Will she be able to Q flash ult someone and one shot them? because that is disgusting and has no counterplay. also will she be able to stun the whole lane with her triple orb. nobody can lane against her as of this moment. buff her counters. aka mid lane assassins please

The only changes currently up for her are Changing the W passive and increasing her ult cd. So likely yes, she'll still be able to do that

This isn't "I don't understand the nerfs", this is "I have not read the nerfs". They got rid of the triple sphere pickup, how could she still stun the entire lane with it?

She can still mass stun with R and then E. Especially if she has many spheres on the field.

Of course she can, but that is not her "triple orb". That refers specifically to her post-rework W mechanic. She can still do lane-wide stuns in combination with her R, but she can no longer do them every 10 seconds with W.

Syndra's ultimate has always been able to do a lot of damage. Only with the MYMU update can she have access to maximum dmg at level 13. The nerf/revert to her W will only make it to where she can grab one orb, like before the MYMU. Pre MYMU her Q lasted for 6 seconds, and she only needed 35% CDR to access to maximum dmg with her ultimate.

Now, her max rank Q's last for 8 seconds, and they are not reverting her Q back to 6 seconds. This allows her to get 7 sphere ults much easier than pre MYMU even after the revert to her W.

They are increasing the CD of her ult (not neccessary), and reducing the dmg of her W by 10 I believe. Her W will have 20% true damage on it as well.

TLDR: The revert to her W will only allow her to refresh the timer on one sphere and she will still have access to max ult dmg and AoE stuns due to the extra 2 seconds on her Q's. Increased CD on Ult, W nerfed and switching base dmg for 20% true dmg.
