Riot Leaks New AP Champion Syndra at Gamescom
4 Comments

Gamescom is in full swing Summoners!  And it looks like a nice little surprise rolled out today in Germany.

Not even a day after officially announcing Regnar as the next champion to League of Legends, Riot decided to show off another upcoming champion – an AP caster known as Syndra.

From early speculation, she appears to be some sort of gravity-type mid lane champion.

And thanks to some extremely active members of the LoL community and Curse.EU, we have a general breakdown of her upcoming skills, abilities, and gameplay below!  Check them out and let us know what you think.

    I think the w is more like dark sphere moves directly way from the caster and knocks back enemies it strikes. Other than that, I’d say those are pretty pretty accurate. Not sure about what the passive is yet though.

    Just saw the interview with the lead designer, Ryan Scott and learnt some interesting things about this new champ. Like she can manipulate any minion in the game (expect Dragon & Baron). So she can do stuff like pick up Blue or Red buff and fling them.

    Seems like an interesting champ. Not sure if I’ll enjoy her playstyle.
