Not too big because then we have another Katarina on our hands.

She was my first (and only) bundle purchase because I love her Judicar skin and I love the casting while moving mechanic. I was expecting her to be a more damage oriented version of Orianna but lacking the massive utility. I was very disappointed

Fortunately, she's decent in Dominion because kiting ftw and it's easier to farm up the Rylai's which I find really turns her into a beast. That slow is a really good addition to her kit, but you can't afford it on SR, what with needing an Athene's just to be able to farm.

So she is meant for mid??

To top it off, there are those times when they plain don't do anything, even if the animation shows the skill firing. Watching Syndra cast her ultimate on an enemy AD carry and watching those orbs hit without the champion taking any damage is just depressing.

Syndra's Q is ok. It's not great. It has an acceptable AP ratio for a fairly high mana cost, but it is the most powerful part of her kit.

Syndra's W is an epic 1 second weak slow until she ranks it to 5 and gets 1.5 seconds. Honestly, that is the shortest slow in the game. Against opponents with tenacity, you don't even notice the slow take effect. The slow isn't particularly strong either, being on par or weaker than other slows like Galio's Q or Orianna's W. The setup required is just icing on the cake. There is no benefit for the increased complexity of the skill.

Syndra's E is the most hilarious skill ever. In theory, it provides the longest range stun in the game. In reality, it provides the most difficult to aim stun in the game on one of the longest CC cooldowns for an AP champion. The stun is nice when it hits, but because it's impossible to plan for it and it isn't very long, you can never take advantage of it.

Syndra's R is one of the most powerful single target nukes in the game. Too bad that it's unreliable (doesn't do damage at all sometimes), requires absurd setup time (I wonder if that Syndra with 4 orbs on the ground is hoping to cast her ultimate soon) and is short enough range that when Annie sees you trying to cast it, she summons Tibbers and melts you before her reliable stun wears off of you.

I have to ask: who was Syndra supposed to be strong against? When is she expected to win her lane? In which team compositions is she strong?

Right now, she loses every matchup and is generally a liability for her team.

Stop talking out of your ass. I hate people who do that.

Syndra is perfectly balanced. I never see her except when I play her, but when I do, I do as good if not better than most of my other middles. She is slightly more difficult to play then other AP mids because of her lack of any reliable escape mechanism, but the slow on her W and the stun on her e/q is strong enough to pull her out of almost every gank situation.

She can easily 100-0 a carry in a teamfight with ease, and if she can't get to a carry, she can deal massive damage on the sides and wear down their tank lines.

She can dominate any lane with ease with great burst and a great finisher ultimate.
Her damage isn't low, nor is it stupid high- it's fine. Just like the rest of syndra.

She does NOT **** on every single person in game with ease, but does that mean syndra is weak?

No.

So stop saying that, pick her up, build her right, and play her right, and you'll realize crying that your cries of UP are unfounded and worthless.

(I'll play any of you as syndra and show you i'm not just talking out of my ass if you prefer.)
