Big Plays: Riven & Syndra’s Smackdown

RiotPreeti·10/10/2014, 6:26:08 PM·52 votes·234,066 views

Welcome to the Big Plays Spotlight! In this feature, we highlight the most epic plays, from meticulously-coordinated early tower dives to mind-blowing cross-map jukes.

After a skirmish gone wrong, the surviving members of purple team scatter in retreat. But not all hope is lost: Translogic and kfo, two Challenger-ranked players, spot an opportunity for redemption. With Riven barreling toward her, Syndra baits three enemies into a bottleneck. As soon as the Dark Sovereign funnels her foes into prime position, she unleashes a setup stun to prep her ally for a blistering, three-champ demolition.

We’d love to feature your biggest plays, so post a link in the comments below or submit your clip here!

It's nice to see these kind of snapshots of cool moments once in a while but does it always have to be from the Koreans? I don't know but it feels a little biased because there are some really crazy moments happening all the time in many places but they are getting most of the spotlight already, I know that statistically there are more professional players from around the Asian region but it shouldn't always be the deciding factor. item 2010 food for thought?

I saw Riven in the big plays title and expected Q button mashing, but this is far from it. Very nice.

I know I'm off topic here, but how cool would Gnar and Azir be in a League of Legends Cinematic?

Y'know, I'm starting to think summoner 4 is the only way to make plays.

Sometimes I wonder how many of these were really good plays or just the kind of awesome thing that happens from time to time but the higher players know how to capitalize? I mean, the position Syndra was in she really had no other way to run unless she went towards the enemy team. A Q + E is standard to escape so basically it was just Riven seeing the opportunity to flash stun R. That's my perspective, especially if this was soloqueue

Hrm... I really do question whether this is a 'big play' simply because there's not much info to go off of, sure its an excellent display of co-ordination and snap decision making, things critical to good plays, but without proper info, a map, or anything of the like, all I see is a nicely timed Wombo, which I am fairly certain DOES happen all the time... I want to know if purple was behind and this put them back in, or if they used this play to secure an important objective, or if this started the snowball to winning the game.
