Syndra

People keep complaining about her because **professional **league of legends players are playing her while champions with high damage and massive amounts of utility like are walking around and a forgiving kit is still dominating top, mid, and jungle in a lot of games.

Anyway, she's a no skill champion... just no, she's a high skillcap champion. Let me actually tell you what Syndra is like as a mastery 7 Syndra main.

"Just press R to kill" While you think you can just press R to get a kill, it's not going to do that much damage. You see, it does damage per sphere, and the spheres going around her are the first 3. She can place the others with Q and W and blah blah blah. The max is 7 spheres, and of course it's going to do more damage than only 3 spheres in an ult. It's basically an execute move that you use at the end of your combo, since you'll have more spheres placed then. Such as Q + E + W + Q + R, now that's 5 spheres and will probably kill any squishy target with that FULL combo.

The long range stun. She has to Q first, and THEN E. Even if she's close to it and then E or far away and then uses her E, the sphere will still go the same distance. It's easy to sidestep, such as Zed's W+Q harass combo. Without her stun, don't be afraid to jump on her. She's squishy even if she's building Rylai's and Rod of Ages, I've been 100-0ed because I've missed my stun but still landed a Q + W + Q + R on most assassins and the assassin would have lived. Play aggressive when her stun is down if you want to get damage off on her. She's also immobile, like most mages, and is a big weakness for her. Throughout the game, don't make the mistake of stepping in front of a sphere because then she can just E you if she's in range and stun you.

"She has NO counterplay! Similar to Veigar, unless she's extremely ahead she isn't going to kill you without her stun. If she misses, then she's as good as dead. If you ARE stunned, she can't get off her whole combo, not even just her ult while you're stunned so getting off a Zhonya's right after you aren't stunned anymore will negate almost all of her damage. Avoid fighting her when you are less than 90% health, she's good at killing a single target, basically like a ranged assassin.

No, she isn't OP and she DOES have counterplay. Ugh these boards, making her look like the new but she's immobile, squishy, and relies on her cc to hit her skillshots. She was just extremely underplayed and trash a while ago, but oh look someone brings her out in worlds and she's OP again! wtf? Agree with me or not, this is all true.
