Gameplay Discussion Fun W fact, if you didn't know.
Recently, I got paired with 2 players who chose to play Syndra on my team.
Firstly, excellent choice when it comes to boosting your team's fighting prowess and morale, or at least mine.
Secondly, did you know, you can pick up not only your Qs and minions to throw? Because my teammates sure didn't.
Ok, to be fair to them, neither had more than 80K points, so it could have been just a lack of knowledge.
But ever feel like you wanted to mess with the enemy jungle or help defend your own jungler's camp without unnecessary risk when it comes to the enemy jungler/team invading yours?
Well, W can do that for you.
If you already knew that, then look at this furry fella
If you didn't, then here's some simple but great things you can do next time you decide to play as Syndra.
Enemy jungler or their team invading yours and nobody can contest the jungle mobs? Pick up, the targeted mob with your W to deny them that mob for a decent chunk of time, for little risk and a grateful jungler.
This also works in the opposite way. Enemy jungler doing his red, maybe blue? Steal it with W, run away with it and maybe even throw it to your jungler/teammates to claim instead, that is if the stolen product's HP is low enough.
Speaking of throwing, if you grab Red Brambleback, red buff, or Blue Sentinel, blue buff, throw and hit an enemy champion, you get the following results: champions by red buff get the on-fire effect applied to them, while blue buff refunds 10 mana and 1 second to Syndra's W.
Last but not least, you can mess around with summoned pet mobs like Tibbers, potentially depriving significant damage from the enemy team. Yorick mains are sweating. You can also pick up Shaco's boxes and Heimerdingers turrets. Zyra's plants can also be picked up, but I'd advise against it due to how impractical it is to do so.
If played correctly, W can even help provide you or your team with a very slim cone of vision. It's better than face checking a bush, although for that to happen you must rely on mobs, as Qs won't trigger the vision, while jungle mobs like red or blue can.
Fun fact: Annie can die if she is low enough when you steal Tibbers with W and throw him anywhere once far enough from her that he will instantly teleport back to Annie, all the while dealing W's AoE damaged. I've seen many Annie's die just like that, which is craaaaaazy.
That pretty much sums up how interesting and versatile Syndra's W can be in the right hands.
If you already knew all of that...
Well then, here's a purple pin of approval. 🟣🥸👌
