Very hard counter. with E dodging all your moves. you should be asking for ganks when his E is down.
Ekko
He can dash through your E to get to you. Uses his ult to negate your ult. Again, ask for your jg for help.
Yasuo
Ok....ok. Just ban him. I prefer to have fizz on the lane. I found Yasuo to be completely aggravating to deal with. Baiting his wind wall is extremely hard since your E animation isn't fast.
Vladimir
What am I supposed to say about Vlad? He is like the others. He can dodge EVERY TRADE, with his W. If you manage to beat him with help in the early game. Then in the late game will be healed like a *****. Even if you get an anti heal, he's gonna kill you anyway. Ban him.
Kassadin
I forgot that ****. You might have a really good early game but it just takes one null mantle to make you irrelevant. He will kill you on level 6.
Zed
Bit him before level 6. Always make sure you save your E for when he wants to get close to you/ult you.
Katarina
Take advantage. Kata sacks on early game. Find out how she plays . Take level 2 and 3 first. Poc her. Remember, that when Kata losing her lane, by 99,9% roaming.
Diana
It's my favorite champion, but not when I'm playing Syndra. She is pushing very fast cause of her passive. There is your chance. Try to poc her. But be careful one full combo from her on level 3 and you'll be half hp and less. It's a melee champion with very high bruiser stats. For some others is tiny threat if they avoid her Q easily. But personally, i can't so much easily.
Talon
I don't know if i have to put him here, or one step down. It's easy for him to push the lane. Stay away from his Q range and you'll be able to poke him out throughout the whole laning phase. Also, be careful his passive. Make sure you only use your E if you know you're going to hit him otherwise you. Oh and be careful when he roams.
Azir
Both have long range, the only problem is that Azir has the mobility with his E-Q combo ( if isn't lvl 7 one trick ponny, then can't do it XD ). I'd recommend playing as aggro as possible early before his 6. Call for ganks if needed.
Vel'Koz
The Octopus. So, just a boring match-up and more of a team fight dependent match up. Super boring. Make sure you save your E for when you think he'll use R since this will take him out of it. Becarful the knock up.
Orianna
No one doesn't know how to play Orianna. Everyone plays Yasuo. XD. Tricky match if you find an Orianna main since she has long range and a shield to protect her from your burst. Ask for help and god luck.
Neeko
Don't let her hit her enhanced root on you and try your best to not get caught in her ult, otherwise, you'll need to flash to not die.
Irelia
Ping all the time your jg if you died from Irellia XD. You can win if you dont push very much and if she can take her passive.
Xerath
Hard match up, im not gonna lie. He has a long Q and you have to predict it. His passive gives mana return, killing minions. Make sure that, he will miss the W and kill him. Also, he can't press R near you, cause you will cancel it. If he does it, then make a full combo and finish him with your R.
Viktor
Not easy, nor hard. Make sure to Q him when his Q is down, so he doesn't negate your damage. Using Q-E when he decides to walk up to you to Q/E you and trade with him efficiently, make sure he doesn't get both Q's and his E off on you otherwise he will wins trades.
Yone
It depends if he knows how to play. When he E in just counter him with the Q+E combo or just E him away. He won't be able to get any damage off. Poke him throughout the whole laning phase too. When he hits 6, save your E for when he uses R since he can teleport through your E.
Akali
Very easy to poke in lane, whenever you get the chance, always make sure you're behind minions too then she'll never be able to hit her E. After level 9 you'll think you can kill her, but she'll always live for 10 hp. Make sure that you press ignite, and go the 2nd option Tank build.
Ahri
Pretty easy since you outrange her in the early game, once she hits level 6 though. If she is one trick ponny, main ahri then knows how to win you. Also if cant hit her and you look afraid, you'll be dead on level 3 - 4. Then make sure you ( building the ***** build ) always save your E for when she decides to go aggro on you (dashing)
Galio
50 - 50 situation. It's another Ap counter. All he really needs to do is survive the lane phase to impact sides/team fights. Syndra still does very well into this match-up since you have the anti-engage with E, but you'll need to play team fights better.
Zoe
Its very strong, but winnable. Again 50 - 50 situation. Just don't get hit by her sleepy bubble and make sure you hit your Q - E combo. Whoever gets their CC off wins basically.
Sylas
Poke him as much as possible. Never let him get to W range since he'll be able to heal off of you. Buy anti-heal and go for the 2nd option build again.
Aurelion Sol
Try to avoid the trades. Poke him as much as possible in lane.If he attempts to fly at your with his stun, just E him away. You get out-rotated and he's kind of really tanky. It's not like he'll kill you though.
Lux
WTF RIOT. Nerf this ****. She has 22 sec cooldown with R and 500 damage on level 6. Anyway. If she's playing with barrier, make sure that she used it (also make sure that she doesn't has neither W), and wait until her shield is down before deciding to burst her. Then, FLASH FOR THE ****ING KILL. AND MAKE SURE THAT YOU PRESS IGNITE ALSO, THAT THINK MIGHTY HAS W AGAIN.
LeBlanc
LeBlanc has mobility and excessive damage., if she does succeed a full combo. Try to avoid her E.
Anivia
So, the bird. Dodge her Q and you'll win. The reverse is also the same. When she has her passive just ask for help from you jg and then, you can kill her easily.
Lissandra
There I would suggest you take Zhonya's or Babshee's Veil. Just annoying to play against since she can circumvent your ult, but you will win early. Don't get poked out with her Q splash and make sure to bait her ult, so you don't end up ulting her R.
Malzahar
Just make sure that he doesn't have his passive. You can get rid of his passive shield with your Q. You can pre E -Q combo when malzahar goes to ult you and it will cancel his ult completely
Swain
Dodge his E and you'll win this match-up easily since his Q is short-range. Poke him and press ignite so he doesn't heal when he goes into his ult form.
Veigar
Ahhh... The tiny guy. Veigar is looking to scale so we want to punish him early. Don't let him stacks. RUN HIM LIKE THRE'S NO TOMORROW.
Akshan
Personally, makes me want to smash his face, like the tiny guy. Run him all the time. You out range him and can push him away with your E if he attempts to get near you. Becareful his W.
Qiyana
Very ez. Again, if she is one trick ponny, main Qiyana ONLY then she know that to do. Well, if you find one, don't panic. You got him. 90% of the time he'll get first strike. You have to take it away from him to make him useless. Don't let her fall on you and always save your E for the moment she tries it.
Vex
Again, not hard of a match since you can actually deny her R with you E. SAVE YOUR E SPECIFICALLY FOR THIS. try to avoid any of her abilities when she has her fear passive.
Ryze
It's just he builds a lot of HP and magic resist making your damage fall off. Should be in our favor because of rotations and early game presence.
Cassiopeia
Personally, I don't have many matches against Cassio. I think is like Ryze, a short-range mage. The olny ''problem'' is her Q. If hit you, make sure to use your E to push her away.
Annie
Just watch out for her level 6 flash R combo, make sure to save your E for this.
Twisted Fate
Very easy lane, You can dodge his Q and constantly harass him, poke him. Save your E for when he decides to pull out his gold card, so he can't get near you.
Heimerdinger
Tiny little ****... Syndra is basically the biggest counter to Heimerdinger since you can pick up his turrets with your W. Constantly poke him with Q as well. Easy win.
Ziggs
Dodge all of his Q and try all your Q. Make sure you play as aggressively as possible if he isn't able to hit his skill shots.
Jarvan IV
The best combo. No words. Just imagine Jarvan coming level 6 on your lane.
Jax
Helicopter, helicopter.
Warwick
If you can't kill your enemy, he will do it.
Synergies
IdealStrongOkLowNone
Jarvan IV
The best combo. No words. Just imagine Jarvan coming level 6 on your lane.
Electrocute = lot of damage on early game, but still gives you a preaty good late game damage. So the Electrocute is the best - recommended rune. I'm running Taste of Blood, but you could go Cheap Shot IF you were REALLY sure you weren't going to take any damage in the laning phase. The Ultimate Hunter is very valuable to secure the kills. But otherwise you can run Treasure Hunter. That will gives you 570 gold.
For your secondaries runes is really good the Transcendence or Absolute Focus ALWAYS with the Gathering Storm
* Don't take Manaflow Band. Syndra after the rework uses a lot less mana.
** Don't take Scorch. It's really difficult to proc Scorch on cooldown, cause are a lot longer than before. Now looks like short burst trades.
For the Sorcery runes you can actually run Summon Aery, Arcane Comet, or Phase Rush. They all have different use cases. I think that is inferior from the last two pages. So Summon Aery used against for a pretty strong melee champion, cause you can proc it a lot and it's a sure hit as opposed with Arcane Comet.
Now,if you play with Summon Aery than probably want to combine it with Scorch.
But the thing is, you just really can't proc as often as you would like. You're really leaning into that early game. As secondary you ll be taking Magical Footwear and Cosmic Insight
If you have a heavy melee or a tank play with Phase Rush.
JUST A FEW THINGS
At the beginning I didn't understand why I had to maximize W first. The more I played, the more I understood Champion. So I have this to say. If you re beginer, then max E fist. When you're sure you're getting W with great accuracy, then start maxing W.
Your first 40 stacks of Transcendent by level 7 (8 definitely) if you've been doing decent in the lane. This'll be your first power spike, which guarantees an easy all-in if you hit all your abilities
Normally, around the 12-15 minute mark, you will most like hit your next power spike being your evolved W from Transcendent. (I personally do the opposite. I'm getting E Scatter the Weak). Just make sure that you have Luden's Tempest or Liandry's Torment will be your next spike around the 10-13 minutes.
Syndra is not a good split pusher and should never be in a lane by herself farming. It's ok to go to lanes to pick up big waves though. Syndra strengths are, getting picks, objective control, and sieging due to her Scatter the Weak being a powerful zoning tool.
Your evolved E aka Scatter the Weak from Transcendent should be around the 16-18 minute mark. This will now apply a slow after a successful hit, this should help with the Unleashed Power + Scatter the Weak combo in team fights. (As I said earlier, I've already done it, so at this point, I take W Force of Will).
Around the 20-minute mark, you should have your next Transcendent upgrade, which will be your most broken one, Unleashed Power. You now have an execute on this ability when the target hits 15% total hp or less whilst the balls are hitting their face.
Your next power spike will be getting your 3rd item, Rabadon's Deathcap or Void Staff around the level 16 mark. Huge damage boost! If you look at my personal build, you will see that I'm taking Void Staff first, as 2nd item and then Rabadon's Deathcap as 3rd item. I just like it that way.
Your last power spike should be by the 25-minute mark. You gain an extra 15% AP
from 120 stacks of Transcendent.
Also, at this point, you can easily one-shot a squishy enemy with your basic combo Dark Sphere + Scatter the Weak + Force of Will. You can still try to one-shot a carry with a full combo or, even down them to low health, which will then force them back to base and you'll be able to force objectives as a 5v4.
Again, your main tool is Scatter the Weak so use it with caution. If you think someone will get onto one of your carries, use it to disengage. If you think you've got a good initiation comp, use it aggressively.
Thank you for your attention. if I have forgotten something tell me in the comments and I will add it in a future update
