Runes: i.gyazo.com/678333648b71b837335482d437f54c74.png Recently I've been taking domination second because I've been trying really hard to always win the first base (first 5 mins) to make sure that I'm stronger for the void grub fight. Taste of blood is really helpful for this as it adds up to a lot of hp so that's the reasoning in case anyone is wondering!
@@iamapseudonym8777 Also, I imagine since Asol matchup means you cant proc Q off of CD (he has good range and 3s Q CD versus Syndra Q 4s - plus with a lot of gank pressure from twitch) and thus trades are mainly base around QE combo, when you are guaranteed to hit comet, makes it better than aery
If you can guarantee the comet hitting (slow with W, stun with E) then comet does more dmg against ranged champs. Against melee when you can proc aery with autos then normally that will be better
Idk Syndra feels weird for me especially her builds am struggling with first and second item, I tried a lot combinations of items but nothing feels right and great compared to last season: Liandry + Cosmic
Hey Shok there’s currently a Korean challenger syndra with a 70% wr playing malignance storm surge/horizon. Seems like it’s great for the early game skirmish rewards, should give it a shot with electrocute. Been playing it in master and having my r on a 45 sec cool down rank 2 feels super nice
As a Syndra main, my feeling is it's not that Syndra is weak but everything Syndra is weak against is strong, so her blindpickness got hurt a lot and she rarely have free games to express herself, you always have at least one heavy menace on the enemy team
She feels very bad into alot of matchups that are currently popular, most supports that I encounter counter her completly (milio, maokai, bard) and has a 48.4% wr on Masters+, isn't that the definition of a champ being in a bad state? Am I missing something? I basically mained her last season but I stopped playing her because of how bad it feels.
I think milio is countered by syndra, but I can agree maokai and bard are pretty tough to deal with. That's kinda the reality of any immobile mage vs those two champs though. imo winrate is a pretty poor indicator of champ strength and I imagine the winrate is pulled down heavily by people picking her in bad games. She's definitely not a champ you can pick in almost any situation like last time
@@ShokLeague If you have time, would u explain why milio gets countered by syndra? My thoughts are that, if hes positioning correctly, he basically doesnt allow syndra to play the game. You get a sick ult e, he ults, he has MS for allies so it's practically impossible to hit long range q/w into e. The only way to win vs milio as syndra would be to hit him with a combo, but that feels quite impossible taking in count how hard to reach he can be.
Hey Shok great video, you had a video before about reaching masters with high ping on NA, what champs do you think are good for high ping like that ? are lissandra + galio still the way ?
I am trying to main learn Syndra and your videos of her have been very helpful. One question though if you can answer, when would you recommend getting Sorcerer Boots compare to rushing Lost Chapter on her as first back priority?
ive seen onetricks going electrocute and the standard is first strike, why comet? also why is it not good to push baron in all 3 lanes since the buff is more spread and effective I guess?
Comet is just the most powerful laning rune, electrocute is better for skirmishing but not that good for laning. The buff is more effective and if you could pressure 3 lanes safely you would, but normally in soloq people won't respect properly and just get engaged on and die so its kinda risky
Because people are still picking her like she was last season, which is really not how she should be used. Purely use her as a counterpick to mages and she is strong
How do you feel about the chapter items? I’ve seen some Syndras rush storm surge and avoid a ludens item. With Manaflow and splinter regen it’s not awful.
they recently made smite not count as a spell. so what this *should* mean is smite+R kayn, smite to pop spell shield and other high skill strategies should no longer work.

What's the reason to go comet instead of aery if you want early game power? Fire vid btw
@@iamapseudonym8777 i think the reasoning is maybe because asol needs to stand still for his Q so comet has a good chance on landing

Really good commentary on a chaotic game lol
"This guy making a knock knock joke? Nah, fuck em"

Have you tried first strike with 3 tonics? 3rd adds 5 to splinters. When you play heavy snowball on mid you get 60 for W upgrade on lvl9
Wtfff the tonic gives splinters?
I like the tonic rune but I don't like first strike that much atm, at least not in the lanes I'm picking her into
Ye skill points give the splinters, not the level ups, so the skill orb you get at level 9 counts
Could you elaborate on ludens vs seraphs? What makes seraphs better?
More AP + the shield is pretty useful if you're a super squishy champ and aren't building any other defense

The items being cheap spikes, with the added Cdr buffs coming to mana items will make the short burst trades into all ins just that much stronger
name?
day 2 of asking for taliyah gameplay

I think at the start of the season this was true with lich bane, protobelt and stormsurge being OP but its not so bad now
I hate how mid is just survive ganks to win, kinda wish they move the turret a little bit so you can go hide quicker when ganked. Good vid as always !
instantly filled with joy when i see you playing Syndra

Can you do an orianna game please!
yoo any plans on making a second channel to just post vods? Love the content and would like to see more
Haven't really thought about it tbh but I might at some point
12:40🤣
Hey Shok great video, you had a video before about reaching masters with high ping on NA, what champs do you think are good for high ping like that ? are lissandra + galio still the way ?
Liss galio are pretty much perfect yeah, a lot of top champs are good too. Slogdogs is NA GM right now with yorick on 200 ping
A Talon game would be very fun to watch.
thanks for the vid shok! really helpfull
Syndra is Op... but the terrors of midlane still haunt her (twitch support perma roaming) 🙃
21:44 "sell the ring for another rod" 🤨🤨
Think she's better again now with fizz/ekko etc falling out of the meta
edit: oh you mentioned this lol
good work bro your videos are always informative
In 7:27 pyke hits the cannon while you are returning to lane but its not a last hit and makes you lose it. Maybe he really is inting
stealth champs is so cancer especially in my elo
I prefer 20x an Akshan than an evelyn or twitch, their detection zone is soooo small,
they can avoid every ward with ease
Lvl1 you don’t win against Asol
Ok
I am trying to main learn Syndra and your videos of her have been very helpful. One question though if you can answer, when would you recommend getting Sorcerer Boots compare to rushing Lost Chapter on her as first back priority?
Sorcs are generally better yeah, the movement speed is really valuable in most matchups and you don't have too many mana problems anyway
The Chickens almost killing you at 12:45 had me dying 😂
They almost fkn got me...
I literally was in a lobby watching this vid and they blinded Asol XD
Did you know it was Twitch support in draft? If not, would you have picked a different champ if you did?
I can't remember tbh, I think I still would've mainly picked for matchup
ive seen onetricks going electrocute and the standard is first strike, why comet? also why is it not good to push baron in all 3 lanes since the buff is more spread and effective I guess?
Comet is just the most powerful laning rune, electrocute is better for skirmishing but not that good for laning. The buff is more effective and if you could pressure 3 lanes safely you would, but normally in soloq people won't respect properly and just get engaged on and die so its kinda risky
Can you play a meelee champ?
Holy moly, never saw this map/camera setup, I really like it
She has a 46% wr in masters
Because people are still picking her like she was last season, which is really not how she should be used. Purely use her as a counterpick to mages and she is strong
How do you feel about the chapter items? I’ve seen some Syndras rush storm surge and avoid a ludens item. With Manaflow and splinter regen it’s not awful.
I tried doing that but I feel like the lack of CDR kinda sucks with those builds
@@ShokLeague did you try going horizon shadowflame with lucidity on syndra? to me it felt really good with cookies and manaflow
Still hyped from last video that we back
I MISSED YOUR SYNDRA GAMEPLAY SO MUCH!!!!!!
Nice video 🙏 But is banshees not a bait vs Vi? To my knowledge, she can smite your spell-shield mid-air, and you will still get cc'ed.
they recently made smite not count as a spell. so what this *should* mean is smite+R kayn, smite to pop spell shield and other high skill strategies should no longer work.
I don't believe she can but if she can then I'm stupid I guess...
so whats a good 1st pick then?
Ahri/Azir/Karma are all pretty good right now as first pick blind picks if you see literally nothing else
@@ShokLeague i mean 1st pick on mid but like i see half their team generally
this video saved my life, thanks shok
i would love to see you playing sylas
Love the chickens at 12:00 they gonna get u!
another banger lets go
can u try a sylad game
2:50 twitch is haram 😂😂😂
shok knows who mother is
CHICKEENNNSSSSS
