What if Syndra's W could pick up allies/enemies?

But this could only work if it was a Transcendence bonus (she would have to max her W).

Tahm Kench's ability to swallow allies and enemies is really interesting and unique. Syndra's ability to pick up minions and monsters and throw them is really interesting and unique too. Since Syndra is considered a Support, it would be great if Syndra could also reposition her allies and enemies.

Another idea I had was to allow Syndra to use her W on enemies, but pull them slightly towards her instead of picking them up. The same rules would apply, she would only be able to do this after maxing her W for the Transcendence bonus.

Thoughts?

I think if the champions were on top of one of Syndra's balls, I think it could work, so that it has conditions attached to it.

Tahm Kench can pick up allies and enemies with his mouth. Why can't Syndra do it with her magic? Makes sense to me.

would make syndra galio a viable wombo combo as the more defensive version of malphite ori

No.

Unlike Tahm Kench and Thresh, Syndra's W is point and click and does not require any special interaction. This would be extremely broken if it was simply added to her kit, specially because she can use other spells while using her W.

For it to work her kit would have to get more than just a slight change.

Well obviously it would need to be tweaked significantly. Her W has a 925 cast range, that's ridiculous. They'd have to have a reduced cast and throw radius if cast on champions.

Also, someone bought up a point of picking someone up if they stepped over a Dark Sphere, which would be pretty cool interactivity.

Time to troll? Also, there doesn't really seem to be a point to it. It would have to have a different kind of utility.

Which was why I added the part of pulling enemies towards her instead also. Right now, there's absolutely no reason to max her W before her E. The current Transcendence bonus is the slow duration is increased by 0.5 seconds. Wow. Amazing. They need to add something to her W to make it worthwhile at least.

Uhhhhh, in theory it's kinda cool, but in reality that wouldn't work.

It would have to shrink her w range. It's a little bit less than her q I believe. She shouldn't be able to pick up enemies because that's just op (throw into base, or into turret) that being said, ohmwrecker would actually matter now
