So apparently our Dark Sovereign has finally been deigned worthy to receive some touchups of Riot.... however, I (and many others) do not think the 30->40 mana growth alongside the 90->95 Hp growth are the buffs she requires... Yes, any buff is nice... but the real problem for Syndra is her numerous bugs. For me the only buff I'd really ask for at this moment is an additional base movespeed increase of like 5. For others it's reverting the W radius change, or at least allowing the first cast of W to have an equal range to the second cast (because yes, i'll admit W feels clunky in general).... There have been several QoL suggestions made in the subreddit to fix the clunkiness: from the previously suggested range increase for the initial cast, to increasing the travel speed of the pickup and throw... and funnily enough, these suggestions are just to mainly counteract the buggy nature of W...
(The E is also experiencing bugs... which are honestly more drastic than the W in that it'll fail to register as a knockback on champions.. sometimes it just wont knockback the spheres.... and then other times, spheres that have been knocked back into enemies wont register a stun, countless times resulting in a death.... W... most mains have become so used to the W failing they barely recognize it as a spell.

A personal request... which I'm not sure is a bug or not.... but seasons ago, i recall Syndra's ult being coded similarly to Cait's, in that if the enemy died before her ult triggered it would automatically cancel/reset... and I don't see anything with a recording of this change... just feels really bad to be lining up ur ult, only for someone else to get the kill before ur balls even rear up... then to see them all catapult towards a corpse/empty space. So a record of the change would be nice (unless I'm actually somehow mis-remembering lol)

But yh... TLDR, instead of a mana and hp buff, I think a better target buff would be a base movespeed increase of 5.

As a Syndra main, I approve this message.

I'd prefer it if her orbs didn't collide with her in her walk cycle, so she stops fidgeting around over nothing.

That Syndra "buff" is a bigger joke than the -5 ms nerf to Irelia or the 0.25 zoe nerf.
