Is Syndra good these days? I like her a lot and I'm considering crafting her with blue essence, but I don't wanna do that if it turns out she's out of the meta.

She's seeing a fair amount of pro play and is certainly popular

She's fine but has a low win rate in solo queue because she was dominating in pro play; basically you need to be pretty good with her to be at all successful

the appeal of syndra in solo queue is if you are competent enough to go even with your laner you probably win your lane by pressing r on cooldown

Speaking of Skarner, remember Skarner? Man, I wish his kit was good.

It's a shame, his kit used to be fine but he suffered from trundle syndrome in that he was really boring to play and didn't do anything flashy. So they made his kit.... Better, I guess? But he's still seems super boring to play.

False enemy or true friend?
He was totally fine and fun as hell pre Domion passive but it wasn't unique enough so they shoehorned in a lovely minigame that started a tredn of stupid minigame passives for several champions. The only reason the Dominion passive was really good was way inflated numbers.

because it loving sucks. nobody needs more AP damage in an already damage-saturated teamcomp.

Support veigar is fun and good. A 2.5 second AoE stun/knockdown is good on any teamcomp and also

Gunblade feels really good on Ezreal. The active is like 50 seconds shorter compared to blade, and does almost 3 times as much damage. The AP isn't wasted on his generous ratios too and getting 5% lifesteal on R and 15% on E is a lot of extra health in a fight. I think over time against tanks you definitely lose just a tad damage from not having bork stats, but for bursting a squishy character I think it adds a lot of extra damage. Duskblade feels like this too, but I kind of value the on demand perk of gunblade's active. I really haven't liked Bork since they shaved that extra active damage from it. The burst aspect is what i really valued.

Kanye feels really good to me it's super fun being able to walk thru walls. Is red Kanye or blue Kanye better? I've just played one game so far and I chose red Kanye since he was the first one to be available, nearly dying and jumping into a tahm kench only to jump out and kill him while being healed to full is hilarious. Ditto on dodging a zed ult by entering him. Very sexxie

I've never seen anyone go blue so I'm going to assume red is just better outside of niche circumstances.

I saw a guy be blue once and it seemed to work pretty well? Looks like it might be better if the enemy team is all squishies.

the blue one actually does do significantly more damage, and it's great if a particular target on the enemy team really just needs to die

I'm not making a fucking QCS thread for this but seriously can we take a harder stance on Kiwifarms freaks like this guy, Jesus Christ seriously, you used to be better at knocking these creeps down. I guess ADTRW mods aren't responsible like GBS mods are.
Blue is just a different form of Kha'Zix so the only reason to go blue is if your team is snowballing really hard and you think you can end before or around 30 minutes

There's plenty of not-napkin math out there to show that this is actually not the case. Blue does more, but it's not "significantly" anything.

The thing Shadow Assassin has over Rhaast is a drastic difference in mobility, and a substantially shorter burst window (which is easier to achieve thanks to the aforementioned mobility). They absolutely do comparable damage and if you require more than napkin math I'll happily oblige.

Taking a break from complicated math for easy math is always nice.
