Update on Syndra's PBE Availability.

Posted on at 3:14 AM by Moobeat
If you've been eagerly awaiting our next champion and have been bummed about Riot being so hush hush about her release, I've got good news! RiotDaemon, a QA Lead at Riot, gave us a little update on Syndra and when we can expect to see her appearance on the PBE:
"...I *think* the plan is to activate Syndra on the PBE next Tuesday or Wednesday once a few more bugfixes are pushed in. We try and fix most issues before they go to the PBE to give you guys a more accurate representation of how a patch will look on live."
You better believe S@20 will keep you posted when she finally becomes available for testing!

  1. But usualy when a champion is released, after two weeks the next one gets released, next Tuesday or Wednesday is exactly 2 weeks after Rengar... Does that mean there's a new policy about champion availability on PBE and champion release? Or are they planning to push her right away into live, instead of PBE as surprise?

    1. Usually yes, but it's not really their policy, there have been quite a few instances where there was more than two weeks between champions. It wouldn't surprise me if she comes the week after next.

  2. No idea. There isn't any rush, we are just used to the two week new champion schedule. I imagine she'll be on the PBE for a little while then pushed to live. PAX / Gamescom sort of slowed things down

  3. I hope that this will be the case and something doesn't delay her PBE release further, Gravity/Telekinesis has always been a form of magic i'm very fond of so I can't wait to try her

  4. Yeah, I prefer a stable champion than a broken buggy one. I'm just surprised that they haven't released her on PBE yet.

    1. They mention bugs yet she plays fine at the LoL venues they've used her at. I think they just wanted an exclusive unreleased champ to make their panels more enticing.

  5. I think they made a mistake with this one, I mean they put Rengar on PBE and they also promised a new champion for the Gamescom so I think they kinda rushed Syndra and she wasn't that well made when they went with her at event and now they are taking their time to do it properly.

    I wish Rengar was instead of Syndra, I don't find Rengar interesting, but I can't wait to get my hands on that Syndra, she looks amazing, skill set is amazing... the only thing that I'm not happy about is that splash-art, but if you watch the champion retrospective you can see that they are working on the Justicar splash which looks freaking amazing and a lot better than the classic one.

    1. Classic one really looks bad... Just like Shyvanna's classic.

      Compare to recent ones like Diana, Renger, Jayce.... Come on.

  7. She looks ok, but too similar to Diana and Zyra. I hope she's at least fun to play.

    1. You will probably wait for more, she will probably come out with the next patch since she hasn't even been tested on PBE.

  12. She will be on PBE after Sunday so i expect her to go live after 10th September.

  13. I'd expect her to be a 3 or even 4 weeks wait, instead of 2. Riot is busy with PAX, you know...? ^__^

  15. Probably more like "We needed something to show at pax that can't be seen anywhere else, so we'll wait on releasing her into pbe until after pax with the pretense of being bugged."
