Playing against Syndra
How to counter and exploit weaknesses
Avoid standing in line with her spheres: her E pushes them and stuns everything they pass through.
Syndra is immobile: assassins and gap-closers punish her easily.
Her R is targeted and cannot be dodged — buy MR and HP to survive, or Banshee's Veil to block it.
In the early game, her mana is limited: force her to spam her spells and she'll run out quickly.
