syndra update is a big failure .
Honestly the changes to her passive are horrible
the one that bothers me so much, is the w .. like we have to be in melee range, or so close for the 2 orbs to get picked up if the enemy has a stun or any kind of cc, they can cc you, since the range you have to be in is so bad
the q change is bad as well, those 2 extra seconds , add a lot lategame, but early game , they are worthless, there is no point in maxing q, the previous syndra had a huge boost to it, you would deal more damadge to champions, but honestly this is a bit too much, regardless of those 2 seconds, they wont save your life,now i tend to max e , since the w is a risky thing to do, vs viktor , annie etc , they can stun you up close and blow you up
if you're telling us to place as much q's as possible and then ult , then where is the skill in syndra, on a side note the q usage while moving is nice, but then again , the skill level goes way down, atleast in my opinion
the hextech items are nice though, but like getting there early game is a hassle, getting a rylaise , and the dash hextech item, you need a slow item now, to be able to play safe
