Anyone miss synthesis league?

I don't know why everyone hated synthesis. I did join that league 2 months late so maybe some fuckery was going on before then.

Loved the idea of synthesis, hated almost all the execution. Crafting being incredibly RNG dependent and 99% inaccessible aside from the RMT/tradebotters for the top rolls sucked (they also bought up all the niche bases with their illegitimate funds which sucked). I did like the fractured mods giving more accessible crafting, though they were broken for weeks on release to not work with essences and fossils. I loved running the zones in maps, but didn't much like how disconnected from the core gameplay loop running your memory map was. Overall though, definitely not the worst league we've had, it was just the worst implemented, beating even bestiary launch.

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

You mean clear the entire game with quantity gear/tabula/3k life thanks to its immediate, self aiming screen clearing? I played worb in synthesis and it absolutely trivialized everything with no more investment than a 6link and a weapon.

no

I've always missed Synthesis league. Not the Synthesizer mind, but the rest of the league mechanic was great. Especially after the changes to make the memory map more accessible. And to this day I still think they should've at least made Fractured items occasionally drop in normal content. Even without the Synthesizer, they were one of the biggest additions to the game to encourage more casual players to try their hands at crafting. Hopefully one day...

Yes, of the leagues I've participated in Synthesis was my favourite. There were tonnes of flaws, but ironing them out would make it possibly the best addition to the game IMHO.

The only good thing that came out of synthesis was the soundtrack in the memory nexus

I enjoy complex league mechanics so synthesis was probably my favorite league. Honestly would have loved to see them change up the league a bit and re introduce Cavas as a master mission instead of Einhar. Einhar could easily just appear in the wild.

The Synthesiser could just go, we didn't really need that. Fractured Items are okay though, it's nice to lock in decent mods on items for crafting.

Sadly this will never happen. What's kind of even worse though is that they seem to be sticking more to simple league mechanics now instead of trying more interesting concepts.

Its just that it was so much better than this league.

I actually liked initial synth, where you could chain 25+ effects on a synth zone.

They made it worse with the changes.

Not especially, but most of what made synthesis bad is also in Delirium.
