K can syndra not press one button and kill you?

{quoted}

His R does 325 + 75% AP. Since youre talking about oneshot with 1 button, I assume you mean the enemy has full health (so the execute damage isnt involved).

To oneshot an 1800 health ADC you need 2000 AP, assuming that you have enough flat pen to cut through their base 30 MR.

So "can"? Sure. Any stacking champion "can" oneshot you (so Thresh, Bard, Nasus). Its not going to happen though.

Well then by that basis Syndra also cannot oneshot.

Rebalance:

She can no longer infinitely walk around with 7-sphere ultimate and instead has only a 3 second long window to use it after a 10 seconds long setup with 40% CDR.

A rebalance.

Or, you know, you could buy a and completely negate her ult all together, like how you buy QSS vs Malz to negate his ult even on a mid lane mage who doesn't want it's upgrade. Works wonders building even on AD champions because, surprise, dodging AP damage means no AP damage until cooldowns are back up, and since her ult has an obvious cast time and sound effect, I'm sure you have the reactions to hit it when you notice those balls flying towards you.

Oh you mean like marksmen have been doing for the past couple years?

I mean, if you want to directly compare Veigar to Syndra, you'd need to make Veigar's Q leave behind "cosmic dust" or something for a couple seconds, and ulting would absorb all nearby cosmic dust to amplify its damage.

If you want to less directly compare Veigar to Syndra, you'd maybe make his ultimate passive generate charges upon him dealing ability damage to an enemy ( perhaps more if it's a champion? ), which fall off out of combat and are consumed to empower his ult.

Or ... y'know, what it currently is, even if the current version doesn't allow you to take your spell casts towards one target and turn them into damage on another. The thing is that old Primordial Burst dealt static damage, at least in comparison to Syndra's ult. In an actual fight, the only things that would change it would be AP steroids ( on either Veigar or the target ) or MRes changes. Which ... goes for every single AP scaling magic damage ability in the game. So if you shot old Burst at someone, even if it's literally as soon as you see them, they're probably going to die unless you were stupid and completely misused it.

Even with people's complaints about it, Syndra ult doesn't do that at all. It'll hurt, sure, but its damage isn't anything than slightly above-average unless she's a. fed to the point where anyone's damage would be ridiculous or b. she's actually been setting up for around ten seconds. If you see Syndra while you're just wandering about and end up dead from a single ult, that wasn't because its damage is just point-and-click-for-one-shot - she had to already know you were coming, and spent the last couple seconds doing nothing but blowing mana in hopes that she'd correctly predict your movement.

New Burst doesn't exactly allow you to do that, but it works on the same principle - and if you're wandering around the jungle trying to lifesteal some health after a fight, he doesn't need the ~10 seconds of set-up to ult you and instantly kill you. But in an actual fight, its damage still ramps up over the course of dealing damage to enemies. The main difference is that Syndra still benefits from whiffed spells, and Veigar benefits from damage he doesn't deal - but overall, they're both just targeted nukes that become really big as a fight progresses.
