Why I loved Syndra

Syndra was a child was magical powers..But she never had bad intentions or goals . She was painted into a monster, the elders were afraid of her so they sent her to the "school" There she discovers that she was getting weaker because people didn't trust her in being in control of her powers , so they wanted to get rid of her powers...Even when she discovered that she told the elder to remove the spell from her..And when he threatened her she had no choice then to kill him...Then power started to grow within her again.. She knew if she went back she would be killed or imprisoned so she decided to lift the temple away from the others that wanted to get rid of her and live on her own. She was abandoned by her people...They were afraid of her , they send her to to lose her gifts...they were weak....they made her a monster...

Annnd in the new lore...She has some draining powers....she goes to the temple her growth is stopped she straight up kills her elder and everyone else....ok....

Honestly it feels like you are really gloryfying her old lore.

In her old lore it said that Syndras use of her magic was reckless,she lacked control and endangered others,thats why she was sent to the temple.

And her master geniunly wanted to help her learn to control her powers,he dampened them not because he wanted to take them away,but to make it easier for Syndra to get used to her powers(like giving someone support wheels to learn riding a bycicle),he only threatened to take them away when Syndra started argueing with him and he said that he'd take them away if she couldn't control herself(which is reasonable,you don't want someone without self control to have dangerous powers like these),at which point Syndra killed him.

After that Syndra took over the temple(no word on what she did with the other people that lived there) and vowed to kill the elders who had nothing to do with what her master did.

Boi, I have nothing against your thoughts about Syndra, but that lack of punctuation made reading them really painful. Please, get rid of the three dots, pleaseeeee*[sg-janna]*

I'd argue her new lore makes her less innately evil than before.

She was bullied as a child to the point of physical assault, shunned and feared because of her magical powers, and she still tried her best to temper her emotions. Only after even her teacher, the person who was supposed to teach her how to control her powers, started neglecting her, she snapped.

Everybody in her life let her down, her family, her village, and lastly her teacher. It is understandable that she lost faith in others.

And even after all that, I wouldn't consider her evil. She has serious anger issues, but so far she hasn't killed anybody, unless she was enraged by something beyond her control.
