A Small Syndra Change

Stacona·Oct 26, 2015·1 votes·459 views

Ever since Syndra's release I always imagined her being a type of hyper mage with a low cooldown Dark Sphere spam; which it ended up turning out that her burst ended up being higher than her spam, so she ended up being a mid game mage that falls off later, with a level 9 at earliest passive granting her a very small window of Syndra being strong. She can still be somewhat useful with her stun in the late game, but there are better champions for this.

Transcendent (Passive): Dark Sphere: Rank 5 deals 25% increased damage to enemy champion [from 15%]

Dark Sphere (Q): Cooldown: 4/3.5/3/2.5/2 seconds [from 4 seconds] Cost: 50 Mana [from 40/50/60/70/80 Mana] Range: 800 units

Damage: 60/80/100/120/140(+40%AP) magic damage [from 50/95/140/185/230(+60%AP)] Rank 5 Damage to Champions: 175(+50%AP) from 265(+69%AP)

That CD would bring for some disgusting ults. I've always wanted to see an 11-ball Syndra ult melt a fully-built Nasus that just popped his ult.

Syndra Down, doggie.

Syndra's ultimate has a 7 ball limit. This was easily proven during One For All as Syndra, where any and all same-team balls counted towards your ultimate.

That is a forced thing they did in URF and One For All - but they can easily just keep the limit for easier balancing instead of "in this obscure X scenario she deals Y amounts of insane damage" - and ultimate balancing has a million and one ways to balance it, so I am not worried about that

It has no limit however, because of cdr it is limited to 7 balls... if you lowered the cd you could have more than 7.

You really can't reduce the cooldown of her Q without breaking her ult.

Her ultimate is easy to balance around it - either with a cap of how many orbs it can launch or no limit with reduced damage each orb; but a hard limit would be the easiest balancing since then you do not need to change any numbers on it
