How hard is Syndra?

I haven't seen anyone play her before, but I'm thinking of getting her. How hard is she to use? Could anyone tell me the cooldown time for her abilities? What are some champions that she has a big advantage over and a disadvantage against?

her balls are hard, especially the third one she swings at you.

She is kinda hard, Landing her Q is easy but the q then using your e to push the q and get a stun is kinda difficult against a highly mobile champion.

Nowhere near as hard as she used to be. Unfortunately you no longer get rewarded for it either. I'd recommend you play her on a free week before taking the plunge. She's fun but she's not what she used to be.

Syndras whole kit is more complicated than most of the mid laners. If someone says syndra is easy to master they are lying to you. She pays off really well but her ult is also extremely easy and its kind of bullshit also

Tl:dr shes hard but pays off

Yeah, but I find that hard classes are more fun to play. Not fun if you're just standing behind all your allies and spamming a bunch of skillshots :P

Yeah this is true. I love syndra, but you will definitly find yourself getting a bit frustrated especially when there is a zac on the enemy team

Easy, trust me. Your kit is just so spammable you can use it to harass and EASILY farm. WQER and in 1.5 seconds, they're dead. So mobile too, you can cast spells while staying moving.

Casting spells while moving is great to chase people down and stunning/throwing to escape ganks, thanks for this detail!

Syndra forces you to take a wider look at the battlefield.

You can't just focus on champ you want to target/champs in the team fight. You need to be aware of where your previous balls have been placed, and for optimal ulting, how long they have been their for.

It's tough to do well with that.

What's easy, is throwing balls at people in lane. She is a massive lane bully. Just watch your mana.

Best trick to learn with her is the instant 2 ball stun. Not instant for you, it requires a little set up- but if timed well, it's instant for the enemy.

Say you're a midlaner, and you're ganking bot lane. Half way down the river, throw a ball out in front of you. Walk past it and as it's nearly out of range of your W, pick it up.

Now, walk into lane, throw your W in the direction you want to E, and simultaneously put a Q next to it. Then E.

Makes for a pretty undodgable stun and great for ganking. Follow it up with you Ult and someone's getting sent back to the fountain.

A lot of Syndra plays like that. You need to be ahead of the game to set up your plays. Which can be tough.
