My thought on why I think Syndra is weak and how to fix it.
Hey guys I was a Syndra main during s7 and play her from time to time and this is what I think is keeping Syndra down. I have played Syndra and I feel like a few things that kept her down are Tld removal.
- Tld had really good synergy with syndra because it procced when she ulted it gave her that extra spike in dmg she loves.
- I think this is the thing that keeps syndra down alot. Defensive runes/sums i'm talking about stopwatch, null shield, barrier.
Syndra is a lane bully and lane bullies are to be respected and if you dont you have to face the fact that you will get chunked. The only way of syndra getting a kill during the lane phase is by using her ulti ( has anyone dies to syndra without her ulting you in lane phase?) she relies on getting a kill by using her ult however there are alot of defensive spells that oppenents can take to deny her those kills that is not a bad thing in itself cause if someone managed to survive thats a good play by them.
So my thought on how to fix Syndra are either one of these I felt when playing Syndra like I lacked that tiny bit of power I needed A. Increase base dmg rank 2 -3 q by 10 Due to defensive itemazition she lacks the power to get kills. She needs more oppertunity's to get kills which she does by having her ult up more often. B. Rank 1 r down by 10 seconds there also a 3rd option which is removing power from her r and placing them into her ability's, Syndra can kill oppenents only if she meets these requirments 1. is my ult up 2 is my jungler here. Its really difficult killing someone without having your ult up and could potentially lead to less frustration but I dont like this, Why? I feel like Syndra identity is being a lane bully that has alot of punch backed into her ult. If I wanted to play someone who did alot of dmg without using r both veigar and cassio would be better.
I saw in meddlers post he wanted to buff her by giving her the same mechanic zed has however I feel like this would cripple her winrate even more. Syndra is an immobile mage in a situation where she has to roam alot to get ahead she will get fuked over if anyone is near her. Also Syndra has a tough time dealing with tanks before getting some items which makes it worse if she has to roam. Someone like zed can afford this cause he's slippery but syndra cannot.
Tldr: Syndra needs either an ult cooldown buff or q base dmg buff to put her back into the game.
