I'm sorry but you are very uninformed. Her lane phase is very strong and in team fights she has "POTENTIAL", that is assuming their team doesn't fall in and try to nuke you first. She is a mid laner who really does not want to be caught alone, she can't do 2 v 1's very easily. I do agree when you cast ult and try to move before the spell animations has finished she can feel clunky; I seem to get get some kind of pathing or character shake. Any way after learning her abilities and spell ranges her abilities become very smooth and easy to use.

The biggest issues for Syndra is mana control. Syndra can be very spam happy and flow between spells to deal damage but it is costly and some times you have to weigh out positives and negatives. For example do you place a Q beneath your opponents feet and try and get in position to stun them, this method deals more damage and stuns, however landing the stun is tricky because once you have hurt them your opponent will move and it will be harder to position for the stun as you need to move closer.

Another reason she is "BAD" or not played is that she has no proper escape, as in no proper gank deterrant such as a kat shunpo. You have your stun but you may not always be able to get it prepared in time. Literally people need to learn to play her more that is all.

She is played by some high elo players. Phantomlord, Bjergsen and I'm 80% sure Link also plays her. I wouldn't discredit her just yet. However she has a high skill cap and think she requires a lot of skill and practice to use effectively (if you don't learn her, she will feel very weak).

Hope this wall of text is helpful some how.
