For me, it is Bard. He not only embodies the lore of cosmic being that just flies around, but also his kit doesn’t ever feel overly oppressive. Whenever a bard destroys me, it feels like it is because he played well, not his champ being busted.
Let’s give the devs some love, who do you think is the best designed champ?
As a new Syndra Main, I honestly do believe that modern Syndra is perfectly designed and embodies what a Midlane Mage should be archetypal.
She has a decently weak early game, a good Midgame, and a blistering strong late game. She has built in scaling, so even if she falls behind, she can still do damage. She has self peel, combo setup and team utility in her stun combo, but it has counterpart because even at Max rank, and even with stacking CDR it has a sizeable cooldown. She he’s a decent skill floor, but massive skill ceiling, in that her combo’s and managing her W can be picked up, but the more time and effort you put in the better pilot you become.
In my opinion, she is near perfectly, of not fully perfectly designed
