Anyone miss synthesis league?

It's been a long time now; the dust has settled.

I'm curious if I'm alone in this regard? I absolutely loved synthesis.
The nexus gave me an extra place to hang out between delving and maps.
It also looked really cool.

On top of this, synthesis made it easy to craft good items without spending ridiculous amounts of currency. People always complained about the stupid odds when it came to synthesising items, but you didn't have to!

I loved the fact that I could buy some boots with a fractured 25% movement speed mod on them and then I happily knew, no matter what I do to said boots now, I can't mess up the movement speed on them. So it was relatively easy to chaos spam some boots till they were exactly the way you wanted them.

Anyways, I'm noticing I'm starting to rant, but I felt like that league was pretty special and I'm sad GGG just got rid of the entire thing (although I do understand why they did).

I hope they consider bringing it back one day.

No. But this doesn't make this league good. Is the same shit.

SYN was bad but at least we knew at the end of all the stupid, was a real pot of gold. A real POG.

In some alternate reality, the synthesizer came to become part of core game and instead of farming or buying HH, everyone's dream is to craft their own set of onslaught Rin boots (with or without tailwind, it's not clear whether the best-case alternate reality would have conquerors in it or just better shaper/elder mods).

And in yet another alternate reality, memory nexus shuffle got fixed so you could strategize a better outcome. Kind of the way we were supposed to be able to have a good deal more control over our Alva temples, but actually give us that more control instead of just tacking 1 more incursion onto the end of things.

Conceptually, I actually really liked Synthesis. The execution was really bad, though. The decay mechanic killed it, I don't see any reason why it had to exist, it was broken and frequently would just fuck you over by no fault of your own.

If they were to rework it and nix the decay mechanic, replace it with something that doesn't involve another fucking timer or RNG "fuck you" zones, it would be a welcome addition.

On that note, I also really liked the idea behind Talisman. The problem I had was that the monster mods were overtuned and frequently offscreen-instagibbed me. Still, conceptually speaking, I liked collecting items to combine into better items. I really wish they would give us a means of combining Talismans again, since we've been getting a pretty good amount of them.

Not even a little bit.

i do miss synthesis. or i should said i missed it, cause i didn't play it, cause it sucked

I didn't mind synthesis that much

i enjoyed synthesis as well, strangely it seemed more enjoyable the longer i played it.

I miss Winter Orb from Synthesis league, not the league itself.
