How can I deal with Syndra? This champion is just absolutely annoying and is the only one that I have never won against, as Swain, and the only one who made me lose my lane hard. She just use her Dark Spheres to damage me all day and if I try to get close to her she just stuns me, and she nukes me so that I can't heal with ult.

That's why I fear picking Swain for mid-lane, if they pick Syndra, I am sure that I will be utterly raped. Actually, that's why I prefer to use Swain at top lane. At mid lane there is a high risk that Swain will be countered with a mage that outranges him and kite him. But at top lane, Swain can bully most champions since Swain excels at bullying melee or short-ranged champions. I have much more success with him at top than at mid.
