If only you could hop on Teemo shrooms and pretend to be Super Mario.... if only...

instant mega gnar every time. Satan Teemo skin lets you throw fireballs instead of boulders.

You can also jump on Jayce gates. I assume it's related to the old "everything is minions" story.

Most likely, yep. It'd be nice if Riot will just tell us what's coded as minions.

VerandureOct 5, 20166 votes

Everything. Taliyah's wall, Yorick's circle, anything the player creates is coded as a minion.

(I asked the devs during their Yorick pre-release stream).

Even Aurelion's stars?

CookyPrinceOct 5, 20161 votes

No, and sadly you can't ward hop with gnar

FantasySniperOct 6, 20162 votes

Those are coded like a perpetual projectile. Similar to Diana's or Ahri's.

thanks, now I play Gnar into syndra

Vistha KaiOct 5, 20162 votes

Good luck with that. You are going to bait yourself into getting stunned on the spot. ;)

how about jumping on jarvan wall or flag?

Alistar's heal visually affects Syndra's orbs, lol

sounds like a bug to be honest.

syndras spheres have to be coded like minions to work with her e. either they should be untargetable though, or riot is aware of this interaction, but its very obscure.

has someone tried to deal damage to them and destroy them?

can TahmKench eat the spheres and spit them out? it should work if theyre targtetable for gnars hop.

can Nunu eat spheres?

can you summoner 11 them?

i actually want to try what other interactions are possible.

Everything. Taliyah's wall, Yorick's circle, anything the player creates is coded as a minion.

i also wonder if its possible for syndra to pick up segments of taliyahs wall and throw them. if there is a bug going on with objects coded as minions right now, it might also affect other champion abilities like this.

The fact is that Gnar doesn't target stuff to bounce on it. It's just an AoE check. Tahm needs to actually click on a unit. However, something that could work is his QW.

might be worth a try if he can yoshi tongue lash them.

but i guess it rules out consume and smite.

Might be coded oddly like how GP barrels are coded to work differently. Some combination of that and Zyra seeds (can't be dealt damage or attacked, and units do not have collision with it).

Rook LouxOct 5, 20161 votes

Im pretty sure there was a bug on the pbe when the mage update was coming out where zyra seeds were targetable. Minions would attack them but counldnt kill them because they dont have a health bar. You could also use vlad q on them and heal.

Well when Gnar hops on Syndra sphere's they kind of pulsate. Idk if this is intended or not. But to me, the only person interacting with Syndra sphere's should be syndra, braum, and yasuo.

FantasySniperOct 6, 20162 votes

Tahm can cheek and spit plants. He can't even land abilities on barrels, so there's no eating them.

Vistha KaiOct 5, 20165 votes

Logic dictates that everything is working using flags.

That is all of those abilities, such as Tali's wall have flags like "untargetable", "invulnerable", etc. which other abilities check for. They have to, because such abilities are no different than minions without those flags.

For example Syndra could pick up the Baron not so long ago, read that as: somebody messed up and removed a certain flag from Baron.

The point with Tahm's Devour, Nunu's whatever and Smite, is that they are targetted abilities, so even if somebody removed a flag from Syndra's Spheres allowing them to be interacted with other abilities, it'd require the "untargetable" flag to be removed as well. In other words somebody would need to fuck up twice, to be able to Smite Dark Spheres.

On the other hand Syndra picking up stuff has it easier, because it's actually an AoE looking for valid targets, so you don't have to aim anything.

Probably a bug.

Vistha KaiOct 5, 20161 votes

Coded as minions.

Probably a bug.

I assume so as I don't believe it worked in the past.

Electro522Oct 5, 20161 votes

I'm a level 7 mastery on him, and I didnt know this either. I did learn, however, that you can hop on Heimer turrets.......which makes alot more sense then Syndra spheres.

kile147Oct 5, 20161 votes

Heimer turrets have health and are targetable so that makes sense. I'm actually more surprised you can hop off the spheres but can't hop off of wards. (If you can hop on wards I'm going to slam my face into a table because I'm doubting myself now...)

Joma JoestarOct 5, 20161 votes

LOOOOL didnt know it [slayer-pantheon-rainbows]

mustafa2881Oct 5, 20161 votes

well at least someone does call them spheres, plus yea, they count as a unit, everything on the map does, dragon, teeto shrooms, not sure about jhin traps though, but heh, they are all units

Mistress MadokaOct 5, 20161 votes

Mordekaiser can also use his W on Syndra's Spheres

Spaghetti code, man

Malicious MetalOct 5, 20161 votes

Well, I can tag her balls with my Harvester of Sorrow when playing Morde XD

AgeOfTheMageOct 6, 20162 votes

XD, that might actually make a nice synergy, imagine using your w on a ball, having her throw it at them, and reactivating w for the kill CX

WAIT WHAT?!?

KoKobotoOct 6, 20161 votes

Hmm if that's the case you can probably Gnar jump on Yorick W because it's coded as a circle of minions

Lord GalvatronOct 6, 20161 votes

Still not as dank as the Gnarvan. The Jarvan Q E combo with simultaneous Gnar E (Hop+crunch) on Jarvan, into Jarvan ult into Gnar ult.

That. Is what you call perfection.

RedagaOct 6, 20161 votes

Syndra spheres codding (usually as minions, idea if they changed that already) and how she interacts with the balls is 1 of the reason she has been plagued with bugs constantly since her release.
