There's a piece of Morde and Syndra fan art... Which I'm not allowed to post here.

Goddamnit!

Let's just say it's an accurate representation of how that Mid lane matchup goes, right?

EvilUnicornLordOct 27, 201620 votes

Y'know, you can ship Morde with anyone you want assuming he killed them.

Mad King HadesOct 27, 20165 votes

That is what I have been saying for quite some time. You must have taken over my philosophy.

crippler38Oct 28, 20161 votes

so he killed it?

rtbf225618241Oct 28, 20161 votes

Except that i'm kinda wondering how the hell does he even travel from the Shadow Isles.

Plus he's far inferior to some other champions. But i guess we're just assuming here.

Which I'm not allowed to post here.

Why, I wonder.

I personally like the Syndra x Zed ship, not the Morde one lol. It has a really cute comic to go with it too

Syndra and Taliyah feel extremely fluid to me and they have fast combos which makes them REALLY fun for me. I would really hate the ban hammer to crush another one of my favorite champs.

Ayame IsakiOct 27, 20162 votes

The Vector cast really hurt the fluid feel of Taliyah; especially since you can't cast it out of range and have Tal move the three extra millimeters for you.

shalexadeOct 28, 20161 votes

Completely agree. Think it's the "can do damage while moving" aspect that they both enjoy.

Great champs.

CookyPrinceOct 27, 20166 votes

Syndra And they said I lacked balance

You can't make jokes like that - some downztrolls don't understand it. I tried too. Here, have an upvote and a cookie as compensation.

Awww, what a cute pussy! ...Wait, that came out wrong, didn't it? :O

For those with a limited vocabulary, dishing out random downvotes, "pussy" can also refer to a cat or usually a kitten. Google it! >_<

People are just sheep with these worlds.

She has so much counters right now Fizz Lux Velkoz Talon Ekko Zed , they have a longer range or they can become untargetable, which denies Syndra's ult. Also, her counters will be buff with the Assassin update, just chill.

You do realize she can just build Zonya's for when they become untargetable and then click R? Or she can just click it beofrehand. Syndra doesn't have any real counters tbh.

Why talon

Great FoxOct 28, 20161 votes

Only two people have longer ranges than Syndra, and that's Lux and Xerath (barely xerath). Syndra has the potential to stun someone from across a lane, and her toss has a range of a whopping 1425

KnalxzOct 27, 20162 votes

I just don't like it when people shove their balls into my face. Now if they killed me doing so, you better believe I'd be pissed.

Sup im CarrierOct 27, 20161 votes

Because people also hate Zed , and we all know about Zed x Syndra , so the hate come from Zed .

TL;DR, Zed is the reason why people hate Syndra .

EvilUnicornLordOct 27, 20162 votes

No, it's more hate for any and every champion they don't play.

It's always, "my main is so weak" and "X champion is so strong".

DISCLAIMER: I am not hating on any champion, I am just saying how everyone hates every champion they don't play.

TheMinezOct 27, 20161 votes

Meh, when I played jungle kog I openly admitted to how broken it was and even encouraged friends to play it for freelo.

And that is why one of my friends got to plat 1 and is nearly diamond.

Because Zed was OP at some point and currently Syndra is way overtuned hence her ridiculous ban rate. Has Nothing to do with playing or not having played a certain champs. These two are also extremely oppressive and not fun to lane against.

EvilUnicornLordOct 28, 20161 votes

It's actually very easy to lane against Zed. Pick Garen.

When midlane mages give juggernauts their toplane back (this does not apply to toplane mages such as Kennen and Ryze), assassins can have mid back. XD

Cute? No.

Canon? Yes.

And because Riot Games itself backs it up, we're cool here.

Vistha KaiOct 27, 20165 votes

Canon = Listed as "friends" with no explanation whatsoever.

For comparison Swain is Sion's "friend"... and a "rival".

EvilUnicornLordOct 27, 201616 votes

You're forgetting the part of the lore where Syndra joins Zed because they both seek to disturb the peaceful ways of Ionia. ~~Also, Zed knows he wants that booty.~~ Thus, it is not wholly unreasonable to ship them unlike Riven and Shyvana, Rengar and Nidalee, and several other ~~ships~~ ocean floor debris.

Vistha KaiOct 27, 20168 votes

I'm not forgetting that part, because I'm not aware of its existence.

EvilUnicornLordOct 27, 20164 votes

I would send you a link to the unabridged lore, but this website isn't working on mobile so you're just going to have to search for it.

Also, what do you have against that ship, anywho?

Vistha KaiOct 27, 20162 votes

I'd love a direct link, because I found nothing I didn't know for years.

The only quote referencing they could have any kind of interaction:

Though their paths have been different, Zed and Syndra have similar goals. Both believe the 'balance' that has maintained Ionia for so long must crumble for Ionia's people to come into their own and realize their full potential. Syndra might take interest in Zed's power, and given the right circumstances, an alliance between the two could "tip the scales" in Ionia all the more.

EvilUnicornLordOct 27, 20161 votes

Well, that's close enough!

Vistha KaiOct 27, 20162 votes

That's nowhere near close to "let's be fuck buddies", which you implied was true.
