User blog comment:Ricoindigo/WORK IN PROGRESS : Mage update patch for Season 6/@comment-1920550-20160130203609

I think Syndra's Q is fine as is, it's the ammo for the rest of her spells, so it should be kept as a simple spell, with maybe a smaller mana cost. The W changes sound really fun though. However, i think the core thing to be changed on Syndra should be the effects she gains from her passive...aside from the fully evolved Dark Sphere, the other passive effects are negligable at best.

Her theme is untapped power, the ability to grow endlessly in power the more she uses her magic. In order for that to happen, what she needs is better effects on her passive every time she fully evolves a spell. She should be the strongest burst/control mage at level 18 by stacking her passive effects and AP.
