Why its good to play syndra now

Although this is arguablly the most inbalanced patch. Syndra underwent a high rise to 50% winrate (mind that she is a extremelly high skill-based champ) with a role position rise of near 10 in champion.gg. The current meta favors her, nd there are a few reasons behind it.

  1. Her powerspike is real early This patch favors early snowballers, (like tyndamere) and Syndra is one of them. Reaching a 55% winrate to the 1-30min mark, her kit combination of cdr based 60 secs nuke ult with masteries hits the enemy balls-hard.

  2. two Dorans rings are damn op Despite the deletion of mana pots, stacking dorans grants the mana regen with the amount of a morello, which means syndra rarely goes out of mana in lane from a early stage.

  3. Zed He is really down the gutter. He is supposed to be a counter against you, but not anymore.

  4. fighter meta Her E pushes fighters and stuns them away from her allies in a 7 sec cdr. And is one of the best peels in mid range.

  5. thunderlords There might be opinions that deathfires are better, but in syndra's case thunderlords is a really strong choice to dominate. Her early harass QE-AA combo pushes the enemy while making a heavy hit combo, deniying trades from the enemy from a 800 range. And more better, her ult procs the mastery with ease adding up damage equivalent of another orb.

Her E is amazing (experienced it first hand a few times) and she can both be a snowballer and a staller.

Sounds pretty sweet... If only I could afford her.

Riot your prices are stupid.

6300 ip. But i say its darn worth. There is no mage that has this much utility, range, nuke potential. You will be saying "fok mobility I dont need it" when youre pinballing a garen, xin, and tahm

Its not about being worth it, its about it taking forever to get. I still need to get some actually good runes and those things are insanely expensive as well, and then the rune pages, oh god the rune page bullshit. I really hope Riot pulls its head out of it arse soon.

Too bad she's too difficult for 99% of people to play.
