Why should Zed and Syndra not be allies:
- Syndra is a strong independant woman. More seriously, I don't want her to be "Zed's ally". She can and should be much more than that.
- Zed is an extremist and nationalist, who goes to huge lengths to "protect Ionia", even if he arguably fucks it up because of his Shadow shenanigans. Syndra, as of now, has no reason to ally with someone like that. "And if you are Ionian,' she mused, then you are my enemy.'"
- To add to the previous point, Syndra has so far been described as the biggest threat to Ionia. Doesn't mean she will be that threat, but she still is a threat. I don't think Zed would see her with good intentions. At best, he'd want to use her, which she would hate, and at worst, he'd try to kill her, which... She would hate too.
- Syndra currently lacks a defined goal. I'd rather her find her own purpose. She's her own character, she can be her own force in the Ionian conflict, I don't want her to somehow join Zed and have the same goal, it would be uninteresting for her character.
- In relation to my previous point, while this is more something I would personally like, I think Syndra can make her own faction in the Ionian conflict, with her own ideology, to bring something new to the table. Something that could enter in conflict with Zed's order, Shen's Kinkou, and whatever Irelia and Karma will be up to.
I am personally fine with that link removed. Unpopular opinion but Syndra x Zed is definitely not something I want to see. Syndra is my favourite champion, and there are so many interesting things to do with her, much more than "Zed's girlfriend". She is a force to be reckoned with, a character with incredible power and potential, she should definitely be her own thing during that conflict, a new faction/side rising against the already established factions.
