Syndra should not even be a dominate pick in LCS

Hello im the mage who can miss almost a full spell rotation but still killed you because i pressed R.

Im sorry but this champion does not deserve a SKT skin. Doesn't matter if she was a dominate pick and what not, seeing this champion receiving a skin like this is honestly a mockery and embarrassment to Riot games. Because for a champion to receive that reward, it should be champion that ACTUALLY takes skill to use not a slayer bot that secures kills with one button. Its just a really bad look for the LCS. LCS Is supposed to demonstrate what a champion played by the best people in the world are capable of doing, to demonstrate the champions full potential.

But this? this is a mockery towards the game. This is not about rewarding strong picks, its about rewarding simplicity and i cannot respect simplicity at the highest peak of competitive play.

A champion receives a skin at the wishes of the champion. Faker wants Syndra, Syndra deserves it.

Anyways, she receives a lot of anecdotal hate and not enough credit for the actual mechanics of the champion. Everyone claims she hits R and kills them, but that's simply not the case unless a perfect, 7-ball ultimate is achieved on a non-MR champion or a whole combo is blown, which can be said by so many champs with death ults such as Lux, Veigar, Fizz, etc. She's very squishy, has absolutely no mobility, and must rely on landing a partially controlled skillshot stun to actually catch anyone.

Facing syndra, it's easy to say "She hit R and I died." But that's never the case. 3-4 balls does very little. When you get hit by a full combo followed by a 5 ball ultimate? Yeah you died because that was a nuke mage's entire kit. Play her if she's so despicably simple and easy. If you reach Diamond with her, then maybe you'll have a point.

I have played Syndra quite a bit and I'm fine against her. The thing is if she misses her full spell combo her ult won't kill you. Surprising right? You don't understand the mechanics of Syndra your just here crying on why Syndra doesn't deserve a skin cause she is a "no-skill" champ and how she is a embarrassment to pro play and the game itself. Your honestly pathetic.
