Dear Riot: Are you aware of Syndra's current problem?

Hello!

I want to discuss the current state of Syndra after the EQ nerf, because her winrate dropped significantly (almost 10 % down to 40 at all ranked levels). Now ofc the nerf to her early level Q hit her hard - but its manageable. The real Problem seems to be that her stun is currently very much bugged. Sometimes it doesnt stun or doesnt even deal Dmg, even tho the ball went right to the enemy or if you casted the ball directly onto the enemy model. I realise the stun is much harder to hit and thats what its suppose to be - but if a core mechanic of a champ is broken and you have a random chance to not get rewarded for landing are more or less difficult skillshot (pretty difficult now) then i dont see Syndra beeing a viable champ in either Pro, nor SoloQ games.

I hope Riot is aware of this bug - and id be thankful if fellow summoners would spread awareness about it, for Syndra is my favorite Champ and imo already got hit hard with all the Mananerfs.

Thanks and have a nice day!

Edit: If someone is interested in discussion outside of the boards- here is a reddit post discussing said issue. http://www.reddit.com/r/leagueoflegends/comments/2spzrz/i_think_those_nerfs_might_have_obliterated_syndra/

Edit2: just noticed there is a seperated "Report a Bug" section - If problematic please move my post accordingly. Even tho it kind of ruins her current balance ingame ;>

Honestly this kind of shit really fucking pisses me off because now shes not even playable.

If you fucking made changes to a champion and it bugged them DONT FUCKING SHIP THE CHANGES MAKING THE CHAMPION UNPLAYABLE. FIX THE FUCKING BUG THEN SHIP THE CHANGES.

I dont care the champion has to much hard cc as it is. Get hit by a stun out side your aa range? dont worry there is a chance it wont work right and you wont get killed by that bs. Sounds perfectly balanced. Syndra shouldnt be able to cc lock whole teams solo for so long any way

No, her stun is fine. It just actually requires aiming to hit.

Well this bug has been there for very long,and isn't syndra specific(just is more common on syndra),so it is pretty much "gameplay" at this point.

Oh and it definitely was very common even before this change,It's just even more common now.

As a Syndra main, I didn't notice this happening at first so I did another game to pay close attention and test it. And yes, this is definitely happening. Its not every time, but fairly often, the sphere hit with E will literally hit the enemy, do damage, but not stun. Please fix this riot as there's no way its anything but a bug.
