Just wanted to say I just started playing league and your content has been one of the biggest reasons as to why this game has been so fun for me, keep up the good work!
Hello Coach Mysterias, I was super excited to see what a high-elo Syndra would do against Sylas, but this was not what I was expecting. I think that you severely misplayed the matchup. I am only Emerald IV right now, so there may be many things that you did and make sense but I just don't understand, but that's only one more good reason to bring up some questions about your gameplay. I don't know if maybe you had a bad day/you were tired or if there was some other factor influencing your gameplay and this is just not how you usually play, but I would like to ask you about how you handled the matchup regardless. Lastly, I want to make clear that I am not trying to insult/attack you, and I am just curious about why you did what you did on the game! 32:29, while getting as much poke on the Sylas is a good idea, if the Sylas is competent he can actually try to get an E on you before the minions get in the lane. Isn't trying to Q him there a really bad idea? Even if you hit a max range Q on him, he is still in range to get on you with an E even if you back away immediately. Thankfully you do sidestep it, but I'm not sure if that's too replicable. 32:34 Syndra hates early game skirmishes, and looking at your comp compared to the enemy's, I think there's nothing you can do without E there, let alone win a 3v3. Don't you just expose yourself to the Sylas? Why did you enter the river? 33:08 33:21 isn't that just super bad E usage? If he were to sidestep that Q and sacrifice the minion, you'd probably have to blow flash or blow flash and die, unless you sidestep his E. 34:03 this is a super small detail but you could let the W's duration run out, leaving the cannon undamaged, further helping the freeze? 34:18 seeing as the wave will bounce out if the Sylas doesn't touch it (which I'm assuming is what Sylas wants in this situation) is it worth getting the first strike and the stack for getting E-ed there? Don't you want as much HP as possible to help you survive the bounce? I think that you could have positioned yourself behind the casters or even the melees there. 34:25 is there anything to be gained by that W? You can't get a stack on him, and you also hit the wave, hindering whatever sort of freeze you had going on. 34:33 I'm assuming that if he were to hit the E and trade onto you right there, he would also be damaging the wave, helping the freeze and actually aiding your safety in the lane. But then again you attempted to sidestep the E and it worked. So was him damaging the wave not what you had in mind? If so, shouldn't you have positioned yourself closer to the incoming wave, attempting to use it as a shield against Sylas' E? 34:36 it seems to me that the Sylas is misplaying as well, damaging the wave with his Q, bailing you out of the bounce somewhat. Isn't your E justifiable there by only that fact? 35:10 I'm assuming that your idea is to get the creep and E the Sylas as soon as he uses his E1, since the minions would block the E2 there. Since you don't E him, isn't that just a mechanical misplay? If you really wanted the creep you could also W it and use it on Sylas or use it to get other far away minions. Seeing that the wave is bouncing out it does make sense that the enemy Support and Jungler can look to gank you. Is that the reason you held your E? If so, could you have W-ed the minion, allowing you to tether the Sylas more effectively, or just letting it die completely? 35:14 the Sylas hits the wave once again hindering the bounce. That bounce would allow him to get a freeze on you which would be devastating for your lane. He could also be prepping to try and crash a wave and then dive you. Is the dive better than the freeze for Sylas in that situation? 35:25 you are moving right out in the open in the same place. Shouldn't you be at least trying to move in different ways to make Sylas second guess where to send his E2? You've also been trying to sidestep downwards/right the entire laning phase, giving the Sylas a very very easy target. Isn't that a lot of poor micro from your part? 35:30 couldn't you W the minion from further away, or give it up completely to wait for your E? Yes Syndra vs Sylas is a very tough lane, but am I wrong to think that Syndra can minimize way better than what you presented? In my Emerald IV opinion, that game doesn't exactly inspire Syndra Mastery. Thank you for taking the time to read this. I really hope you could give some insights on the points/questions I wrote. Have a great day!
Hey mate i really appreciate the way you give feedback here! Very thoughtful reply! Add me on discord: mysterias ill add you and make a private video response regarding your questions and re review the game 🙌🏼
Hey Coach! I seem to remember that in a previous video where you broke down which items to buy on Syndra and which were bait, you pointed out Shadowflames anti-synergy with Syndra's kit due to her R execute. Is your purchase of Shadowflame related to the buff that increased the true damage threshold or am I simply misremembering the context from the previous video? Thanks so much for all that you do for our community! ❤
That is correct! since then the item did get buffed and now i actually think its good to buy, especially with Raba being slightly nerfed aswell good question :)
This video has been humbling. You are constantly pressuring leblanc and going in and out of her range. But you are still healthy enough to overstay for your lost chapter (with 2 hp potions). On top of this, you still have 250 mana by using your passive properly. Also, these small details like going into her range and then using E + Q. This is just a vent, but a year ago I was master 170lp and then I quit the game. Now I'm playing again since 2 months ago and I'm around D3 level. I feel like I do everything the same as back then and that I belong higher... but this clip here kind of made me realize how many small micro adjustments I'm still missing. No clue how you do it, but you are exactly out of her W range all the time. When I play against Leblanc I'm much further back. Oh, and I'm glad that the pink ward in the sidebush tech is still a thing even after the map changes.
What an amazing comment dude its really good that you manage to reflect on it that way. DO keep in mind that master 170 lp last year is about D2 atm due to the ranked changes. So dont beat yourself up too hard!
Do you have any advice on the quick w recast? It happens randomly for me, but Im unable to replicate it consistently. I see you and players like Nemesis do it much more often. Ive heard multiple different things like just click really fast or turn around for a milisecond before W1 but idk.
Yes! W recast is mainly done by dubble clicking the place where you want to throw the W since the pickup of the ability happens pretty much automatically
Game 1 was tricky due to the draft difference so id say game 1 was about an 7/8 game 2 was tough due to the janna so i reckon a 10 game 3 was quite a lot easiert due to a solid draft and winning sides so thatd be a 2/3 ATM ive been going either blackfire --> cosmic OR ludens into Horizon. If i need burst --> ludens if i want more utility --> blackfire
Hey, Coach! I have a few questions. 1) In the first game, is W max the standard now? What's the advantage of it over E max? 2) What are the thoughts on going Rabadons third instead of banshees or going banshees second into rabadons? Because at that point your just saying you're not gonna be getting rabadons this game and not do any damage. Thank you!
Hey mate good questions!, W max after Q has always been the standard since its where your damage comes from more then E 2) I should have went rabadons third i messed up with going banshees had another game today in which i went banshees third and dealt 0 fkin damage i think its just not good compared to raba
Why do u build Ludens over Seraphs? does Syndra need the dmg from ludens or does she not need the tankiness from seraphs against assasins like collector corki and leblanc ? because i personally almost always build seraphs and wonder if its bad to do
I never build seraphs on syndra i always go either ludens or blackfire for damage. You dont need the shield per se as you have your E for self peel. When you go seraphs i usually find i deal tool little damage and can never oneshot enemies
hey coach i am youtube seo expert , i was visit your channel and notice every video mekeings good but view fast few days increase but few days left frizz this problem hapend because your TH-cam SEO mot makeing good i can help you solve this
ohhhhh man, it hurts my heart and confidence to see people troll in high elo... i thought it only happened in silver/gold 😆 besides that.. how do you deal with syndra vs super tanky compos? i'm struggling a bit when the enemy team is full of tanks (galio leona malp for example)
@@CoachMysterias yeeee, that's the problem to use just one champ!! Im gold4, which champ could complement syndra in my champ pool to deal with this tank comps?? nothing overcomplicated like akali or yasuo 🙏
@@CoachMysterias yeah i know that, but some days it feels like riot only punishes me coz mostly i dont play against such guys, they appear only in my team xD. At least it feels like it some days.Happy to see your guides, especially about syndra now, i am ranking up with her quite good. From I4 to B2, in the past weeks :D i know its not alot but only playing a few games per week. Got a question for the first game, why building shadow flame instead of stormsurge? i mainly go ludens into stormsurge, 3rd raba... 4th hourglass. barely build the shadowflame tbh.
Ngl,this is so bad lol,1st game,why would u ever go ludens shadowflame into that team? you deal 0 dmg,you have 0 ability haste,your e is 13 sec cd u do negative dmg ur jsut useless?

Hey Mysterias. Thank you for you content. Your old Syndra guite is very detailed. It would be super awesome if you would do such guide on Orianna too.
Ori isnt a champ thats on my list right now. We do have an ori guide like the syndra one in our coaching prgram though!

Hey Coach, what's your opinion on the Nemesis build with Blackfire Torch and Cosmic?
I have been trying it a bit this week! it actually feels good to me atm!
This video feels like it was made for me lol
How do I play against assasins like fizz and Irelia? I feel like I just get rolled by those players in lane.
Good one! I have got a matchup guide on both of these champions on previous videos on my channel feel free to check them out they are up to date!
Hi, 2 questions:
1. How hard would you consider these 2 games on a scale from 1(free win) to 10(Always lose)?
2. When do you go which 2nd items?
Game 1 was tricky due to the draft difference so id say game 1 was about an 7/8
game 2 was tough due to the janna so i reckon a 10
game 3 was quite a lot easiert due to a solid draft and winning sides so thatd be a 2/3
