I had a friend claim she doesn't really have a lot of mana. He proceeded to go RoA and still seemed to have some mana issues with her.

Don't know how she works with her q, but if that spell is spammed like no tomorrow, thats 90 mana per cast. Just what I've heard so far.

Hmm... would you report someone if he dc'd a lot in game and was probably gone for like 15 game minutes? He reconnected like every 8 minutes or something and said sorry but in the end just wasn't even in game.

Standard.

And next champion that is op they will claim that riot only releases champions that are op to make people buy them. Syndra seems to need some figuring out, not a champ you do well with on day 1.

I've played vs./with a couple and one reset blue both times I tried donating it with that reposition thing. Hilarity.

I believe what makes or breaks Syndra is her E stun. It's SOOOO hard to land, but otherwise it is absolutely broken.

She is pretty fun to play, but I don't see myself playing her (again) in ranked until I have 30 solid games of her in normal draft.

I think Syndra's only problem is her lack of burst in teamfights due to her ult's short range not being able to be safe with it. It's got to be at least 200 range lower than the rest of her kit's abilities and low ratios on her main damage abilities. A buff or two in the right spots and she'll be in a great spot.

Also her stun being bugged and not connecting (orb hits but no stun) is also a huge issue at the moment.

Her ult dunks on people hard, but the rest of her kit is underwhelming.

I actually don't like her ult that much. Just seems like a weaker version of veigar ulti, her W is basically ori Q with the slow attached to it, really good (I mean ori range. it's free harass basically). E is a tossup because of how hard it is to hit a stun on demand but could be somewhat useful with her ult being thrown out first and then E all the orbs. Q is just an average aoe spell.

... I don't get why he'd max Q over W. W has longer range, a scaling slow, more scaling and more damage overall (The 15% on Q makes almost no difference when her W has better scaling) . Makes no sense unless I'm missing something.

I feel like for her mana costs and the amount of effort it takes to do anything with her for the mediocre damage/cc she outputs, it's not really worth playing her if you want to win. She is quite fun however.

Release champs can only be terrible or wildly OP, this is the internet, what is middle ground?

IMO Syndra's early game is fragile. Lategame Syndra is ridiculous though, so she seems pretty balanced.

I'm not even saying she's terrible.
She might be the first champ in a long time that needs no changes at all.

Okay, I played only 1 game with her so far, but I think she's balanced.

You can grab Tibbers and throw him back into Annie's face, so she's automatically the coolest champ in LoL.
