i'm just wondering if anyone else thinks her nerf was too harsh. i mained syndra, bought both of her skins and was working so hard to master her. i just think that yeah, syndra was strong, but shes also one of the most mechanically challenging champions in the game.
i feel like the removal of DFG and a little nerf on her stun were okay, but even now, i hit people with my stun and it doesnt even do anything.
i'd love to hear opinions.
She lacks clear strengths or a reason to pick her thanks to the nerfs
She didn't need a nerf and DFG being deleted was a nerf. Her hitbox is so awful for her stun that people including myself thought it was bugged. Sure seems bugged to me. Her Q damage being 50 is equal to an auto attack, it's a joke.
She needed to have early game power and lane bullying to transition into a reasonable mid game. She lost that with the absurd Q nerfs.
Her mid game consisted largely of getting picks with her fully combo after a stun + DFG. DFG was deleted and her stun never works anymore. She has no mid game.
According to online stats her late game was always bad because it was always her lowest win rates. Now she's so terrible mid and early it actually goes higher the later the game goes, and that ends up always being far below 50% anyway.
Anyway, Meddler confirmed they will NOT revert the nerfs and will "buff" (lol Riot saying 'buff' is about as as trustworthy as a politician's promise) her stun width but not back to what it was. They supposedly did this before and nothing changed, you could hit a full sized Cho'Gath dead centre and it would knock him back but not do damage or stun.
Good programming Riot. That consistent 47-48% win rate at Gold to Diamond sure was oppressive, thanks for taking care of that bully of a champ by nerfing her into the next Diana.
It was, and Riot agrees. She should have some small buffs coming in either the coming patch or the one after that.
I think it was Meddler? that made a post about it a few days ago.
I think she needs more nerfs.
i agree the nerfs were hard but doing 1000dmg point and click is not mechanically challenging
Considering that a level 1 Q deals less damage than a basic attack... yes, they may have go too far.
They ended up ruining a lot of mid laners rather than "compensate" them :/
{quoted} i hit people with my stun and it doesnt even do anything.
This was happening even before the nerf. There were a number of times where I would hit people with the ball knocked back from my E at nearly the ball's max range, it would deal damage and slightly displace them, but would not stun them. To be clear, this was well beyond the range of her E's knockback. It was definitely the ball being knocked back that hit them.
Oh, and don't forget to mention the Athene's nerf. She was already out of the meta or on her way our before the removal of DFG and damage and stun nerf.
i think it was
