New Champion: Syndra, the Dark Sovereign

[Sinndra]

hehe, a new female champ named after me!

(ok not really but its dang close)

[akts]

I wonder if she can toss wards? Or Teemo shroomies

[Deleted]

na i dont want another mid champ, cause i almost never can play mid, everybody and their mother calls out mid after the first second its so annoying, if you then instant pick ap caster as well they flame or go afk. They should change the meta then or simply randomly select champs/roles for the players. Skills seem rather unfinished but nothing set in stone for now i guess.

Errrr, wat? Metagame is created by the players themselves, not by the developers. Current meta has distilled over a long time as the best solution to the equation that is LoL, to change the meta either the entire game would have to be redone from the basic principles or some kinda LoL-genius would have to come up with better usage of resources available to the team. Also, assigning random champions? Seriously...?

http://imgur.com/2EDlu- Some extra info.

She seems like a true AP hypercarry with her passive along with the rest of her kit. Her ult has a potential AP ratio of 1.8, that is pretty sick. Her Q at max level along with CDR will be at a ridiculously short cooldown, with a really good AP ratio. She has really nice CC and decent AOE damage. While no good team will let you just ult their AD carry I can imagine her ult being used together with DFG to insantly take a bruiser out of the fight.

Her damage will probablly be at Karthus levels, which is pretty sick. She has a big glaring weakness though, no mobility or survivability. She doesn´t have the passive of karthus. You´d probablly have to build teams around protecting her, she might be a bit like Cassiopiea.

The best part: Imagine bush camping with her ulti

Actually a dota-like Draft Mode would be nice, for nonranked games at least.

OT: 1.2+ ratio for an ulti is pretty sick. Veigar weeps in terror, heh.

[Arazen]

Her damage is way too high, but it is going to get tweaked. She is kinda similiar to Zyra, because she also drops "mines" on the playfield.

If you are interested, check out the full ability+ratios list here [1]. I really like her style and I hope she is as cynical as Diana.

Think I'll pick her up. I enjoy a degree of complexity in champions.

[Thallidomaniac]

Pretty meh in my opinion. But then again, all the stuff about her being too similar to Diana's DV skin pre-rework look-wise.

[Kuthe]

I hate her, because she changed my Dark Valkyrie skin!

I'm not keen on AP mids, so I won't be picking her up, unless the next champ after her isn't any interesting as well.
I'm not keen on seeing this minion tossing, can see this being used to troll teammates jungling.

[Deadwood]

Everytime I see her... I just think...


I SUMMON DARK MAGICIAN GIRL IN ATTACK POSITION.

You activated my Trap Card!

[Duronos]

It would be interesting if she could toss Baron. If that was possible, it wouldn't be nerf Irelia but rather nerf Syndra.

[Deleted]

But she can grab blue and red. Who needs smite to counter jungle? Pick Syndra and troll enemies ... and your own team if you like.

I think it's a case of: whatever blitzcrank can grab, syndra can pick up.

The only new champion with -real- balance issues(not bugs or simple mistakes that needed fixing) released in past couple months was Zyra. A hyperbole is a good discussion tool when used properly, but when utilized like that it just makes you look stupid.

Poppy's way ahead of you! XD

Right because Rengar is soooo OP.

[Martinussen]

Right because Rengar is soooo OP.

indeed he aint.

He needs to snowball from early game or he'll be useless.

Anyways, i think she looks like malzahar's bitch.
