The Mob Mentality Strikes Again

Slythion·Oct 10, 2016·3 votes·498 views

absolutely no one had a problem with Syndra before, but the moment she does well in Worlds all of a sudden every Syndra some one plays against is OP...as though the success in worlds affected the success in regular play in any way whatsoever...

and it's a cycle too, so if someone complains about being beat by Syndra they are reinforced by peers on the boards saying how she's op, while if someone complains about a champion that isn't on the board's "hate rotation" atm, they would just say "git good" or actually provide tips on how to play against them.

and I'm not saying everyone on the boards are like this, it isn't nearly as bad as the Zed hate awhile ago or Yasuo atm but it's enough for it to be visible

I'll just leave this here for you guys http://www.champion.gg/champion/Syndra

everyone is allowed to have their own personal dislike of champions, but no one was spamming the boards about how "op" Syndra was until after they saw her in Worlds. After that, they just assumed every time a Syndra beat them was because she's op and not just that they didn't play the matchup right :/

A few months back everyone was complaining about Syndra. Riot ignored them. Now that she is in worlds and her kit is being broadcasted, It's obvious she needs a nerf.

They are only bringing it back up (Again) on the off chance Riot realizes that they just showed the whole LoL community on live TV the unbalanced champion.

I highly recommend that you take a look at the link that I provided

If you still believe that she requires a nerf, I'd like to hear your reasoning. Just know that serious Balancing discussions are about statistics and data, not a "cancerous kit"

example: Just because she can stun with multiple balls does not make her op if there is no actual data to support that she is strong.

I only say this due to that nature of the boards and how players start falling down to the "i think the kit is cancerous" argument more often than not

IIRC people had an issues with her having the range of Xerath but with stuns. I believe the other thing was people don't like press R to win champs. Hell we saw it on a proffesional level yesterday. Syndra hit R and deleted Ezreal from full HP.

The main reason I believe is the no counterplay aspect.

Indeed, she has a kit that many people could find to be anti-fun and I can understand that...but is she really op? Every stat possible suggests she's balanced or maybe a bit underpowered imo

I just frustrates me when the boards repeats the same mob mentality characteristic despite there being no reason that effects them to complain about
