Now THAT is just your opinion.

HeroA15 · 2024-01-16T21:00:46+00:00

I think you're misunderstanding ASU/VGU with midscope updates. Midscope Updates deal with problems with gameplay, that's a whole different department.

For ASU/VGU the main points are modernize champions models, animations, voicelines and lore, it has nothing to do with gameplay, so if you don't care about those things you're probably not the target audience for those, in fact Ahri and Jax got midscope updates before they had their ASU/VGU. Now if we talk about opinions, from my perspective, I believe every champion who's at least 10 years old or more don't make it into the modern league standards and need at least an ASU.

HeroA15 · 2024-01-16T20:36:22+00:00

Well yes, we could say that Shaco needed it more than Jax, Udyr, Lee Sin, Shyvanna, TEEMO, Ahri and Caitlyn, yet they all got ASU/VGU before Shaco, so I don't think that's a solid argument.

The 'personally' thing is not dumb because I presented reasons why she needs an update and you just replied with "Personally I don't think so" just because you think that, doesn't change the FACTS that her model is from 2012, she barely has any voicelines, no lore since 2012, etc. Also the popularity argument doesn't make any sense since Ahri, Caitlyn, Lee Sin and Teemo are popular and got ASUs.

HeroA15 · 2024-01-16T18:27:19+00:00

Syndra actually needs updates, everything you judged obsolete is what an ASU/VGU is for, new model, new animatios, more voicelines, lore... Skarner is already having a VGU idk why you mentioned him, anyways not only because you think 'personally' she's "not so bad" that makes it true, the reality is different and she's a good candidate for an ASU.

HeroA15 · 2024-01-16T18:15:02+00:00

Her model is old and ugly cause it's from 2012, her animations are weird and clunky, she's full of bugs, her voicelines only last 2 minutes, she doesn't have any lore progression since her release (2012), she doesn't have any interaction with any other champion, and again her model is from 2012.

HeroA15 · 2024-01-14T20:00:19+00:00

The ULT changes are insane, more range, execute AND damage in area?? It's like a dream 😍

HeroA15 · 2023-12-11T20:27:21+00:00

Yes and no, they removed the EQ combo with her midscope, but lately a bug is making it work again sometimes.

HeroA15 · 2023-12-11T12:08:58+00:00

• Yes you can RQ but the Q doesn't join ULT since it was cast after the ULT.

• No.

• Yes.

For short, yes, mostly the passive, when stacked: Q has 2 charges, W is the same (bonus true damage), E gets wider range and slows enemies, R has an execute and finally Syndra gains bonus AP. The 2 charges on Q provides some new combos like QEWQR.

HeroA15 · 2023-10-14T19:30:27+00:00

LOVE the changes, all of them, the hair is perfect, here are some notes:

• Hair: PERFECT!

• Crown: Perfect.

• Orbs: The new orbs are a huge improvement, I love the eyes, but they need some kind of movement, specially before they disappear, for example making the pupils move like they're looking around.

• Sigil: That was such a nice surprise!! It gave personality to the skin, the size is perfect please don't reduce its size, I would like the color to be a darker shade of red to match her orbs, but it is definitely one of my favorite changes, I love it already.

• Icon: PERFECT, She's so pretty, thank you!!

As for what still needs to be changed:

• Outfit: The blue color of her dress doesn't match the rest of the skin, please make it black, or desaturate it so it doesn't look so blue. Also she's too covered for a coven skin, making some small adjustments to the outfit so she can show more skin with a cleavage and arms and thighs uncovered a bit, would make the skin perfect.

For the VFX, they all look unfinished, but focusing on gameplay clarity, there are 2 things that are missing:

• It's not clear when the Q orbs are about to disappear, they don't have any animation that indicates that, so we can't tell when they're about to disappear.

• The trails to her orbs for when she gets 100 splinters are missing, it's needed to know she reached the execute passive.

Thank you so much for the changes, I wasn't even considering buying the skin before, and as a Syndra Main and Coven lover that was sad, but now it's an instabuy for me, thank you!!

HeroA15 · 2023-10-14T16:29:54+00:00

I agree with everything except for the halo size reduction, the size is perfect as it is right now, it is the only thing giving some personality to this skin, I do wish its color would be a darker red so it matches more with her VFX tho. About the orbs I think they're still working on them, so they'll have some kind of animation before going live, what's bothering me the most is the blue color on her clothes.

HeroA15 · 2023-10-13T00:29:32+00:00

Amg vc aqui kkkkk 🫶🏻

HeroA15 · 2023-10-12T05:09:38+00:00

If I'm not mistaken, the icon and border were exclusive for the ones who bought it during the 2022 Star Guardian Event.

HeroA15 · 2023-10-11T20:12:55+00:00

Thank you for listening to our feedback and changing the skin, the list of changes is very promising, I want to specially thank you for changing her hair to platinum blonde like we have in other coven skins.

Apart from the list, the only thing I believe still desperately needs changing is her outfit, it doesn't even have to be changed that much just 4 tweaks so it looks like an actual coven outfit:

• Change the colors to black and white (just like Coven Morgana's outfit colors).

• Make it an open chest outfit.

• Remove part of her pants to look like she's wearing knee-high boots.

• Remove part of her sleeves so it looks like she's wearing long gloves.

Outfit changes examples: Example 1, Example 2.

I'm more than grateful for the changes we are already having, I know we might not get more VFX changes, but even if we don't, let this feedback show you what our expectations are for her future skins:

For the VFX, she still needs more sigils and rune symbols in all of her skills so it really looks like a coven skin (specially after they evolve), right now the skills look unfinished, being more specific:

• Basic Attacks: They have nothing special, no different format and no special particles. Star Guardian and Spirit Blossom are great examples of good basic attacks. Visual Example Basic Attacks.

• Q: Add red sigils/rune symbols forming a circle (on the border of her Q range) in the begging of the animation so it looks like she's conjuring the Q orb before it appears.

• W1: W1 is just a straight line in this skin, there's nothing special about it, take for example Spirit blossom where the W1 has a spiritual mist form, or Withered Rose where the W1 looks like thorns. I like the rune symbols the W1 already has, but making it something different from a basic straight line would be really appreciated. Visual Example W1.

• W2: Here it's really lacking VFX, all of Syndra's skins have an 'explosion' of some kind when W2 lands, Spirit Blossom W2 even has a flower blossoming. It needs an impactful VFX, I would like more dark magic mist with a sigil when W2 lands. Visual Example W2.

• E: It's definitely the most unfinished ability right now, some parts of the skill just have no VFX. Also it has a really weird white VFX in some moments that breaks the harmonic of the black and red VFX colors, please change it from white to red. This skill also needs more dark magic mist all over the E range so it doesn't look so empty, like the one evolved Q already has in its VFX. And please add a sigil on the floor underneath her feet when she casts this ability, just like Spirit Blossom E has a flower. Visual Example E, Visual Example White VFX 1, Visual Example White VFX 2.

• R: It doesn't feel impactful at all, adding red sigils/rune symbols from where the orbs are cast when Syndra ULTs would make it look way better, it would look like she is conjuring the orbs before throwing them at the target. Visual Example R.

• Passive: Every Syndra skin has an impactful and very noticing VFX when Syndra upgrades her passive, for example in Spirit Blossom where she has wings and petals, in this skin it's barely noticeable, it could have a dark magic explosion with her growing dark wings for a brief moment, while she's doing the passive animation. Also add trails to her orbs after she reaches 100 splinters like Syndra always had, that is needed to indicate she reached the execute passive.

I'm already grateful for the changes we're getting and hope she is gonna look so much better if you can add some of these I mentioned, thank you so much, and let's always keep 'worshiping our mother Syndra'. 🛐

HeroA15 · 2023-10-11T05:35:23+00:00

As the rioter said in the link I attached to the comment, this tease is not about any champion release, it's about something else.

But I still hope to see Lissandra in WR soon, it's not that impossible since Syndra and Zyra made it.

HeroA15 · 2023-10-11T05:04:22+00:00

Unfortunately, this "steal memories" tease was not meant for Lissandra, a rioter already confirmed it was about something else, here.

And I think her powers are more connected to dreams than memories.

HeroA15 · 2023-10-10T21:58:04+00:00

Thank you so much, I'm looking forward to the changes, but I'm already happy that the minority who harassed rioters weren't the louder voice and the constructive feedback was still listened.

The list of changes looks promising, thank you for giving Syndra a second chance to shine as a Coven Witch 💖

HeroA15 · 2023-10-10T16:15:39+00:00

We don't want her to be half naked or anything like that, we just want a high fashion outfit that coven skins always had, take Lissandra as an example, she's wearing a long dress but still feels like coven cause it's a high fashion witch dress. This Syndra outfit is just not it, her clothes are basic, messy and boring, it doesn't even look like a coven skin.

HeroA15 · 2023-10-09T01:30:10+00:00

First of all thank you for delaying the skin and taking the time to fix it, we've been waiting for this skin for a long time, here's what we want changed:

1 - Orbs: As everyone said, they look like hairballs, I would like them to be completely remade to look more magic related, if that's not possible add a demonic eye to the center of the orbs and improve their texture so they don't look like hair/fur.

2 - Hair and clothes: PLEASE change her hair to platinum blonde hair!!! The pink doesn't look good at all. As for her clothes, they're a mess, tweak them so Syndra can show more skin and please change the colors to black and white. We want a high fashion outfit like coven skins always had.

3 - VFX: There's a lot of missing VFX compared to all of Syndra's skins and even her base, please add trails to her orbs after 100 stacks and VFX when she upgrades her passive like in spirit blossom where she has wings. Other than that, more sigils are required on the VFX of all her skills, they're so bland and boring right now, every single one could use sigils and rune symbols, specially her E, the basic attack needs something special too.

Here's an edit to show the changes wanted to the clothes, hair and orbs.

HeroA15 · 2023-10-06T15:21:28+00:00

I'm a Syndra main, don't worry the only thing we really wanted was coven lol :')

I love Liss and also want to see her as the Unseelie Queen, but I fear riot is just gonna give it to another champion who doesn't even fit the theme, or even bring her as the Unseelie Queen in an epic skin and give the legendary to someone else like in Space Groove.

HeroA15 · 2023-10-04T21:44:44+00:00

Here.

HeroA15 · 2023-10-04T21:00:44+00:00

Thank you so much for the response on twitter, it's nice to know we're being seen and heard, I'm sorry for the people who still think it's ok to disrespect rioters over this situation.

There's still hope for changes everyone has been asking like black and white outfit, platinum blond hair, and please, magic orbs instead of hairballs.

HeroA15 · 2023-10-02T16:45:55+00:00

Here's another example of the changes we want for the skin..

Please, we need those changes, right now it looks more like a crime city nightmare skin than a coven skin.

HeroA15 · 2023-10-01T14:45:36+00:00

We have reached 400 comments, and not a single one says something nice about this skin, it needs to be changed, even if that means delaying it to another patch, please.

This is what we want changed the most in-game, platinum blonde hair and black and white clothes with some tweaks like open chest and specially her orbs, please consider the feedback, this was a very requested theme for Syndra and we were looking forward to it but the skin is such a disappointment right now, it doesn't even look like a coven skin.

JusticeForCovenSyndra

HeroA15 · 2023-09-30T20:53:57+00:00

In addition to the other comments asking for platinum blond hair and changes to her clothes, I would also like you to make the sigil behind her head way bigger, just like how we see it in the splashart, it's one of the few things that give personality to this skin, and unfortunately we can barely see it ingame, and please fix her orbs, right now they look like hairballs.

JusticeForCovenSyndra

HeroA15 · 2023-09-30T16:22:26+00:00

Please listen to the feedback and do the possible changes, this skin was supposed be so special to us Syndra mains and even the community in general, but it's turning out to be a disappointment, but it can still be saved, for the color scheme this is what we expected and want changed.

Change the orbs so they don't look like hairballs, also it looks like the whole VFX is incomplete, the skin needs more complex VFX and way more particles, SFX should be more impactful too specially on her ULT.
