I wouldn't be surprised if high Elo players don't notice it much, but as a lowly silver player I've noticed my q-e combo is hitting much less often, even when I'm taking extra care to line up the shot. The 20 magic damage off her q at level one really makes me feel weak too. Syndra has been my favorite mid laner since 2013, but now I feel like i should just give up and play Akali and Ahri like everyone else.
idk it makes me really sad :/
Penguin Eclipse4 votesShe's no longer rewarding to play. One of her advantages was a strong early game. She no longer has that thanks to her Q nerf on top of the early game mana nerf. And her stun even for the most skilled players isn't even close to the effectiveness of the old stun.

Too true. They destroyed her early game power with Q, she took a hit to her mid-game power with DFG's removal and ALL parts of her game have been hit by the increasingly buggy stun. I wonder how long they'll leave her with a 43% win rate.
Reynard the ƒox1 votesDFG Removed? Well Ahri relied on DGF way too much let's buff the shit out of her.
Meanwhile Syndra sees back-to-back nerfs before the DFG removal.
Why is Riot biased toward certain champions? I never build DFG on Syndra, but still. Why are they so adamant that specifically Ahri stays relevant above all others? I don't enjoy playing Ahri, I enjoy playing Syndra.
GigglingAngel2 votesYou probably don't wanna play Akali now. She got nerfed pretty hard.
Dreadlocks1 votesHonestly, if you compare syndra's abilties to annie, you might be suprised at how similar the 2 champions are. From what ive been.. Syndra isn't played much anymore and i see a SHIT LOAD of friggen annies now.
Reynard the ƒox1 votesI've played Annie before and I personally don't enjoy her the way I enjoy playing as Syndra. It just feels like Riot is forcing me to switch champions.
Kat Head1 votesMana changes coupled with the nerfs she actually needed along with DFG removal were all too much for Syndra. As much as I hate this champion even I will admit she needs some love.
