Syndra always getting banned!

Bishasaurus Flex·Nov 2, 2016·1 votes·1,087 views

Seriously almost every game Syndra is getting banned. Kinda rediculous, she can be countered easily and is very vulnerable without her stun. I will admit, since her passive and W rework, its impossible to not get a 7 sphere ult and mass AoE stun. I feel like she went from "high risk high reward" to "moderate risk high reward". I almost want her to be nerfed so she doesnt have to be banned every game. But the last time she got nerfed, she was completely unplayable. I still have nightmares from 5.4

What do you guys think? Is she too OP? Does she need a nerf (or a new skin :D)?!

People are afraid of her ability to manipulate balls

I feel its more of a Solo Q / LCS issue. Laning against a syndra isn't as fun in practice as it is on paper, making the player in the mid lane more incline to just out right ban an annoyance that tends to snowball and then 100-0.

I'll have some people say "she's just broken" and another group say "just camp her gg" and shit..

But lets all be real here, would you rather lane against Syndra , or Cassiopeia Orianna Velkoz . Opinionate, but I'd like to see how many people legitimately think isn't as ban worthy as Syndra . Sure syndra's single target "Assassination" is dumb, but I rather lose 1 member then my entire team chunked to nothing by Velkoz Viktor . I guess skillfloor is an issue, syndra isn't hard and as easy to make mistakes as like cass, but idc we're not banning annie due to skill cap... we're banning due to how strong the champions are in the best scenario (in the hands of somebody veteran to them rather than first time).

A good syndra player also plans after the single target nuke, Syndra has Phenomenal CC potential, if she deletes a target with her ult she can land a massive stun with the spheres that are left behind on many team members and also her q combined with e can do more than just half a targets health, which is quite rare in mages since they usually will require a 3rd spell or their R, but since she got bonus true damage now, her level 13 spike is much deadlier since her q e w combo will delete the target before she can even R. also with the champs your used for examples Orianna -Team reliant, without a decent team, her ult would be useless, also Syndra is one of her counterpicks. Velkoz - Syndra usually brings ghost to get close to him, making him more vulnerable. Viktor - Syndra is more dominant in lane since her stun is instant and a wider/longer range. Cassiopeia - Syndra is one of the few champions besides viktor that can beat her, but since Syndra is more dominant in lane than viiktor, she would be a better choice.

Don't forget when she is ahead she has very high Kill pressure, a Master Syndra will make you fear where you step by setting up spheres for stun positions in as many ways as possible. Tip: if you see a Syndra with 5% cdr or more at the beginning of the game, it probably means they know how to manage their spheres and will zone you out of your farm.

Not really

thats bcuz ur prob not playing her right, or people dont know hwo to play her, she used go be just press R before they removed the triple sphere pick up in her w, but her true damage they added now gave her oneshot potential without needing her ult even with abyssal and Maw builders. even tho abyssal and banshees switched stats.

This is the first time someone called a burst mage OP for simply deleting champions.

"First" i beg to differ.

She also didn't need the buff she got after the MYMU, the one buffing her Q's damage. Needs a nerf, but everyone's overreacting with this whole Syndra hate train.

I would like to quote her: Syndra "People fear what they don't understand."
