Syndra Nerfs: Base HP 584 --> 570. Discusss.

So what do we think?

Syndra is on the nerf list for the patch preview. Time to see the damage for our recent power lol.

Syndra is almost every game picked or banned so i hope in best case scenario its gonna be some placebo nerf which will make casual players stop pick syndra. Lately i am seeing almost every game Syndra Picked on Mid Or Bot. I really miss days from 1,2 years when Syndra was never picked and neither in OP tier but also not weak at all.

Lowkey expected, not surprised at this, maybe even needed. Syndras been very strong as of recent but nothing absolutely insane. If you look at her stats it seems like like riots trying to address her presence, she’s got a super high pick rate and ban rate especially in high elo.

I would expect more of a nerf to take her pick and ban rate down rather than affect her actual relative power.

The amount of posts complaining about the upcoming nerf is crazy; she did not need a buff a few patches ago at all and the buff obviously made her mega busted. Syndra is not even close to becoming pro-jailed like Azir or Orianna and it's probably going to be a slap on the wrist anyway.

To people dropping her after the nerf, please do and go to the next meta champ. I'm happy she got nerfed so she's not spam picked or banned every game.

Considering we will be joining Ori and Azir soon as a 3% pick rate, 46-48% win rate, pro jailed champ will you keep playing Syndra or drop it? And what you dropping it for if so? I'm thinking I'll just switch to Ahri since that seems to be one of Riot's favorite champs which I can't imagine them ever letting be weak

Hey all,

I’ve been playing league since 2013 and I took a 3/4 year break from the game.

Syndra is up there with my top 3 played champs of all time. Even going back to before the rework. Lately I cannot for the life of me make her work in silver/gold.

Is this champ just bad for low elo? I can pilot her well enough but something just feels off.

As you can see my ranked Winrate is awful although my norms Winrate is a lot better playing with higher elo players.

Is there something just fundamentally off with league in 2026?

My u.gg before the discussion

Why I always see Syndra players, when I'm against, playing Comet, Aery, First strike but Electro is so rare?

I feel you lose a lot of early pressure by taking other runes, I get that Syndra is a scaling champ (a lot of my games I win because of that scaling) but I swear that with Electrocute you manage to survive and be a champ enough to reach the point of oneshot for most of the champs (assassins, adcs, mages and supps) with the full combo after Luden Shadowflame.

Thoughts?

I have been trying to play Syndra but I'm so bad. I CANNOT land Q or W consistently at all. Q I can land in lane if I time it when enemy is last hitting but that's it. W I can't even hit it like that most the time. And I play other champs that have skillshots and don't have this problem but its so much easier on pretty much any other champ. Only other champ where I have this issue of being unable to hit any skillshots is Karthus Q.

Anyway I can land E stun but I can't land Qs very well and I can't land Ws at all. W feels especially impossible cuz its so fucking slow (ability feels really clunky to me in general and makes me feel like I have dyspraxia when I use it) and you also pick up the ball/minion giving the enemies a heads up.

Part of it I think is champ range is just low plus immobile. Idk why people say this is a long range champ. Only E stun is long range everything else is pretty short range. And its really hard to get in range of enemies to hit skillshots while being immobile. Like Ahri skillshots are so much easier since you have mobility and Xerath/Vel'Koz/Lux all so much easier to hit due to being able to throw them safely from range.

I played 10 games of Syndra now in normals and I was literally getting gapped by silvers in lane even though I'm emerald on Ahri/Akali. Bc I would just miss every single ability and lose the most retarded trades. Like I will know my champ can kill here but then miss every ability and die lol. It was making me crash out

Currently high emerald EUW and I am kinda new to syndra and i play her apc since I main adc. I go Ludens into Stormsurge into Shodwflame into rabadons into usually zhonya void staff, is there something better ? ugg says Ludens < Shadow < Raba but I like stormsurge 2nd, but maybe then Raba 3rd is better ???

Should I go movement syndra or should I build for burst?

I need opinions on Syndra with Mandate + Storm Surge, and should that be my main build?

Which skin is better? gonna disenchant one and get the other

Hi I'm a new Syndra player and I was wondering what the community thinks is the best skin for her?

And yes I do survive lol... gotta go get that canon

Since we are finally getting a good default Syndra emote, do we know what happened to the first one that we were supposed go get almost 2 months ago?

What are the chances that Syndra got picked by caps as the second champion for his hall of legends? I know champions like Sylas are maybe more iconic on him. But still.. could also explain why it's been so long since the last skin

Trying to secure drake + repositioning from engages instead of pushing into enemies (I will never get out of Diamond)

Syndra is one of the best scaling mages of the game. syndra has a lot of burst damage, syndra has a lot of range, and syndra (yes, it does) rewards good players.

Since syndra scales well, you shouldnt take a rune that scales well, you should use a rune that make your lane stronger, because that way you have guaranteed scaling.

Since syndra has a lot of burst damage, you should build to make your 2 item spike strong (having flat pen from ssurge + t3 boots), being a threat in midgame

Since syndra has a lot of range and rewards good players, you shouldnt sacrifice damage to have your combo up 3 seconds earlier, if you will miss it, or combo the wrong enemy, or at the wrong time.

i feel like i can win lane every game then as the game progresses i just try to stun people in fights but i can never really carry a losing team. it feels like when i win its because i had a better team and not because of me is this normal?
