up feeling sour about all the time you wasted in something so inherently toxic, so dubious and grindy by nature. It will make your life worse if you invest any serious time into it. I wanted to illustrate a point to a friend that had their mental down the drain and started a new account at the same time they did-- we never duo'd and he was Silver 4 and I was D3+. He ended up leveling to much faster, won more games, yet looking at the account you would think my friend was the Diamond player. His queue times are 50secs to a min long where mine is on average 10minutes and a lot of the times 15-20minutes, so that's a lot potential wins and a lot more exp being wasted just on queue times alone. I'm waiting for us to get into ranked, which at this point is going to take a while due to unwinnable games and queue times, so I can show him that the system will bring even a player like me to 50% winrates despite my visible rank being bronze/silver after placements. It's rigged to keep you grinding. Don't support Riot if they support this type of matchmaking system! ign: LOL Rigged Game

[@Raauruu]

I had a similar experience, the time it takes to climb it's insane, since I get +11/ -14 lp When I create new acccount, I get +28/-7 lp Which leads me to think Riot just makes ranked experience frustrating to keep you addicted to the game or just to make you play more games Every year they drop your elo one whole league (from plat to gold, for example) this way they force you to climb again to your rank but they don't make it easy I have much more data about this MMR system (if you have 500games on gold, increasing 10% your WR takes 10 times more games than if you had 50games, for example - 5 wins versus 50 to affect the MMR), which forces you to play just more games. Imagine if you took 100 games to reach platinum, and then they demote you to gold, with the same games played. I think, according to what I said previouslt, the second climb will be much harder You just don't climb as fast as you improve in the game. Luckily I quit the rankeds 2 month ago. I changed to Wild Rift, not frustrating at all and I don't feel the urge to play to get my LP back. In general just play for fun do not tryhard this game at all, it's a waste of time.
