A mage designed for single target burst can one-shot you? Scandalous.

The only thing actually single target is her ult. The rest has aoe damage. That being said, her ult hurts... a lot (if she has spheres already out).

They're technically AoE but that's because they're skillshots

That's a pretty lousy explanation.

Vistha KaiAug 31, 20161 votes

He actually appears to be an ADC main.

No wonder then.

I remember 1v1ing someone in a custom who was playing Syndra for the first time. If I was at half health I would just die instantly :/

Muh Mobility!!!

Meanwhile syndra casually stuns you from 2 screens away LUL

To be fair it is a skillshot and requires (even if it is quick) some setup.

Vistha KaiAug 28, 20161 votes

We went a long way from 2013, when Syndra was considered a troll pick.

Not to mention pretty much every Syndra main was like, "Don't do this MYMU on Syndra, Rito" and Riot was like, "Too late!".

To be fair there were 4 or 5 months where Syndra did dominate the midlane, then she was nerfed for being a lane bully that could 1 shot someone while staying in relative safety throughout the entire game if she got ahead.

Vistha KaiAug 31, 20161 votes

Dominating the mid lane? Hardly.

Yes, she had an increase in pick and winrate for about as long, but we are speaking about... 8% pickrate with 49% winrate. Oh and her average banrate in that time period was about 4% with one spike up to 9%.

Not to mention being a lane bully was kind of her thing and not a lot of people at the time really valued her mid and late game. So the whole early game nerf that made her deal no damage at the first 3 levels was pretty random and out of place.

Okay yes, I was definitely exaggerating (but just a little bit).

Aside from the past I think Syndra's current "problem" is more related too the abundance of cdr. It's now relatively easy for Syndra to hit the cdr cap which gives her full access to a lot of damage much more frequently. It's pretty easy for Syndra to have 25-35% cdr by 15 minutes, and whether or not you believe Syndra's ult to be OP. You really can't deny there will be a huge amount of frustration involved in such a high damage and low counterplay ability with a decent range being on a <75 second cooldown.

The problem with Syndra's ult are the MYMU changes nobody wanted.

Increased Sphere duration for maxing Q and grabbing three Spheres for maxing W. From level 13 onward you can walk (levitate) around with 7-sphere ult ready at ANY time (as long as you have mana, but get Archangel and you can do that for 5 minutes straight).

Now compare that to maybe 2 second long window with visible and rather lengthy setup before MYMU.

Whole skill cap went to shit.
