Easy harass in lane, low cooldowns and stupid high damage.
Long range stun
Ult has a stupid low cooldown for how powerful it is, DFG R almost 100-0s you early and late game without extra Q's.
Apparently hard to press Q 3 times and miss all of them but then press R for the kill.
Why is she allowed to stay as broken as she is?
Eminus4 votesDFG + Ult can't 100-0 you unless she's very fed. Yes, it can take a good portion of your health away, but it won't one shot you. Just be cautious when you're half health or lower - if she always has 1 sphere down, she can easily cast another to make it a 5 ult combo which can be pretty devastating.
I'd also like to mention that Syndra has very low mobility - if you play a champion with a quick gap closer, you simply have to wait until she misses her stun and then engage.
And to add on what already has been said: dark sphere has a delay time. With quick enough reactions, you can dodge most of the spheres she casts (boots help with this but aren't needed - assassin champions playing mid have no problems dodging my spheres). Repeatedly casting Q can also starve Syndra of mana early game, so use that to your advantage.
Riven my Wife2 votesbecause shes actually very challenging to play correctly, her q can be hard to land initially, its on a delay, her long range stun is very hard to land, and her w is slow oving and can be dodged. Shes a very very high skill cap champion and if you are mechanically sound on her, it should be rewarding, unlike a champion like darius where u just press E and kill whoever was in front of you.
Leblancs Boob2 votesSyndra's high skill cap is negated almost entirely by the existence of the DFG. Her abilities aren't difficult to land but the fact that she can miss them and still one shot you with DFG+R is a problem.
MrSlowDie1 votesshe's fine, she doesn't have monstrous WR like amumu, rammus, warwick, sona, kat and doesn't have fearsome overloaded assassin kit like yasuo, leblanc, talon, kass. She's just... popular :/
