Random ideas for Syndra transcendent bonuses

That's literally it. I was thinking about ways to make Syndra's transcendent bonuses more interesting.

W transcendent bonus:

  • Now also ''cripples'' the enemy champions hit for 1.5 seconds (a cripple is a CC effect from DotA or something that disables all sorts of dashes and mobility.)
  • Changed from: slow duration increased from 1.5 -> 2 seconds.

Currently, mobility fucks Syndra. Mobile people can just freely dodge her Q's and E's and go ham on her. If she lands her W, she thus punishes people that don't respect her unlimited power and she also gains a free shot with her E to stun them and (hopefully) murder them. This will also make her W worth maxing second against the likes of a Zed. For example, he jumps on her, Syndra stuns him, and once the stun runs out, she also cripples him. This means Zed is locked up in your team for 3 seconds, more than enough to burst him. Now you build Zhonyas, Zed.

R transcendent bonus:

  • Now deals execute damage per ball (equal to x% of the targets missing health) per ball.
  • Changed from: increased cast range by 75.

How does this help Syndra? Well, Syndra's burst falls off lategame against high health targets. This will allow her to burst more people than just the squishiest champs. I dunno. Seemed like a fun change.

Not saying these are necessarily good changes, but I do think they will help her by giving her more lategame power and such. Also, I'd still love to see her base damage on her Q increased by 10 on rank 1 and such, but I don't think that'll actually happen. One can hope though.

How about a working E? As it stands Q E can directly hit an enemy, do nothing to them, then literally fly back at me in a straight line. That's even more annoying than the 50% of the time it just does a direct hit that does nothing. I've checked replays repeatedly to confirm these things, and it's hard to imagine your own orb flying back at you when it happens repeatedly.

Either they have something planned and don't want to talk about it, or more likely are content leaving Syndra at the bottom of the trash bin. Riot have left champions in the shitter for nearly 3 years at a time. The only reason it usually doesn't hit the 3 year mark is because at that point the game has changed so much, everything else has been nerfed so much, that gradually a former troll pick becomes viable again. I expect Syndra to be viable by 2018.

Ayy, mate, but Syndra already fucks LB over.

i think syndras main role should be more based around her orbs and utilizing scatter the weak on multiple orbs/entire enemy teams instead of just stunning a single target to snipe it. her ultimate should also be used less for bursting but more for replacing the orbs for scatter the weak and such.

like, instead of her Q doing so much damage and being her main damage spell, it should be used more to charge up orbs and then make her damage but also mainly her CC come from her W and E

Execute damage would require her ult getting less damage.

Better would be to make it deal increased damage from the damage Syndra has already dealt to the enemy champion.

This needs to be an official CC in the game
