The thing about Syndra is her strange mix between damage and utility that makes her feel UP. But she has amazing potential if her abilities are chained right. I think the issue with her is basically what you said - her learning curve is steeper than others. If you chain your abilities right, you'll deal tons of damage. However, if you fail to do so, you'll end up not doing much in a battle.
