Why is Riot ignoring Syndra?

Champion.gg - League of Legends Stats by Champion Role for the Current Patch

Riot stated they wont be focusing on Syndra in the mid-year mage update, yet she is currently sitting at the very bottom, with the lowest winrate among other midlaners. She is buggier than ever, I myself have reported some bugs multiple times, but they were never addressed. As a Syndra onetrick, I am extremely sad that my sovereign isnt what she used to be anymore. Her walking, or should I say floating, is clunky - whenever she turns around her body glitches and I am not sure how it influences the gameplay, but whenever I play her I feel like I am stuck between minions. Her W - Force of Will, sometimes makes you unable to cast it second time if you get ccd while holding something. Her stun combo is completely screwed up again, it often goes through people or simply pushes people back instead of stunning them. She sometimes doesnt pick up all of her spheres when she ults. I think I summed everything up. Rito plz. Syndra item 3070

She's one the champs being looked at during the Mid Year Mage Update I believe.

No, like I said in the post, I am pretty sure they said they arent really focusing on her. Zyra, Brand, Malzahar, Velkoz and some others are their priority. They think she is in a better spot than them, which is, in my opinion, false.

Here's the thing though. She's one of the five getting moderately reworked. Even if she gets less attention than the other four, she's still going to get a good amount of time spent on her.

no she isn't

there are six primary mages in this update. Malzahar, Vel'Koz, Cassiopeia, Vladimir, Brand and Zyra. Syndra isn't part of it unless she's in the minor tweak group that we haven't been informed of yet

Completely false, you mean.

As a long time Syndra main, I have to say, that she's anything but buggy, compared to what was happening in the past two years.

Also, the clunkiness is I believe either that one bug, I've never experienced or you have pathing prediction thing-y turned on. On low-ish pings it even causes champions to teleport.

Can't disagree on being CC'd while using Force of Will, though.

Haven't you experienced the R stutter bug? Close range e ineracting in a weird way. Also as the OP mentioned, if you ult you can't pick up some of the orbs.

The only stutter I ever had was caused by the pathing prediction option I mentioned.

Point-blank Scatter the Weak was always a thing, like things falling out of the cone. I believe it got better, but not perfect.

Picking up spheres after ult... maybe, but considering there are always like 5 on the ground, it's hard to pick one up specifically.

Lel, you are basically admitting that there are bugs, but play them down. Is a bug not a bug anymore?

Vistha Kai1 votes

One "bug" is related to how game option works, but it can't be "fixed" because that's exactly what the setting is about.

The other affects every other similar ability. I did admit it's a thing. Where did you read I didn't?

The third one is straight up impossible to prove without 100% CDR.

You think fancy writing is helping your argument? The third one is not impossible to prove xD. You just gotta ult and try to pick the ones which are fixed on the ground and you can't grab them. Happened to me and happend to other players. As for the stutter bug u can't disable it with the prediction option. This one just occurs when you ult. Lock ur cam and you see it. Again i'm not the only one who experienced the R bug. Pls don't reply anymore since i'm not liking the vibes you are spreading. Have a nice day.

The vibes I am spreading?

I'm talking with you in a polite tone and you in response put words in my mouth and otherwise attack me.

I agree, she feels so weak early game and takes a full build just to satisfyingly accomplish anything.
