Syndra's Nerf in Upcoming Patch (6.23)

Sir Rouge·Oct 27, 2016·3 votes·2,147 views

If Syndra really needs a nerf (which seems to be likely to happen in patch 6.23 on PBE), I would propose the following:

Q : Mana cost changed to 55/65/75/85/95 (up from 40/50/60/70/80) Q : New effect : Refunds 25 mana to Syndra on champion hit *Numbers subject to change

This would nerf Syndra's waveclear (thus nerfing her roam potential) while lowering the room for error in her ball setup pre-ultimate (thus ''nerfing'' her ultimate by upping the cost of preparing it) while rewarding good Syndra players that hit more than 60% of their Qs (and punishing for missing too many Qs/rewarding players who dodge her Qs)).

If not that, then something similar that has a compensatory buff to remove some frustrating gameplay while not making her overnerfed for another year again.

She needs a nerf to her E projectile speed. Maybe stabilize the speed between E's shockwave and the projectile so its actually possible to dodge when Syndra players use W to set up what are currently guaranteed stuns.

Her waveclear and such isn't the issue. Its that its near-impossible to approach her, or even be in range of her stun, due to how it currently functions.

Her E is easy to stun if you know how to mechanically move your champion.

The only way that you will get hit 10% of the time is if she is standing on top of you, in which you should be trying to blow her up.

Why are you guys complaining the core concept of a champion lol. Dont you guys even remember riot nerfed her Q damage and mana consumption.

All of the syndra posts are like, Make her using skills and her ult unrewarding, oneshot gg.

She needs a completely new ult. Her current one is 100% of her problem and was the same last time she was broken.

I agree, a point and click ult with a long range that can one shot from full health if you have enough spheres placed is ridiculous, once syndra hits the impossible to dodge E on a squishy that squishy is dead due to her ult being so brainless.

How about reverting MYMU changes to Syndra, hm?

Sir RougeOct 27, 20161 votes

Do you really think they would revert her MYMU?... that's why we're trying to find something else.

Besides, even in a world where they do simply revert it, she'll be a dead champion with the assassins update + that revert, and i'm not looking to make her overnerfed for a while again.

She wasn't dead before MYMU nor she would be without it now. You actually had to master her kit instead of relying on cancerous gimmicks.

And assassin update doesn't look that bad for her. For example Talon loses his instant blink and Akali loses her cancer drain-tank passive.

I was never for her MYMU, and I would love to have it reverted, but not now.

It's not that the new assassins are neccessarily better against her, but so many people will play them, and they'll still be bad matchups for her. Right now, she's so strong because nobody plays the champs that give her a bad matchup.
