Why synthesis is so BAD

Agree


But I would add that I had one case of rewarding stuff in the Nexus : a memory modifier that allowed memories to drop a shitton of shaper items.
Is it rare ? Might be, I have no clue, but it was rewarding for me in that specific case.

Else .... yeah, not much incentive to play the Nexus thingy, I have no clue where all this crap is going, there is no line to follow, I see no progress ... ( haven't spawned elder influence yet, I expect something to change when it happens ? not sure ... )

I think that is a very good and crucial point to make.
We have no sense of progression in this league. Before this we had betrayal which had literal numbers to tell us where we are at the board of progression. Now its completely dark and blind.

Yeah league is kind of weird. Making long chains is not worth it too if portals decide to work sometimes only.

Also jumped into a memory in a map just now and Zana + Cavas had a conversation whilst I fought a bunch of mobs for a minute. Cavas got his memory back and Zana is now in the Nexus instead of him.

I spend more time this league worrying about whether my instance is going to crash or whether my portals are going to work in the Nexus than actually enjoying the game.

It baffles me that GGG didn't take a page from Delve league by making sure the nexus itself is always in the same instance as the memory node you're running. No instance loading, no wonky portals.

yeah that would be way practical compared to current nexus mechanic.

I personally don't care about the Synthesis league because of the clunky mechanics already mentioned here. That being said, I'm somewhat of a visual person and it pains me to see all these new designs basically go to waste for me because of that.
GGG gave this league a very distinct and at times beautiful visual style which you'll never fully experience unless you commit to it. For example Rock Mesa memory map is mesmerizing with its steep cliffs dissolving into a blue veil of light.

I'm aware that the timed nature of the mechanics would be incompitable with normal mapping for the most part. But I still wish they had somehow found a way to incorporate it more (or at all really) into core gameplay. Leagues start to feel more like minigames lately with a certain disconnect from the main game. Delve got away with it for being just good old fun, I'm not convinced the same thing will happen with Synthesis.

what level of memory fragments you have used ?

tencent's been hemorrhaging money recently, so things will likely get worse (as if ggg hasn't been trending worse for a good while now, anyway)
