Syndra R --> Pseudo Skillshot? Dodgeable point and click?

I don't have a lot of experience with Syndra, but what if they kept her ult a point and click, but instead of locking on and homing, she just throws all of her balls at them as linear skillshots? Something like point and click --> every 0.2 seconds afterwards Syndra throws one of her unthrown orbs at her target's current location.

This would reward Syndra for landing stuns, but would also let people dodge 1-2 orbs if they dash, and another 2 if they flash. I'm not saying they should be interceptable though. Just not homing. If you guys have any suggestions to go along with this, feel free to share. I just thought it might be a cool idea.

And before anyone flames, please note that I'm not saying she is OP or anything, I'm just honestly wondering what people think of the idea.

Syndra's full ultimate doesn't finish in the duration of her stun. I know this because when you stun Ekko and ult immediately after, he still has time to ult before your whole ultimate goes off to keep him alive. Wouldn't really reward her for hitting it.

So, maybe the cast time / projectile speed could be changed? Or perhaps ulting a stunned target could boost the spheres somehow? Or extend the stun briefly?

So you dont have experience w Syndra but want to make changes. OK

I have played against her and I have seen her ult plenty of times and from an outsider perspective, I find it frustrating that I can flash and everything still hits me. People are also complaining about her lately and I just thought I'd throw an idea out to see what people thought of it. No need to be a jerk about it, I was legit just asking if it's something people would like to see. OK

Wouldn't really reward her for hitting it, she's already rewarded with a free Q and W that already have a long cast time.

I mean, the cast time and projectile speed could be adjusted. Or maybe there could be a special interaction if the target is stunned.

Pseudo: Means fake/sham in case anyone wanted to know.

._. Not sure if a jab or serious explanation, but in essence it would be a bunch of auto-targeting skillshots that are initiated by a point and click. Dodgeable, but still point and click.

If they did that they'd have to add power to her since the ult would now be less reliable. Not sure if you want that...

Well I don't play her so that's part of why I am asking! I figure Malzahar has the solid point and click no counterplay niche, so maybe Syndra could have a little more power in exchange for counterplay?

Haha, hell no XD. She's due to be on free-rotation soon, you should try her out then.^^ I promise she's fun.

Her ult is the only point-click she has. She has a lot of counterplay in her kit, she's just overtuned a bit right now. She has to build up spheres to get the ult damage up, the dodgeable aspect would just make people more unsure of when she can kill.

Malz's Ult does basically no damage if he doesn't prep the rest of his kit first, and even then.
