Syndra's Power and Potential is being Shackled!
For a Champion that is supposed to have immense power and infinite potential... it's sad to see Syndra in such a poor state as is. At the moment it feels like we are playing a Champion that doesn't live up to her thematic goals. It's not even that she is just merely in a balanced state... no at the moment she is actually weaker then an average, balanced state. Prior to the mid year mage update, Syndra was in a horrible spot... but guess what... she was actually stronger then she is currently. When she was buffed in mid year mage update, her kit broke and thus she obviously needed nerfs... sad thing is she was over nerfed into being worse then she was prior to the update. Her Q lost damage base and ratio, her W lost ratio and spell width and her ultimate gained cooldown. I feel like alot of these nerfs need to be reverted now that Syndra's mid year mage update has been reverted. The thing that broke her was her access to holding 3 spheres with w, which has been removed, and her longer duration q's which made max sphere ultimates extremely easy to pull off. On top of that the meta favored her at the time. But people actually build tanky now, Stopwatch exists, Nullifying Orb exists as well as Maw and GA. Syndra is supposed to be a lane bully and she doesn't feel like it... when you compare her to lets say Cassiopeia whom has a similiar harass ability in Q which Cass's has more range, more scaling and base damage and a shorter cooldown. It's really just sad.
Syndra needs to be buffed... I dont think in damage... but in survivability, if she wants to compete in the current meta or in general. Out of all the stuns in the game her's has the longest cooldown and doesn't compete anymore with mages that have recently had their cooldown reduced on their self peel ability. Lux Q, Ahri E, Taliyah W< there are other mages... but they all have short ass cooldowns now. Syndra's still remains at 16 seconds. You could compare her to Veigar and even he has a shorter cooldown because his E cooldown begins the second you place the box, so its about 12 seconds along with all the other mages currently. The buff I'd like to see on syndra is her E cooldown reduced to 12 seconds at rank 1.
Stop shackling her greatness! Syndra would not allow this... right now it feels like she is literally being restrained... and it completely clashes with her lore and thematic identity... especially when she is NOT in a even balanced state... but instead in a very weaker then the average mage state.

because i would run OOM in a few combos,it should cost 20/25 less mana
