Side of SG Syndra Complaints that I haven't seen much discussion on here

So, I did a little research today (using the search bar and typing Syndra and SG Syndra, which if I might add the search function on here is bad. I put if for week and it gave me things from years ago, and you can't order things from new.) and found out that most of the SG Syndra complaints on here is the VO. What I haven't seen much discussion on is the complaint on her skin model that was discussed a lot on the PBE forums and r/syndramains, as well as comments here and there.

Things I would like to clear up since I've seen miss information on the VO situation on some of the threads:

  1. It has been answered on discord about un-filtering her voice here: "Syndra doesn't have unuprocessed VO available, so we aren't able to remove the OG processing. We had it for Varus, which is why one of his skins doesn't' have it."

  2. Even though it is not Legendary, which is why they state they won't give her a VO, it has been shown that some 1350 skins get minior audio tweaks to fit the skin. Example: Freljord Taliyah.

Something else I would like to clear up:

  1. It seems as the rioter tasked with feedback may have been on vacation last or this week: "She's on vacation this week, so she won't be replying too quickly - we have other folks handling bugs, though."

  2. From what I've heard PBE Skin feedback usually last one week, and as of Monday: "This is a statement given by Time Wizard, after discussing feedback with her team. At this stage, her design is locked down"

  3. The SKT Skins that got changed had less PBE feedback then the Infernal Diana PBE feedback which was never changed, meaning don't expect any changes to the SG.

  4. "Syndra doesn't fit" I've seen this comment here and there and she does fit, not only that but skins are made to break the canon/lore of the champ.

Now onto the meat of why I made this thread.

It seems like people haven't noticed or seen the distaste for the SG Syndra's actual model. The common complaints being: Her head piece should be removed or made smaller, her hair color blends too much with her head piece color, her eyepatch design should be changed or removed, her costume is overcrowded, "orianna" skirt, and her color overall color choice.

Here are places that you can see the majority of the complaints:

  1. PBE Feedback Forums

  2. Removal of the headpiece on splash thread on r/syndramains

  3. r/syndramains asking to give riot their feedback

  4. r/syndramains on her skinspotlight

  5. r/syndramains on the SG reveal

  6. https://www.reddit.com/r/leagueoflegends/comments/6tpoyd/the_new_star_guardian_skins_seem_lacking/

  7. Thread on r/leagueoflegnds with a strawpoll

  10. https://boards.pbe.leagueoflegends.com/en/c/general-pbe-feedback/VIrlZFph-oh-no-they-disabled-comments-on-sg-syndra

  11. Comments here and there on the skin.

Now, I'm not trying to make a brigade to try to make change, I just wanted to bring more light to this as it seemed to be in the dark. As stated above the skin feedback is closed and they basically confirmed they wont change her. I just hope they clear up their vauge reasoning for the color choices (other colors could represent this, also doesn't explain why they didnt add more fuchsia or magenta) and costume choices (doesn't give enough insight as these could be removed and still conveyed, design could've also been made better to convey this as she looks really girl with added spikes and eyepatch), especially when the person who gave those vague comment's was already wrong with the eyepatch being more prominent in the splash (stated on twitter and the pbe forums). (I also would like to add that I am not condemning this Rioter, just stating what I feel based on their comments.)

Anyways just felt the need to show that besides the VO there was another battle for the SG Syndra skin.

Skins like that were recorded at the same time as the champion thus is why they do this.
