In terms of changes, there is a lot to take in all at once. However, for a brief overview, there are a few things that League of Legends players will have to consider with the changes.

First, her passive is the key here as the Splinters of Wrath will provide a lot of power scaling to Syndra in League of Legends. Farming effectively will be crucial for her to gain the stacks.

These changes will focus towards maxing out her W first and also provide the E ability with a lot more early game viability. In fact, the developers have increased the cone angle for E in order to make it more reliable in the early levels.

Lastly, her ultimate now has an execute option similar to Pyke, where enemies below a certain health bar will die instantly as long as she collects a total of 100 Splinters of Wrath.
