Syndra shouldn't get rewarded for missing her spheres

Why does Syndra get rewarded with a stronger ult still even if she misses 2-4 of her spheres? It makes no sense, if she lands them you die, if she doesn't you still die. It's a lose lose situation. Now I am not saying Syndra is OP, she is not as strong as she use to be, but still her spheres should not increase her ult damage if she misses them on a target.

I could see where there being extra damage for spheres in the area makes sense. However, I do agree that it could still be too much damage in some cases, when you feel you completely out played her and she hits "r" and you're 100-0'd instantly...

But honestly, I have to admit the fact that Syndra is really not that strong right now anyways. Assassinating someone is basically a thing of the past. It is normally pretty easy to survive a Syndra ulti if she doesn't get her other damage on you, I've found, with some MR and a shielding character on your team...

Played the most satisfying Viktor game vs. Syndra yesterday... A lane that I previously have kept losing. feelsgoodman

I think it is kind of a meh matchup.

You just eventually have to drag the game out until you start oneshotting everything with AoE while Syndra still is limited to her single target ult

But ofc when you win lane...

Leaving spheres behind is the part of her kit that can't "miss". It makes perfect sense, it's logical and comprehensible, it's immersive and there is not point in spheres just vanishing because they don't hit anything.

Deal with it.

The punishment for missing is doing no damage with the spell. You get the R damage regardless, but if you miss Q your Q doesn't do damage...plain and simple.

It would make no sense for her spheres to disappear just because she misses them and would put a disproportional negative effect a lower skill levels. The better players miss less of their abilities and would have more balls out in addition to already having more balls out due to there superior management of the timing on her balls to have more available for her ult. All this change would do is make it much harder for lower skill people to play her. There is a reason they don't balance the game around lower skill levels which is exactly what this change would be. I know it doesn't help but the answer to your issue is simply get good.
