Can we get a syndra rework

Icefoxemily··2 votes·781 views

Really guys syndra just isn't fun to play against. Level 6 and late game rolls around and all she does is press r. Even if you murder her first you still die to it. There really is no outplay to it besides buying a zonyas or playing a tankier midlane. I'm running mr and max hp scaling runes too. Its pretty dumb when you get dealt 60% from her just pressing r after q and thats about it.

I don't like Syndra's R but Annie's passive is annoying too because combined with her q it's an automatic stun bear w and you're dead.

Trust me I fully agree on that too but since the new skins I'm seeing way more syndra right now and Annie isn't ever going to be changed I don't think. Hell when they did the mage update and she was already really good. They just made her even better.

Bet Syndra mains are downvoting, but seriously, there is no outplay, people say Veigar ult doesn't have any, but it does, it stops if you kill him when it's in mid flight, most ults are stopped upon the caster dying, Syndra's doesn't stop even after death, I've gotten a penta because i just ult and when they die after me, it says "Pentakill", cause you know.....skills.

It stops if you kill him mid cast

Fix'd. I've had too many times people saying that veigar was unfair becaause they didn't kill him quick enough to not let him cast his ultimate and do the trade-off,and i don't see any tank veigar in a lot of time.

His ult is probably one of the easiest ults to counter when it comes to mid lane.

Did you literally stated Veigar's point & click nuke is the "easiest" to counter....?

Yes, because his ult requires you to be low HP, it's countered HARD by maw of malmortius, Yas wind wall, Zed ult, Xayah ult, Fizz E, Darkin Kayn and Kayn ult, Kayle ult, etc.

If I continued listing, it would be huge, you just need to watch your HP, also building RoA + Abyssal mask will make him struggle to kill you or even get you low enough for ult to kill,

So typically, aside the HP requirements, almost the same as Syndra, but somehow she's a different story? [zombie-brand-mindblown]

You kill Veigar, ult is cancelled even if it's flying at you, Syndra's goes through even if she dies plus her ult LITERALLY 100-0's you vs Veigar whose ult can really only 50-0 you

Well heres something pretty important also. Veigs ult doesnt proc thunderlords instantly. Her ult hits you so many times she gets even more bonus damage form thunderlords popping from it. Dealing an aditional 5% usually. Veig ult i just 1 hit. It wont solo proc thunderlords.

They should work on her ult, then she's fine. Point&click ults are generally waaaaay too strong for how easy they are too use (e.g. Syndra, Veigar, Garen)

Veigar's can be countered easily, refer to my reply above yours for champ based counters, it's cancelled by maw, Zhonya's, hell even killing him stops it

I think one of the problems with Syndra is that she should be a harder champion to play and was pretty difficult on release but now she just feels like R = Win.

They should rework her ultimate in some way that allows for better skill expression. Right now the only skillful thing you can do with the ultimate is use E afterwards. Like her ultimate is pretty much a copy of Veigar's ultimate, only difference is that you gotta cast Q a few times before using it.

Also it's pretty lame thematically. Her Q is more intense in my opinion. Summoning a energy thingy out of no where causing an explosion vs hurling those things at a target. Maybe they could try exploring the telekinesis vibes Syndra kinda gives off more. A lot of champions need changes, I wish Riot would just stop making new stuff and put all their resources on fixing the older stuff.

Take some advice from a diamond midlaner..have you never heard of exhaust?

Everything has counterplay. If it didn't, don't to u think a pro player or a streamer would of brought this up? This game is more balanced then people think believe it or not.

Similar to LCS-sheep, they're just waiting for pro-players to play it in competitive matches before they can confirm it being "meta".

Eg. MF Support.
