Sooo, Syndra nerfs when?

Packun Flower··5 votes·731 views

Now that Assassins are the top ban at the moment Syndra is starting to get through the ban phase and it's really not good. I just had the displeasure of fighting one and she is in dire need of some nerfs. With the ability to zone and wipe out a team with little to no counter play she never did get the nerfs she needed when she was the top ban, and I believe when Assassins are toned down next patch she will go back to being a top ban.

So when is riot going to address her balance issues?

Soon hopefully, a 100-0 point-and-delete ult is so toxic.

It actually doesn't do very much damage unless she is ahead/has spheres lying around.

Her Q starts at a 4 sec CD, they stay for around 6 seconds before max rank I think. So that's 3 you could get combines with your W as soon as you hit six.

With just one point into her R she does a minimum of 270(+20%AP) damage, without having any other spheres out. She gets 90(+20%AP) damage for every other sphere she put out.

Assuming she gets 3 spheres out before ulting. That's 540 magic damage on one point-and-click ability. And we're not even factoring in how much AP she has.

Lee Sin has point and click ult with a shorter cool down, 600 dmg at max rank and a 200% ad ratio.

Vi has a point click ult that does 450 dmg at max rank with a 140% ad ratio. And not to mention both ults have a hard cc attached to them.

at max rank

The stats I gave were for LEVEL 6.

At MAX RANK her R deals 180 damage per sphere. For a minimum of 540 damage.

Add in 5 more balls, which isn't too hard on someone who regularly build 45% CDR. That's 1,440 damage on a point-and-click ability.

This isn't even factoring in how much AP she builds, probably somewhere around 600-800 AP. With 20% scaling on her ult.

That can instantly delete any squishy with zero counter-play.

Oh and 80 sec cd max rank, with 45% CDR being mandatory on her.

A max rank R is only achievable at lvl 16. Most squishes have more than 1,440 hp. And her Ap only gets to 600-800 if she's ahead.

At level 16 it's late game, you should be full build or very close. Fed or not. 600-800 AP is very easily achieved.

Your argument is invalid.
