User blog comment:Darksusanoo/(Champion Rework) Syndra, the Dark Sovereign/@comment-24036535-20150728215221

The damage buff you've given her in insane.

Without her ultimate, a Syndra with Luden's could kill most enemies using only two dark spheres. Lemme tell you, having a champion with four damaging abilities, who only needs three to kill an enemy? Isn't healthy.

The Transcendent bonus on Syndra's new Q does nothing but add a refresh to her E. Spheres already had a duration refresh on her ultimate and her W.

The Transcendent bonus on her W seems, wonky and fairly useless. I get the bounce, but it's also hard to control and wouldn't change anything about her kit, her W would still be largely ignored.

Finally, that ultimate bonus is disgustingly powerful. If she get's a reset, she has all 3-7 spheres on the field now, free to use with her next ultimate, which will get another three spheres because of her passive spheres. Meaning 6-10 spheres, or a 120-200% ratio, which in turn is easy enough to get a reset with on it's own. I see the low base damage, but the lategame monstrosity that Syndra would become is toxic af.

Her dark sphere SHOULD be weak at level one, it's how you mitigate her already oppressive lane bullying against melee champions (Try laning against Syndra as Talon, until you can kill her outirght, it's hell). Reducing her scaling on Q should be fine as a fix for this.
