@Riot Idea for Syndra buff.
If the bonus effects were able to get a small buff and were distributed by leveling what you want to become stronger I think this would definitely be able to give syndra somewhat of a more strategic counter-playstyle depending on if you're having a hard time and given the circumstances able to max a buff which would be more effective for you instead of having to wait to reach max rank. Basically instead of only granting bonuses at max rank, it should grant small bonuses every rank.
FOR EXAMPLE Q Dark Sphere Rank 1 = 0% Rank 2 = 3% Rank 3 = 6% Rank 4 = 9% Rank 5 = 15%
I've played Syndra since her release and I think Her passive is completely fine . Transcendence is only for people who can handle it. I think part of the reason her passive is the way it is because She's such a powerhouse and is as such a high risk- high reward champion. Syndra gets rewarded by making strategic plays and requires a more in-depth knowledge of the game.
