Syndra: Passive for W
I love Syndra.
I love her.
So, obvious aside LETS GET TO THE NITTY GRITTY PEOPLE. IT'S SAL' 'BOUT THEM W+PASSIVE
#FRREEEEEEEE CONTEXT!!! There is a pbe update to syndra's passive (at max rank effects), giving the q 15% true damage instead of 15% bonus damage and giving the e 100% (currently 50% on live) bonus width, W has nothing changed... yet ~~~
UNIQUE W THINGS --------reset dark sphere duration --------reposition things <--------- My favorite --------red/blue buff bonus effects
HOW W IS AS A SPELL ON SYNDRA --------it's your longest range ability, aside from q-e --------best kiting spell on her by far, q-w > q-e (CAST TIME THO) --------it's a rank one kind of spell, meant for utility
WHAT W SHOULD BE (w/ passive upgrade) (not reeeeally 'should' but hey, look free guidelines!) --------it shouldn't compete with q for first max, keep this in mind when thinking about it, you should want it mid-late game not as early as possible --------it should compete with e for second max, but not in the aoe disengage/engage or cc --------what the spell has is already nice. give me icing for this cake. --------new but not without being grounded in the cool things W already has --------not a super long stasis, I don't need to be able to drag blue buff into base further than I already do. which is to fountain. (read don't levy stasis duration it's not cool enough, even if it is unique)
My Ideas!
-
the recast of w, if it lands on a dark sphere do X
-
ADD MORE THINGS LIKE THE RED/BLUE BUFF GRABS
-
A reason to grab minions. ever. (aside from level one, because mana to damage on level one q SUCKS) #MonsterMashOP (I'd like it with something interesting for dark spheres too plz)
-
Dark sphere, the ability to double down on the re-positioning of dark spheres with W (COPY DARK SPHERE!?!?!?!?!?! like grab a copy of it, leaving the original, and holding another. I really like this one, not gonna lie, and it works for being a level 13 thing, or level 18)
-
think gp barrels of fun? the aoe chains to nearby dark spheres? (less practical, more fun, tons of troll)
-
Reset the duration of all dark spheres on the field (jk plz no the ulti nerf would have to come)
-
the duration of dark spheres would be interesting, maybe a semi permanence thing, like only if they are within X range, or have(n't) been used with X)
-
W gives syndra move speed, like either tahm devour (while you're holding something), or like cass q (if you hit a champ gain X movespeed)
-
spreads nearby dark spheres away/ rolling away?
The ever emphatic do-NOT-do list
-
MANA #manaCostsMatter #NOrefunds #plzno #theySaidILackedBalance (no manarino plzerino I simply warrant against it)
-
the aoe, and range and slow are already good #NOGREED. other things. non mana things. (mana tuning I think should be outside the W, and especially the W passive)
-
minimal mechanics, effects are nice tho #AoeRedBuffOP
-
no hard cc. plz. we know what kind of bat this leads too (you already know this though :P)
-
REMEMBER EXACT NUMBERS DON'T MATTER BECAUSE THOSE CAN BE TWEAKED WE ARE IDEA PEOPLE HERE ON BALANCE AND GAMEPLAY <3
-
OTHER THINGS ILL HAVE TO EDIT IN LATER BECAUSE ILL REMEMBER
