Riot, please. The solution to Syndra is not MORE burst.

To those of you who don't know, Syndra's passive bonus to W has been changed on beta.

Instead of throwing extra units, she does 20% bonus true damage with the spell. To compensate, she got her numbers toned down slightly.

The thing is, it's still a buff; a buff to a champion who is already too strong.

She lost 10% AP scaling and 10 base damage but gained (at max rank) 14% AP scaling and 46 base damage, both of which are dealt as true damage.

YOu realize the change that is on there makes it so much harder to have as many orbs out right? It's no longer nearly as easy to have so many orbs out to ult you with. So you gain 20% true damage, but you lose like 2-3 orbs worth of damage on your ult.

IIRC you had to be a god at managing orbs to get a 6 orb ult. Now it's almost kinda free to get 6 and if you manage right you can get 8. I could be wrong..

What the hell are you talking about?

There were no changes made to how many orbs she can spawn, they just made it so that your W no longer moves 3 of them.

By moving them you reset their despawn timer

Don't talk about you know nothing plz... When Syndra take three spheres, spheres remain 6 seconds more, enough to make 1 or 2 others spheres. Now it's really harder in deleting this part of the passive.

Syndra W 240 + .8(500) = 640 Pbe W 230 + .7(500) = 350 + 230 = 580 I mean these calculations are based on a random number like 500 AP. So just that alone she lost 60 damage. Now take 580 X .20 = 116 true damage. 696 damage. Not including resistances or magic pen.

Before level 13 her W hits less. Then post 13, it spikes past its current state(why?). Yeah it was a buff to her late game. But at least her early game is toned down a bit and the cooldown on her ult makes it so there is again, more breathing room vs her I suppose during the laning phase?

They keep trying to give her true damage... When it isnt at all necessary... There was this idea of giving her 10% true damage to her Q awhile back. But that was dismissed, because just syndra. I don't understand why if she can't have it in Q being 10%, that putting it on W for 20% would be better? I think the 10% true damage idea on Q was a better notion than her W. But that's my take on it.
