Now I won't get hit by her stun when the orb clearly never hit me. Thing was almost as bad as an old Nid spear, or a Thresh Q.

Nope. Hitboxes on those are totally whack.

But is it as bad as Leona's E?

What's wrong with her E?

Just the extra radius the balls got to hit with a stun. It was something like 1.5x the radius of the balls would stun you when only the normal radius was intended.

I was talking about Leona's E.

As a Syndra player I'm fine with this, but I also hope they fix the rarer inverse glitch where a Syndra orb goes right through someone and fails to stun them.

SaevumJan 1, 20152 votes

Gotta admit i have seen that. But hope they don't overnerf the hitbox.

Its Riot we're talking about here, of course they are gonna overnerf it, expect Syndra to be unviable post patch as it will be impossible to land stuns. 4-6 months later it will be slightly buffed in a patch.

Sad but true reality of an incompetent balance team that over nerfs every time.

yep...this pretty much..

thinking of just maining/spamming yasuo/zed/lee sin and just make more people rage so they finally look at the real problem...bulshit kits fix those first before nerfing every other champ

yeah yasuo got a small nerf...wich did NOTHING to slow him down, he can still get 100 crit chance all the time , stupid nerf only by 10 percent that is until he gets an ie then the so called nerf is non existent

They are also nerfing her early game Q damage which isn't exceptionally strong to begin with.

Her Q was one of the sole reasons she was such a stupid lane bully.

Aside from her level 6 powerspike.

She's a non-mobile mage. She's supposed to be a lane bully. If she doesn't do well in lane there is literally no point in playing her.

Her Q's fairly easy to dodge none the less. And with the mana changes her ability to bully has been reduced. Her pickrate is already dropping below 8%. If the Q change goes through with the E change, her pickrate will tank to under 2% like where it was at the end of season 3.

Cass, Ryze, and Azir are all lane bullies. Karthus is... Karthus. His kit makes him impossible to properly balance.

ZoofJan 1, 20151 votes

Karthus obviously isn't a lane bully due to his absurd ultility and AoE damage in a team fight, Ryze is no longer a mid lane bully as he gets outranged by every other ranged champion and has almost no good matchups, plus they nerfed him so he isn't so great top (which also ruined him mid), Azir is an absurd bully, being able to do a safe 150+ damage every 4-6 seconds with you having no way of counter attacking and Cass is a lane bully, that is just somewhat weak currently due to her passive which wants her to be lategame.

JunkοJan 1, 20151 votes

Cass and Azir are both lane bullies. Ryze is a top lane bully.

Karthus can be a bully if your opponent is retarded and doesn't dodge Qs lol.

LankPantsJan 1, 20151 votes

maybe azir idk?

He's not really immobile, a bit bellow average maybe but not immobile.

ryze a mid lane bully?

Same shit as top lane, if he outranges you he is, if he doesn't he isn't.

karthus a lane bully? cassiopeia a lane bully?

Both have specific gates (mana cost and passive) to keep them weak in lane. Karthus is also a very interesting case, as he is OK at bullying other immobile mages, his isolated q is huge but easy for anyone with even decent base move speed to dodge.

veigar is a non-mobile mage. Should he be a lane bully?

His infinite stacking mechanism takes precedence over his mobility issue, same reason Nasus is not allowed to be strong early.

StegosaurusToastJan 1, 20151 votes

that is why you build Racecare Veigar, to make his mobility no issue

You can play Veigar as a lane bully easily. People don't realize his early strength.

I wonder if they are going to fix her E bug that lets her snipe across map sometimes... or at least until it hits something. Almost died to that the other day.

DiostukosJan 2, 20151 votes

Kind of glad they're looking into Syndra's E. I've noticed that sometimes it's like 3 teemos away and they still get stunned. Also I've seen cases where the orb clearly goes right through them but no stun goes off.

asktiksJan 2, 20151 votes

meh figures just bought her...

well from all playing here I can say
azir > syndra all day

yes she can bully with Q but with nerfs to mana regen, by level 4 or 5 you simply do not have the mana to stay in lane and keep poking and zoning, its simply not possible anymore and nerfing her early game damage is only gonna make it so we save mana for lvl six ult and rush leveling Q faster now also, makes it dam near fkn pointless to buy seekers armguard or anything other than your core start because since you cannot farm/poke like you used to , you itemize for playing against AD you are screwed since you just newtered your own advantage over the ad , burst

its pointless if they nerf her early Q harass as it stands if she cant farm she SUCKS come mid game, also her late game is naturally weaker than most mages , only utility keeps her viable late game and that's getting nerfed /fixed with stun I hope they just nerf width not range, and yes hitboxes need fixing but other than that I wouldn't touch E width, that's not the problem the problem are the large hitboxes for the orbs

nerfing its width will just make me have to aim a little better but as it stands , its gonna be just like premax rank so it wont change the playstyle one dam bit , not too worried bout that one, worried about Q though
