Can you please give Syndra some love?

Fisher No Chains··3 votes·765 views

Was looking at the PBE updates and noticed that Anivia is getting buffed because the mana changes kind of gutted her. Similarly, Syndra got hurt A LOT with the mana changes, and she was already in a terrible spot performance wise.

Syndra hasn't been remotely close to 50% winrate for a year now, and statistically she's worse than Ryze in Diamond+ (proof, laughable stats) which is kind of sad. I mean, Ryze is THE pro play breaker and he's in a better spot than Syndra, that isn't being buffed because "she could be pick/ban again in competitive". That's a bullshit excuse, no champion deserves to be a troll pick for a whole year. What Syndra has got are indirect nerfs non-stop (runes reforged, mana changes) and a partial revert on her passive that can be considered a power neutral change.

Please give Syndra some love. Maybe do the same thing you're doing with Viktor and give her very small buffs, but don't leave her in such a terrible spot any longer.

She's no doubt on the list along with several other mages. Malzahar has been mentioned as well though his issues go far beyond mana issues lol. Just wait and they'll get to her.

Uhm, I haven't read anything about Syndra in recent gameplay thoughts posts, the last time was when her passive got partially reverted.

Fun (and unrelated) fact: I've been enjoying Malz lately (even tho I wish they just reverted him, but hey I can dream right?), but he suffers from the Syndra Syndrome and feels really weak and not worth it if you want to climb, especially in this meta.

It'd be cool if I could enjoy again both of them without feeling like I'm assisting the enemy team.

What exactly is bad about her?

Waveclear, aoe hard cc, ability to kite, burst, long engage range, targeted ult that will take at least one person with you if you find yourself in an unfortunate situation.
