I miss her old splash art a lot
However the f did they manage to fk remaking it like a decade later is insane

I heavily disagree with the rune and item setup. Arcane comet is almost always better since first strike has zero power in lane and you have no pressure. For items Blackfire Torch is much better since it does more dps and gives her favorite stat: Ability haste.

You didn't mention the bug with W, where you double tap very fast on the edge of the maximum range and sometimes it gives you additional range like half of the sphere or an additional sphere. It is not that consistent but helps trade with surprise

📘 Additional Info
Leblanc next👀 @ZooseLoL
In this guide I break down every part of Syndra’s kit — Transcendent (Passive), Dark Sphere (Q), Force of Will (W), Scatter the Weak (E), and Unleashed Power (R) — including practical trading patterns, sphere control, wave management, how to survive burst, and when to use each ability offensively or defensively.
We also cover Syndra’s strongest Season 16 items like Luden’s Echo, Sorcerer’s Shoes, Blackfire Torch, Shadowflame, Rabadon’s Deathcap, Stormsurge, Cryptbloom, Hextech Rocketbelt, and Zhonya’s Hourglass, and explain how to adapt your build versus assassins, tanks, and mixed team compositions.
Lissandra next?
You’ll also learn Syndra’s primary rune setups — Arcane Comet and First Strike — and when each one excels depending on your matchup, team composition, and playstyle.
If you’re searching for Syndra mid lane fundamentals, clean trading patterns, sphere positioning, wave control, teamfight execution, reliable stun setups, or a ranked climbing strategy, this guide will help you level up fast.
I would love to see a video for a tank mind, either Galio, or a more niche pick like K'sante. Video was super informative as always.
More User Perspectives
love this thank you. ive been struggling to actually comprehend and understand the "ADVANCED" and DEEPER understandings... this was wonderful.
@mitchellw8843Thanks for the guide, really useful!
@Danielgt7-f4mjust wanted to say that i LOVE your guides. they are very well made and with that quality anyone would wonder why you only have 28k subs (not saying 28k isnt much but ur guides are just way past that)
@7nnentityCould you do heimerdinger guide ? I’ve always wanted to learn how to use that annoying bastard
@edo27You’re my fave league beginner guide maker currently!
@edo27Can u make an akali guide pls
@mkeur2009...and most of all thanks for using her old MAJESTIC Splash Art !
@deny_sThank you for yet another awesome guide! You're releasing so many :D
@PotatoPandahwait i remember commenting about this 😂
@scootbtw648Title: Everyone Plays Syndra Almost Nobody Plays Her Correctly
Me: bro this guy Takes Biscuits as his runes...
Also Me: sees attack speed shard. and cosmic insight.
yesssssss
@mvrzlGreat guide and even tips I didn't know!
I would like a more dedicated "Draft" or "team composition"
- Which kind of champion (role/ playstyle) are good to have on your team/ which are bad on the enemy team (even if they're not your lane opponent)
- How blind-pick friendly is she? (very) So, when should you pick her in draft?
- you had a great information about side-laning, I'd like more focus on macro since she loves scaling and mid is her golden time
WHERE is her basketball skin bro
@Keystation00If everyone is playing her wrong, that just means you are playing wrong. period.
@lonyliang1161Zilean video pls🎉😅
@martir851She's Op
@martir851I don’t even play midlane but these videos are so well done I watch them anyway
@magic_taxes42I have Cassiopeia down to the philosophical level after playing her only for 7 years now. Maybe I give in and learn Syndra in addition lol. This type of video is a great showcase of knowing the "Why" behind the scalings and overall champ design. Great content.
@cadenglick7783Maybe im not the target audience, but you took 30 mins to explain a really basic champion which couldve been said in 5-10mins.
@Dystopie173You didn't mention a high level syndra W interaction where the orb or minion travels behind her when moving so you can turn away from your target so W lands faster.
@robinshim9671Chogath mid is such weird and unique pick id really appreciate a guide on him although he definitly is a rare champ to see
Also i loved your guide on Viktor it helped me so much
yone next plsssss
@ShAyAnj82Thanks for another great guide. Really clean and easy to follow
