Why is syndra allowed to deal nunu ult levels of damage instantly/point and click and one shot me?

I can be the fastest assassin but I was merely tossed back/stunned for nearly 2 seconds right after seeing her zhonyas me. next thing she ults at me to deal my entire hp bar. This was late game and i had all my items but the way she did it on me was so faceroll and 0 counterplay. Fair? I think not.

Look at pantheon who was reworked to not have a point and click q that deals 200ish damage. Okay now look at syndra ult which is dealing all your hp instantly and has a damn 50 seconds cd.

Veigar has a point and click ult but he pays for it by having extremely unreliable base abilities and the need to farm ap to actually do damage while vulnerable himself to enemies who avoid his e.

No other burst mage is allowed to have a point and click ult and their ult isn't even as powerful as syndra's! She even has some extra transcendence mechanic to upgrade her already broken abilities. Overloaded nuke much?

So you say that if players avoid veigar e, then veigar becomes vulnerable. If you replace veigar with syndra, it's the same thing.

Syndra has 3 skillshots, and a point and click ult. You wanna talk reliable? Take a look at your cancer main, and tell me about reliable.

Veigar pays for something... Well that made my day. AP Nasus that destroys my games have "extremely unreliable base abilities".

Now tell us what champion did you play... Let me laugh again.

Maybe you could post a link to the match you're talking about since there doesn't seem to be one on this account since 2 months.

For your question, Syndra R deals damage depending on how many Qs she has active. She throws the 3 orbs always with her and up to 4 additional ones casted from Q. Her counterplay is to not let her prepare that many orbs, and once she has that many orbs with her, stay out of range. At rank 5 her Q costs 80 mana and burns a lot of mana if she tries to keep as many orbs as possible over a longer period. Yes, her abilities are all aoe, which makes them also dodgable. With minimal mr investment and/or a lifeline item, you can easily survive her ult. The rest becomes a matter of tankiness and your ability to dodge.

You also said she used Zhonyas right before, meaning it wasn't a full stacked r either, so you probably didn't invest anything into mr even in lategame, knowing you're against a Syndra. If you already know her abilities get enhanced once she reaches rank 5 on them, you should realize she's a threat the more levels she has.

She needs a rework, a nerf is just dumb and only makes her feel bad or just flat out the same problem. There needs to be more interaction for syndra other than put balls all over the place and click r to one shot anyone.

Because she can only do it to one person and doesn't slow by 5 million%

Syndra does nowhere near nunu lvl dmg, nunus ult can do 4k dmg in a normal game, syndras does around 1.5k

Syndra's damage was simply brought up to par with assassin damage. She is still immobile, so if she misses her stun she's dead. If she's killing you with just ult it's real late in the game or she got fed.

I'd like if they lowered all the damage in the mid lane. She's literally the only immobile viable mage stop crying bc "point and click" after she landed her skillshot.
