I'm Saryn user, and I do mod my Saryn around her 4th skill. But I agree with you, Saryn needs some kind of rebalanced. Lemme give explanation on why : Her 4th skill is spamable with maxed Strength/Efficiency + Rage build. With this, all her other 3 skills will be much worthless (Except if one is using Regenerative Molt). Now, if we want to make her other 3 skills useful, then her 4th skill will be worthless for high level enemy. If we want to maximize the usability of her 1-2-3 skill, that will makes Saryn more of a supportive role (assuming someone put all Augment mods for her and also increasing power duration), as she can give support with her 1st to all teammates, she could defend herself and healing at the same time, she could also create "almost infinite" numbers of 1st skill spore, and with 3rd augment mods could create small poison AoE after melee kills. Even this, her 1st skill is not so much damaging for high level enemy (also, managing the spores is not easy task... especially if other teammates decides to kill the first spore target head-on, without popping the spores), and her 3rd AoE augment will not do much in high level wave. I have tested this build playing as supporting role, she is fine with Regen Molt - heals pretty good too, I could give poison buff for my teammates, but her spore is still not that quite good damaging for semi-CC skill, as well as her 4th is mediocre at around 1.5k - 2k damage (compared to maximized 4th skill - as suggested in the page above - at 13k in total. Also, easily spammable with regen molt + rage mod).

With ilustration above, it's either playing supporting role for Saryn with less capability for CC skill into high level (in even higher game, I believe her usefull skill will be only Venom Dose for supporting allies and Regen Molt for her defensive capabilites) or playing offensive Saryn with huge damage CC skill and totally unable to fully use her other 3 skills (except for Regen Molt).

I can't blame someone if they too using Saryn with maximized 4th skill, as it's the only viable options to go for high level content. And not all people wanted to be in the supporting role department. This also mixed with people who wants to solo farm fast, they inadvertly have to build Saryn for 4th CC skill to farm faster. Can't be blamed. If you want to "blame" someone, bring it on DE. They need to do something about it. As long as it doesn't nerf the overall Saryn capabilities, I'm fine. If they did nerf her overall capabilites however, my said is that to keep it this way.
