Talk:Syndra/@comment-26808509-20170730174840

Because all these tanks with Abyssal Mask, Spirit Visage and Adaptive Helm and the current midlane meta that favors AD Assassins who can build Hexdrinker I feel like Syndra became pretty weak. Not because of the nerfes but simply because of the meta shift. I mean, her poke is just meh, her DPS not enough and her disruptive tool and catch potential is also her only safety while having a pretty high cooldown. The real core of Syndra allways was her damage and being able to oneshot on of the enemiy carries but because of these huge frontlines she rarely comes near to them and if she does they either have hexdrinker or are getting safed by a 800+ Solari shield.

At the moment I don't really see a reason to pick her over say Lux or Orianna and that's kinda sad. Especially because they are allready nerfing her on the PBE again. Like...she isn't dominant in the midlane right now. In competetive she might be part of the midlane meta but she won't remain there with how the meta is in the moment and these nerfs will throw her into a hole she won't be able to get out any time  soon.
