Syndra, the Dark Sovereign is the next League champion to receive a mid-scope update, expected to go live on Patch 12.19
“The main goals were to keep Syndra’s core gameplay but enhance her passive to open up bigger high moments and real feelings of power upgrades” – Riot Truexy
Transcendent (P)
- Syndra collects up to 120 Spliners via damaging enemy champions and gaining levels. Splinters of Wrath enhance Syndra and her abilities
- Syndra Restores 20-215 (based on level 1-18) mana whenever she collects a Splinter from an enemy. She can gain Splinters via:
- Damaging an enemy champion with 2 Abilities within 4 seconds grants (1/2/3 at levels 1, 11 and 18) Splinters (8s CD per target)
- Leveling up grants Syndra 5 SPlinters of Wrath
- Killing a Cannon minion grants 1 Splinters of Wrath
- At 120 Splinters Syndra gains 15% total AP
- Ability icons also change with upgrade

The most apparent changes are a rework to her passive, gaining massive boost after collecting Splinters from the enemies and the insane below 15% hp execute on her ultimate.
These buffs will hopefully revitalize the midlaner, currently sitting at a meager 47.9% winrate globally at Platinum+ according to op.gg in Patch 12.17
The update also comes with a new Spirit Blossom skin for Syndra to coincide with Spirit Blossom event’s return.
The mid-scope update is live on League PBE client along with the anticipated return of URF mode for Spirit Blossom 2022
