Synarell is too op

[low delta]

Guys you need to do something about Synarell. How did he even go past the testing phase? He is the only hero in game that can keep the enemy team under ATTACK PENALTY II (reduce damage output by 50%) for 10 sec on both BATTLE and ULTIMATE skills. Usually heroes that have ATTACK PENALTY II on their BATTLE skill, the duration of the said debuff is 5 seconds long. On top of that he has a 75% success rate of inflicting said debuff and the more ridiculous of all, unlike other heroes his debuff infliction requires no ACCURACY.

Not to mention his big damage and healing.

Possible solution is to reduce the duration of ATTACK PENALTY II that he is inflicting from 10sec to 5sec. Can also reducing his success rate of applying the said debuff to 50% and make it dependable on ACCURACY.

@low delta do you have Synarell?

[iron pine]

@low delta Dear Traveler, thank you for your patience, we would like to let you know that we have recorded your feedback as a suggestion and passed it to our Dev team for evaluation.

Additionally, please note that his passive skill debuff also needs ACCURACY.

Thank you so much for your feedback and cooperation.

I can confirm that he does not in fact, require accuracy. Anyone in game can build him right now and take him into venom 9 and he will never have his debuff resisted. Same thing applies to 400 resistance enemies in pvp. Not sure if it's an oversight, but mine has 40 accuracy and has never had his debuff resisted. He's only missed the chance. (No "Resisted" message has ever popped up, and he maintains close to 100% uptime in vortex.)

I assumed this was part of his kit, as the tooltip says "cannot be resisted," which is why we stack accuracy on any other champion with a debuff, to bypass the "resisted" state and get our debuffs through.

As an aside, he's currently got an incredibly broken interaction going on in game right now. The buff duration reduction in Vortex 4 currently allows his ultimate buff to be low enough duration that it ticks down during the short pause that happens when a boss skill is cast. This normally wouldn't be an issue, but when it hits 0, it causes his heal to proceed as usual. THEN, after this happens, the usual "debuff rollback" to the duration it was before the boss's cast began happens, and it triggers again once THAT duration goes down to 0, doubling his healing. This can easily be reproduced in game, but I have no way of recording it, so I'll have to rely on someone else providing the video reference.

However, you may be able to see evidence of this by looking at my combat log from 4/10/2024 (This past reset.)

While I enjoy the fact that this bug got me top 70 damage for today, I don't think it's intended behavior. https://gyazo.com/f7d438486af3a79984270b39383aa545

Damage amount included in case that helps your internal team track down the fight in question.

If there are changes will there be an announcement to players of the changes to synerell?

[digital garnet]

i feel another free oblivion scroll coming

[cyan raven]

yeah if he gets nerfed I want my full scrolls back lol

But considering there's champions like oggok in game, he really doesn't feel like that much of an outlier.

Maybe a bit high on damage done for the amount of utility he has

Bit of a jack of all trades with no downside.

[digital garnet]

i don't think they'll change him tbh, just fix the healing

[cyan raven]

Yeah and the vortex issue isn't actually something that'll come up when the buff duration isn't reducd. Or at least not nearly as often.

I believe he's the first unit to heal like this when a buff ends so it makes sense that it's an outlier.

[brisk girder]

I do t know why nerfing is a solution, maybe on heroes like rook that just did OP damage where its godlike damage

[scenic goblet]

BUt he (rook) was nerfed PRE RELEASE thats valid, syn is... , just adjust in between seasons... not during...

[brisk girder]

Maybe say that to lydia, dont think she knows that

[scenic goblet]

I dont even get why this is posted as a bug... its not a bug at all how he functions...

[brisk girder]

Because bugs get looked at more than suggestions?

[sturdy mason]

What is your personal motive here? Are you upset that Synarell comps are out damaging your comp in Vortex?

[iron pine]

Thank you for your patience. @brisk girder @cyan raven

Regarding your inquiry about Synarell, our team has verified that the previous issue with Synarell has been fixed. Currently, Synarell's ultimate skill functions as described: the Attack Penalty II reduction effect only depends on the skill's hit chance percentage, not on Synarell's Accuracy or the enemy's Resistance.

I hope this response addresses your concerns. If you have any further questions, please feel free to contact me.

[brisk girder]

Thank you for your hard work Miss Lydia we appreciate everything you do.

So if i may summarize in short is that devs shant be doing any changes to synerell?

[iron pine]

Dear Traveler, thank you for your response, please note that we have fixed the issue of Synarell before, and now the ultimate skill effect is the same as the description of skill.

We refer to the skill effect in real-battle and description of skill.

[brisk girder]

Thank you

[stray juniper]

Like theowin hey?

[brisk girder]

I tried helping with theowin, and in the end because of what i said, they gave the reset scrolls. I can't change devs minds

[stray juniper]

Not having a go at you. Just noting it was mentioned about not nerfing op champions unless they are godlike, but we have nerfed a half decent epic
