Atlantean Syndra, Frustration.

Starlighte··1 votes·1,831 views

I am sincerely confused as to what has changed with Syndra's skin. The skin was pulled for QA, similarly to the Rengar skin, and yet with the PBE update, I honestly cannot tell the difference. The skin's textures, color palette, and theme were all ill-received when the skin first came out, and it was pulled to try and alleviate some of those issues to my knowledge. The VFX were also hard to discern when in the river.

So what has changed? Honestly, I can't see it. I personally wouldn't spend 750 on this skin if it were released, which isn't to say that people wouldn't buy the skin simply because it is the only non-release Syndra skin. But a 1350 price tag? Come on. You guys haven't made enough changes to the skin to justify that. I would love to hear from a Rioter as to why this theme was chosen over any of the other suggested themes for Syndra that have been floating around since her release. Honestly though, this skin just feels lackluster.

First two attachments are from 3/19, the second two are from 4/9.

Looking at the attachments you posted, there are obvious differences between the two. Didn't notice it before but now thanks to you I see what changes they've made. I like it. Keep up the good work Riot

Maybe the rhetorical mode was not ideal for this. Yes, there have obviously been some changes made mostly to her "skin". The chest, and hand region. Overall, the texture hasn't been touched. I am more or less curious how the new version is somehow 100% ready to ship, while the previous version was 0% ready to ship so that it had to be pulled. I don't feel that a very minor color addition is enough to justify this skin's completion.

The work that needed to be done might of been some back-end stuff.

"skin's completion."

You're doing a lot of assuming

There isn't exactly a lot of explanation coming from Riot, so yes, I am forced to make assumptions until I hear otherwise. That is why you'll notice in my post I encourage a red to swing by and explain.

i really like this skin, the only thing that I dont like ( I may be wrong because i havent been on PBE and played it) is that the balls are frozen aside from their normal orbit around Syndra, on her other skins they have particle effects that gives the appearance of unstoppable power which these do not
