Syndra [Power Shift Balancing Suggestion]

Stacona··1 votes·387 views

Something I have noticed is that Syndra's current power levels are strong early, mid and late game- so unless she faces a hyper mage like Karthus, Vladimir, Ryze, Anivia, Orianna, etc Syndra has no weaknesses. Since Syndra feels like she should be more of a late game mage, especially with how her passive works, I will do a power shift of less early game strength and more late game strength.

So here it is: Dark Sphere (Q): Cooldown adjusted to 7/6/5/4/3 from 4 seconds

So with this suggestion Syndra's power levels of levels 1-8 are either straight nerfs or damage equals, and then post levels 9+ is a pretty majour late game buff having a pretty good high damage nuke every 3 seconds (down to 1.8 with cap CDR, from 2.4 seconds currently at rank 5). Overall, this should balance Syndra better to be weaker early and stronger later so that Syndra is more about mid-late game instead of being strong early-mid-late game

it would balance her out though because then she only be strong mid-late game instead of early-mid-late... I don't want Syndra to just get nerfed to the ground and never played again- i like seeing her getting played, just needs some balance tweaks

unless you think it should just be 7/6.25/5.5/4.75/4 seconds and just be a straight up nerf?

I think her problems are her E base damage(250 when it should be supposed to be an utility spell?), her E reliability ( it has almost no counterplay, the Q+E combo is too fast and has a HUGE range) and the R base damage, which is really high as well (540 to 1260 at lv 18, 270 to 630 at lv 9 WTF).

EDIT: Don't forget her E mana cost which is 50 mana at all levels when it's a really strong spell.
