What if Syndra's R made her spheres explode?

Most talks around Syndra are centred around her point and click nuke - her R. This has resulted in multiple nerfs, and even still now she remains an incredibly viable pick.

So what if her R was actually tied more to her spheres (as an AoE effect)? Instead of being point and click, the R would be an activate that forces all spheres to detonate in a small AoE, affording damage to each individual ball AoE that hits enemies champions. Perhaps, she wouldn't lose her spheres, they would just "overcharge" and deal damage? This could even mean re-instating her old W passive (3 sphere throw) and allowing Syndra more damage if she successfully sets up her spheres (rather than spamming q, alternating w with oldest sphere and pressing r on anyone in range).

It would weaken her reliability, but enhance her instantaneous AoE burst, thoroughly increasing her teamfights capabilities.

What do you think?

syndra has gotten nerfs becuase people cant seem to comprehend the fact that the more spehres she has out the more damage her ulti does.

i meas its not that hard.. if she has 2 of 3 spheres out... DON'T GO IN FOR A TRADE. you the only time you are going to get "one shot" by R is from a 6 or 7 sphere ulti

if her ulti is up and she has 2 or 3 out... BACK THE FUCK OFF.. wait a few seconds.. then go in

the ONLY way to get 6 or 7 and keepign the oldest one alive my picking it up and rethrowing it and the amount of cdr will alow you 6 or 7... and 7 is in like.. idk i havent played her in a while but i think... 2 second window every 20 seconds or so u can actually pull it off

i don't remember the math Syndra vocie over line sums up for playstyle VERY well

"people fear what they do not understand"

there have been MULTIPLE times where i 1v1ed a FED Syndra as SUPPORT Morgana .

because i KNOW when i can go in, (which is normally after they blew thier ulti on a teammate, but i know her cooldowns and if i saw her user her E and/or W and only has 1 sphere out... i KNOW she cant kill me.

I really like this idea. It's cool.

This would also bring back new, welcomed skill in her kit, and also gets rid of the reason to nerf her based on that "press r to delete" ult, like you already mentioned.

I would like to see this implied. ven when I never play Syndra, this sounds so right.

if you took away her ult the other skills would have to do more damage to make up for it. also you can really only get 3 balls down at a time without using ult so the CD on Q may need to be adjusted so you could have 4-5 down to detonate. It is a very interesting idea that seems high skill capped, which to me would be a welcomed change compared to her current ult. Currently its just press R, take your hands off the keyboard and shout "OUTPLAYED"... its pretty toxic stuff if you are not a tank.

What is bothering me is that she has always been this kind of Champion. Only during and after the MYMU did people have a problem with her. If Riot never adjusted her W to grab more spheres no one would have made a peep.

Build MR, don't walk in front of her spheres, it's not hard to play against her. I've never lost to a Syndra mid because I play her and know how she plays.

It's not hard. At all
