The low duration build made Contagion and Molt outright unusable. Some players might say that didn't matter because they were both mediocre-bad anyway, but that in essence is stating that the main reason the low duration build was the best option then is because half of her kit wasn't worth a damn. The fact that her entire ability set has value now means that building for positive duration currently is carrying more perks than building for minimum duration back then.

Also, her base stats weren't nerfed. She gained ~200 EHP (2055 now vs. 1881 before w/SF&Vitality) and 75 Power to assist with casting. Since it's not hard at all to build her with all positive stats with 2-3 defensive mods, it's plain to see that she only got better. Saryn isn't a jack of all trades now (spellsword) and never was in the past (tanky caster). But regardless, she still has no problem going to endgame just like before, so as a former Saryn main, I have no significant problems with her in her current state.
