Syndra's Power Throughout The Game?

Apple tater·7/10/2016, 5:42:17 PM·2 votes·584 views

Hey, I main Syndra and I wanna discuss something. Syndra's power throughout the game. I believe she was supposed to shine the most late game,
but from my experience, Syndra's laning phase is almost better, LOL XD. Her mid game is amazing and she can nuke everyone, late game the only one who she can nuke down is the adc and maybe a squishy support. Shes supposed to be a late game champion, but shes more a mid game champ, which is a problem. ive started to repeat myself so im just gonna sum it all up: Early game is okay Mid game is godly (can nuke everyone) Late game is not very good, most mid laner's are better than her. And since the games are around 30+ mins long, shes not a very good option, yet i still play her. What should be done? I think they should rebalance her mid and late game, making late game stronger than mid. Because she is only useful for the stun late game in my opinion. :/ Feel free to reply, i wanna see what u think about Syndra's current state :)

Probably not the place to talk about it here, you'd be better off talking with your people

Not trying to be offensive, but the Boards are more focused on trying to meme and yell at Riot, you won't get a ton of super-legit discussion here. (You guys are free to prove me wrong though)

The passive changes turned me off Syndra. I thought they would improve how the passive works, not turn her into an ult bot.

They needa make her Q lv1 damage back to 70, make her passive less shit, fix her endless bugs, and maybe then, her winrate will be >50%.

As it stands, she spikes at level 6/11/13 (or whatever level it is that Q/W are maxed) and doesn't really spike afterwards except for her lv16 as to be expected. They needa make her passive less shit, but they made it more shit with her tiny update in the MYMU.

I would agree that her mid game feels very strong, but only if you come out even or somewhat ahead in during early laning phase. Even if you get the tiniest lead, you can still lose big because you need to constantly keep the dice rolling if you want to actually get objectives. Snowballing is very key to her playstyle, and if she isn't allowed to do that you won't be going anywhere. In most cases it's hard to play her cause the smart players will just stonewall her by buying early mr rushes such as negatron cloak or hexdrinker. The amount of games where I have to rush void staff as my first or second core item is ridiculous.

She mostly has damage in her kit and one scatter the weak isn't enough sometimes during explosive teamfights. She'll get instantly focused and bursted down assuming people think she is a threat. During these explosive fights out of nowhere you hardly have time to set up. One Could say that she should constantly keep her set up ready, but to what extent can she keep it ready for any situation without going oom. She has to play more responsive than being proactive; usually involving having good positioning and some what good sphere management.

I personally don't think she needs changes. She doesn't seem too strong nor too weak. Her late game isn't that bad imo. It's a matter of skill and how the players interact. If you have watched Overlorde Forte's stream or have seen any of his guides, he will say that almost any matchup is fair game and depends on the skill of the player. There will be matchups where the other champ has a slight advantage, but at that moment you would probably need to focus on staying alive and actually cooperating with your team to set up plays.
