We can destroy objects/pets created by other champions. Heimerdinger turrets, Zyra plants, Jhin traps, Teemo shrooms, Shaco boxes, Malzahar voidlings, etc. Syndra's orbs are clearly some sort of object she creates, and yet they don't even have health bars. Can someone explain why this is?
LBmyBB3 votesBecause its her own power. Other people cannot control them, and killing something is a type of control. Only she can control them.

That makes zero sense. Only Heimerdinger can control his turrets, but that doesn't make them indestructible.
LBmyBB2 votesFalse. Syndra can pick up heimerdingers turrets
Skittles91k3 votesSyndra's orbs are not "pets" for lack of a better word. They don't attack on their own, they're for Syndra's spells only. It's the same deal with Orianna's ball. If her orbs could be destroyed it would make it extremely hard for Syndra to ult and do good as her ult is based off how many orbs she has.
ModWulf Helhammer2 votesBecause they don't do anything after placed. All the others act as objects even after placement, so they have to be destroyed
TequilaZombie2 votesShort answer: Balance Long answer: If you allow Syndra Orbs to be destroyed, her power would have to go up WAY too much to compensate, as this would make her much more unreliable. Unless you make the mechanic of destroying them so hard to use that it's not even worth it to try and destroy them (for example, small hitbox and tanky as fuck), hence making the mechanic useless and just wasting everyone's time.
Heimer has his rockets and bombs. GP has his Parley, ult and AAs. Shaco has his Q, his Shiv, and his Clone. Zyra has her snare, her mini explosion thingie and her ult. Teemo has his blind and his AA's. Malz has his Silence, his DoT, and his Ult. Syndra only has her orbs.
The Magyk2 voteswhile we're asking silly questions: why cant we destroy caitlyn traps? nidalee traps? fizz's shark? gragus' cask? graves smoke? jarvens flag? jayce gate? jinx chompers? lux's e? olaf's axe? orianna's ball? shen's sword? swains bird? taliyah's mines? trundle's pillar? anivia's wall? azirs ult? taliyah's wall? zed's shadow? ziggs' satchel? zilean's bombs?
they're gameplay mechanics, integral to the champions kit. if you could destroy them then it would introduce extra counter play, allowing riot to make them stronger if they arent destroyed. you really want all those champions to be buffed?

That's actually not a silly question. A lot of those objects (but not all of them) should be able to be destroyed. It would allow for more interaction between champs.
The Magyk1 votesre-read the last part, if you make those objects destroy-able you have to make them stronger. think gang-plank barrels, the amount of damage they do late game if you dont break them. do you really want even more objects in the game with that kind of sway in a fight? make syndra's balls destructible and you probably have to make throwing them, pushing them, and ulting with them do MORE damage. dont know if you noticed but syndra ult already does plenty.
