Get Fizz early, it will help you avoid many of her spells

Syndra fairs pretty well against enemies when she hits her spells, so we are making her able to hit them more often

Meanwhile, Syndra has the lowest win rate of all traditional midlaners in plat+ except for Ryze, Brand, and Viktor.

But please go on about how Op she is.

This just in, an ap mage with full ap build does damage! More news at 12

it was definitely the extra 22 damage from liandrys that done you in.

People whine about syndra when veigar and annie do the same thing [sg-lux-2] In the end you're the one who got in range, you have no one to blame but yourself when you get killed by syndra. You didn't respect her damage and got punished for it, what's the issue here.

If you're getting killed by her ulti outright (without getting hit by her 3 skillshot kit) you obviously didn't decide to build any mr, hexdrinker is actually one of the most broken items in the game yet you decide not to build it.

Season 8 when people cry to nerf a sub-50% win-rate champ and get upvotes, a classic

Fun fact: no item gives syndra's ult as much damage as a single muramana.

That's right fool, it still procs 7 times on her ult. With just muramana alone that's 750 damage added to her ult. That, coincidentally, is why muramana does physical damage now and not magic damage like it used to on release.

Jesus Christ your post history is just whining about nerfing a champ with a 47% winrate or Zoe. Zoe I can understand. Zoe is a champ which deserves nerfs. but you should calm your rage anti-syndra boner, its lasted for quite a while and you should probably see a doctor.

I wouldn't be surprised if a 7 sphere full build anything could one shot.

Salson1/7/2018, 10:14:36 AM3 votes

That's a full build Syndra.

At that point you have a Support with about 1K of shields. Or get some MR, you should be full build as well.

Nothing about Syndra is skillful [zombie-brand-facepalm]

Get boots early, and avoid many of her spells.

That's why you rush wit's end item 3091 for right?

This made me laugh more than i should have.

The second time i look at this post i realize that her ult not only did 2056 damage but also did 100% of your health bar by itself

(aside from liandries which is the true culprit here)

The only problem I have with Syndra Q and by extension her ult is the fact that she is not punished for spamming her shit on the floor missing everything then getting rewarded with a stupidly powerful burst.

The way this could be fixed is by making her spawned balls expire quicker if she misses champions_ (This would also rase her skill floor without needing to nerf her skill ceiling or damage levels)_.

Syndra feels like a good concept executed poorly in regards to:

  • Only champion at least I can think of that Rewards its player for playing poorly.
  • One of the few ultimates that forces you to take at least a bit of damage before blocking it because it WILL be refunded if you block ball #1.
  • Designed to be balanced by having "Low mobility" yet having incredibly long range abilities leading to an incredibly safe champion.
  • No care and attention put into kit synergy counter play. (Cough pressing Q and immediately E results in an invisible fast moving non blockable stun)
  • Atrociously poor hit boxes.

But then by saying things like "Her ult does too much damage if she misses her entire kit" I have seen many responses such as.

  • Buy an item that makes my champion invulnerable to counter her ult. (Really a bad argument if you think about it)
  • Lux , Veigar, Annie , Ahri do it too so complain about them! (Assuming that if the damage is identical between them,
    Lux relies on a well telegraphed skill shot. Veigar only gets to take advantage of his damage when you are poked low Annie Zero mobility and needs a summoner to really be effective. Ahri I don't understand this comparison. none of these get refunded if you miss or it gets blocked!)

[Edit] Reformatted one of the arguments.

Okay to be fair you must have walked near a Syndra with 6-7 orbs and a large large gold lead.

To be fair she only 99-0'ed you the liandry's effect

when rengo kills me i feel like i can get reported for leaving the base ROFL.

i like how ppl think syndra is comparable to other mobile assassins. she has counterplay in late game an adc w/o mr shoudnt be alone and frontlining. Supports have insane amounts shilends and healing how is synd going to kill anything in a teamfight. ppl ignoring all the points and focusing on one part cant give constructive cricism.
