people focus a lot on poke champions in proving grounds aram, but with a ton of ambient gold you can do well on bruisers or assassins, too. Depends on teamcomp, but i had some nightmare games against Udyr etc


poke and heal was much more important on old SR aram imo.

Her stun knocks people back? Only if they're in melee range, and I cannot think of any situations where you wouldn't want it to knock them back in that case.

Lux bind has 1 second shorter cooldown at max rank, is that even worth mentioning -_-


The rest of your post is basically "Lux is a different champion and has different things" which is my point exactly wtf?


I hope you understand the difference between Lux binding a Veigar in 1v1 and Syndra stunning a Veigar 1v1.

Lux is a different champion and has different things.

That said, when you want some decent long range poke with a strong burst fullcombo, Lux does outshine Syndra overall. Why do you think Link has been picking Lux constantly over Syndra?

Syndra does have advantages over lux (low cooldown bread&butter nuke being the most obvious one) but it's just not in a department pros value right now?

I've had success with Udyr in aram too, which I didn't expect. I can't remember my build anymore. Involved a shurelyas, but other than that, no idea.

I don't like poke champions either and Nidalee is overrated in aram anyway, as long as the other team has something to engage with. My favorites are probably Kat and Akali, there is always a fight to clean up.

40% cdr+tank/ Ashe is hilarious too, always slowing everything and shooting ults every minute, while being quite tanky and baiting people to dive you all the time.

My favorites in ARAM are ad carries, or anything that can be played like an AD carry. 550+ Ranged Autoattacks OP.

They didn't say why he wasn't available for this week's LCS, so I'm guessing it's a personal matter.

Aagh haven't laughed so hard in forever while playing LoL, Zed with Black Cleaver, Ravenous Hydra, BotRK and Giants Belt, get 5v1'd and get a triple kill with 1 at 10% hp, stayed at like 20% for forever, just lifestealing with Hydra haha

Also one situation where I escaped after a tower dive at like 300 hp and have their jungler chasing after me, I find a huge enemy creepwave and SLLLUUUURRRPPP it, healing to 1800 hp and then kill the jungler xD This build is so legit.


Ravenous Hydra also turns jungler ganks on like toplane where you have a large wave pushing towards your tower into something completely hilarious.

Why in hell whould you compare Lux and Syndra? ôo Syndra's closer to Orianna in playstyle and range.

Though TBH since ARAM is pretty casual anyway, they probably could have done reduced starting gold for repicks anyway.

I still think ARAM needs to use the whole champion pool by default rather than only rolling champs you have. ARAM smurfs are too imba the way it is now.

Considering how disjoint the tech seems to be for the lobby client and the actual in-game client I'm not sure if they would currently be able to reduce starting gold based on what happened in the lobby. Not that it can't be done, juste that it's not atm.

It really shouldn't be that difficult to implement, you only need to send one boolean variable after all


How well can Syndra make game-winning / epic plays that are highlight reel material?

If anyone can find that Bjergsen Pentakill on Syndra from early LCS weeks, that'd be perfect here.

That was easier than I thought, though maybe not the best example:

Syndra has a knock-back. That's enough to say "NOPE" to any Lee/Jarvan/Vi/Amumu that tries to initiate a gank using their gap closer. :3
(Granted they shouldn't, but it was fun as hell to stop a camping Amumu 3 times in a row this way. Then it became tiresome because camping is camping.)

it's really easy, just hit a multi-person stun.

or save your teammates from being hit by flying lee sins.



the converse is that if you miss your stun, it will definitely be a lowlight.

i think her skillcap is overrated if even someone like me can play her well.

I don't mean hitting a multi-person stun, I mean actual incredible plays o_O Like with Zed slowing the enemy with clone, then having them dash to you, swapping places with the clone and then slowing the enemy again and getting away like that...(actually that's not all that incredible but you can add some stuff in) I think most of it would have to do with some intelligent stuns, though.

I guess there's enough potential, maybe I should now permanently buy her <.<


Also, my first Pentakill on Zed! ^-^ By the way, as Ravenous Hydra makes your autos apply a stack of BC to everyone around you, Zed actually becomes an AoE monster instead of just single target burst. This build really feels so good, even though it's against noobies... The passive Hydra heal along with Warmogs also enables you to heal as if it was the old Warmogs assuming 3k hp.

And yes I feel like advocating Ravenous Hydra on everything that likes Black Cleaver and has some AoE.

In case anyone was wondering: Annie still completely ridiculous. Really good against assassins and stuff mid.

Only a few people caught it on my stream last night, but I played her as my last game. I was 2/1 at this point I think. Got 2 man ganked, 1v3 vs Kat, Malphite, and Nasus. Killed 2 and walked away as my team came to clean up the 3rd.

Really glad she's not popular, I wanna take ALL the credit for her.
