While the changes to Syndra's passive seems exciting, I'm concerned for her overall damage output

Syndra's always excelled at single target bursting, thanks to her passive and producing multiple spheres. These changes compliment that even more, but now she loses 15% bonus damage to enemy champions on her Q, an aoe spell. It almosty feels like Riot is emphasizing her already amazing single target damage, and taking away from her aoe damage, which concerns me.

Her Dark Sphere already still remains in a meh state, where its damage is mediocre until ranks 4 and 5. But now she's losing more damagee on Dark Sphere at rank 5, since maxing it out no longer enhances its damage to multiple enemy champions. Now it's just there to compliment her ult, which can only target a single target to begin with.

I haven't tried her out yet, maybe I'm getting too concerned here, but her losing some aoe damage to emphasize an already powerful ult worries me. Unless her Force of Will grabbing multiple spheres now, means multiple procs of damage from it??? Thoughts?

Keep in mind that more spheres being thrown around also helps with her stun. Repositioning up to 3 spheres at once to set up a huge stun is mighty effective.

Fraid I can't confirm how well she does with the changes, because the only game I did with her had spikes of over 1k ping for the entire game.

I thought it was just me when I was playing a custom game, and kept spiking to 500 ping every couple of seconds, particularly in combat.
