Please don't pass Syndra over in the mage update!!!

I was reading down the list of Red posts and i saw one talking how their focus in the Mages Update moved away from her. Please don't!!!

When I heard that Syndra was finally going to get something to substitute for her nerfed early game bullying, I was excited! There are a lot of ideas and lots of potential to go with Syndra, who literally gets better over time... except she doesn't. The only buffs to her since her early game nerfs have been to mana, than the mana pot compensations.

You nerfed her early game bullying without giving her anything else in return. If i wanted to play a single target burst mage, who has some Cc, I'd play Annie who has better ratios and reliable damage, Zyra for better Aoe damage and Cc, Lux for longer range and safety, or Orianna who brings in more Zoning and Aoe Damage.

The point is, Syndra really only has damage and some cc, and isn't a lane bully to make up for a lackluster late game. She's immobile and has a large point of vulnerability if she misses her E. She is a perfect candidate for the Immobile update!!! Please reconsider!

Syndra is in a very good spot right now with a decently fresh and unique kit so riot has no real reason to touch her or even think about changes at all.

Sadly, with zero cast times, Syndra is not considered immobile :S but maybe they could do something to increase her MS somehow.

The fact that Syndra doesn't need to stop walking quite as often as other mages doesn't mean she's a mobile champion.

I have a feeling that's when we'll finally get her passive changes they were talking about a few months ago.

That was supposedly the plan, but a red post by meddler found here talking how other fhamps might need that focus more.
