Season 9 is about to start and Syndra still isn't a champion
I wrote this in the preseason of season 8 and now i'm devastated that i have to write this cry for help again. Can you guys make Syndra into a champion again? Like please?
Let me explain what I'm talking about.
has Q as her basic damage spell, W also as a damaging skillshot with quite a bit of cooldown, E as CC disengage? that is very unreliable and with high cooldown. And R, the only reason dumb people cry about her, like there isn't 50 more champions that can execute you the same way she does.
Syndra's Q has 70 base damage with 65%AP ratio
has Q as her basic damage spell, and it has 80 base damage with 80%AP ratio which is point n click idiot proof spell.
It can also stun if passive is stacked. Her
+R combo wins games because her AOE can delete entire team.
has Q as primary damage and waveclear, can hit entire wave with it, also does true damage,
she has sustain with her pasive, 3 flashes on her ultimate, reliable CC
has game breaking ultimate with a little bit less damage than Syndra but again she scales better, waveclears better, has a shield and movement speed buff, and again GAME BREAKING ULTIMATE.
Where do i start? 70%AP scaling on a spell that also roots? ? ? and has 10 seconds cooldown? Is it the lowest cooldown on a CC spell in the game? Can someone check?
She also has huge attack speed for a mage, an AOE shield, a slow which is also damage, and the ultimate.
Let's compare her ultimate with Syndra's ultimate.
Syndra's minimum damage at level 6 is 270 + 60% AP
Lux's on the other hand is 300 + 70%AP but its AOE instead of single target and its also kinda global and it also has CD reset so lategame she can cast 2 of those within 12 seconds. Funny huh?
has Q for main damage, which has 80 base damage, again more than syndra has which can be amplified by 150% if she hits you from greater range meaning it can do 200 damage at level 1. She also has movement speed, dodging spell, a giga range sleep. AAAND u shouldnt ever bring summoner spells against her.
has Q as primary damage , it has silly range, 80 base damage, again more than syndra does, it also slows you,
His CC is somewhat unreliable just like syndras, but he can clear waves better, also he has better ultimate.
Its AOE, in full duration at level 6 it has 450base damage + 125% AP ratio, and it also can do true damage.
I could probably make some more reasons why
needs medical assistance but to a sane man this would be enough.
She is considered to be an early game lane bully champion who relies on scoring early kills to influence the game,
but that effect has been taken away from her since new runes came to life and secondly since lost chapter got changed.
Lost chapter
used to cost 900 gold, giving 25 AP and 300mana. which meant i could safely recall at level 5 get my Lost chapter and look to all in with stacked balls on the ground ( i need them so my ult doesn't happen to heal the enemy).
Now if you perfectly last hit every minion in the lane, you still won't be able to get 1300 for this item before you hit 6 so you could walk into the midgame prepared.
Its a pain to even try and play her.
She has bad damage for a champion that has nothing but damage to offer.
She has no escapes.
Her only defense is also her necessary as offense. She has no movement speed. Building tanky versions of her is meaningless as she ends up doing 0 damage unlike some
who can build off tank and still delete you in one combo
She suffers early game from many champions who got attention in last couple of years.
She suffers midgame to any kind of mobility champions.
And finally she suffers lategame to basically everyone as she gets outscaled by every champion that builds AP.
