The problem with syndra is, for beeing hard to play, she doesn't offer more for a team than lets say annie. Annie has more burst damage, better range and more reliable cc than syndra, so why play syndra?
He is gonna kill you!!!

No nick Annie doesn't have better range on her skills...Her damage is comparable, but Syndra's base damages are much higher meaning she can build more defensively and focus on stacking AP later on.

In a team situation, Annie clearly has Tibbers+AoE cone. Syndra however if played "to perfection" should be able to instantly gib/kill the enemy AP or ADC...

Riot, I think, is learning.
Darius is one of the single most broken champs out there for sub 1500 elo, and is still a very solid champ past that. Going up the ELO he moves from being very powerful early game to being a monster late game, early game at low elo he can just go double or triple dorans and **** all over people. When you get to higher elo though you need to build him meta golem to really make him shine and play kinda passively early. But darius, zyra, naut, these are all recent champs that were OP as **** when they were released.

Now we have champs like rengar and syndra that ARENT op as ****, they are actually pretty well balanced for a change, and people ***** that they need a massive buff because they don't **** all over everyone the first two weeks before the champ gets hit with the nerf hammer.

Quit whining. Yes, syndra has a high skill cap. So you know what you do? RAISE YOURS. Not make her 'herp derp faceroll win' so that everyone can rape with her. Thats just not fun. High skillcap champs like Orianna, Kassadin, and Cassiopeia are MEANT to be super rewarding if you are good enough to do well with them, whereas champs like Ryze and Morgana have a simple strategy and a fairly easy build, and as long as you follow their theory and dont suck at game basics you will still do well no matter what. Not nearly as fun or satisfying to play.

Shes more of a anti bruiser mage. Just keep knocking back your enemy so they cannot trade with you. *cough* Jayce *cough*

Shes not as bad as you think she is.

The thing is, Syndra doesn't feel super rewarding even if played well. The hardest champ to play should also have the highest damage and/or best fight control abilities, I just don't see that at her.

Iintitally though this was a more adanced version of orrianna
I was wrong and shes is thing like her and orianna is just better overall


... What are you trying to say?

I'm glad that they released a champion with high skill cap. Barely anyone knew how to play Orianna when she was released, and deemed her useless. Now, if people can master her she's incredible. I feel like Syndra is the same way. People just need to learn how to play a champion before crying that the skillset is something they haven't seen before.

People have an inherent need to feel successful at everything so when something stops them cold, a majority of people ***** and moan rather than growing the **** up.

She's not the most reliable, there is a lot of management with her skill set so every cast needs to be used with foresight. I think she'll see popularity once people get over their initial shock of not face rolling wit her.

I still don't know. She does have a high skill cap and I love that about her as well, but I think the issue is that once you get over the skill cap she still isn't someone who really pays off for it. That's the only reason I think she could use a couple number changes.

Props to wRAthoFVuLK for the beastly sig and putting up with my request XD
Hey, you should help me on acquiring Medieval Twitch!! :D

Thing is no one plays her
She is such a hassle to use that no one would enjoy using her
