Is Syndra worth getting?

[quote=GrandmasterD][quote=Lugignaf] She's borderline OP. [/quote] Got to say, you did made me laugh so that's a good thing right? [[Syndra]] is not OP, not in the slightest but about every [s]bad[/s] player thinks that a champion with a lot of damage must be broken as shit. [[Syndra]] lacks mobility and has limited utility. Her stun is alright but it's less reliable than most stuns and even more so as a multi-target stun. Her lack of mobility is probably breaks her in this meta and gives her absolutely zero answers to assassins like [[Ahri]], [[Fizz]], [[Zed]] and [[Kassadin]]. Granted the last two should be banned every single freaking game but I thought I'd mention them anyway. Next stop: damage. [[Syndra]]'s damage is high, I'll give you that but it's not actually off the charts. Sure her level 6 single-target damage is one of the highest; it's not a feature I'd like to base my champion pick on. Her Q and W have comparable base damage and scalings to most mages, her E practically deals no damage at all and her ult actually has a pretty poor scaling. Ranging from 60%-140% and I should actually make that 120% because 7 spheres is really hard to do, especially in a clutch situation. The base damage is pretty high, but that's it. Now, her range. Her range is pretty meh. The only skill that has really decent range is W and that's it. Your main skills, Q and R, have shit range and that, combined with her zero mobility, is the entire issue. Syndra is like Veigar with boobs; most champions fuck her up with mobility (e.g. [[Ahri]], [[Fizz]]) and the ones that don't, fuck her up with range (e.g. [[Xerath]], [[Lux]]).[/quote]

[quote=MyBloodisBlack]Id wait until she is on a free week and if you like then by all means buy her[/quote]

[quote=tehAsian]The only reason why she isn't considered broken is because of the meta, which favors utility mids over damage. Otherwise, she's pretty good imho. That high range AoE 1.5s stun is really strong, especially in jungle fights. She's free this week. Try her.[/quote]

AoE will always trump single-target imo.[/quote]

[quote=OTGBionicArm]She's got decent-ish AoE, but yea I agree [[Xerath]] ftw.[/quote]

[quote=Shikaka]From what I seen of Syndra, she is a very good champion to play as if you are willing to put the effort in to learn her :) I have been up against her and she has been a pain to beat once she gets going in my honest opinion :)[/quote]

[quote=Satella]The most devastating thing with Syndra is that if she decides to ult before using E, your whole team might as well be stunned.[/quote]

[/quote] Too bad her ult has such crappy range for that. Also comparable initiates like [[Sona]] with [[Flash]] + [[Crescendo]] are just more reliable.[/quote]

[quote=ericnx]Syndra's combos are deadly + high burst. Worth getting.[/quote]
