the reason i see her viable as a counter to cass is because

1) She can move while casting q. so she can simultanously hit cass and dodge cass q, which can allow her to win trades.

2) If she dodges cass ult, which she should be able to since she can move while casting, She can use scatter the weak to disengage. This is important becase if cass cannot deal dmg during her ult, she will be in danger.

3) Syndra delays cassiopeia powerspikes too hard. Cass is forced to builds abyssal + merc + rylai / roa + Seraph probably with seraph being the last item, because if she prefers a more ham build (like it is popular today) there wont be anything keeping syndra from onehotting her with 5 ball r into e (guaranteed stun) into qw. So against syndra cass cannot become a mid game threat she is against other picks.

4) Post lvl 6 Syndra can bully cass pretty hard because cass is extremely squishy. Even if a jungler camps her (and in soloq thats nto very liekly since other lanes will rage in that case) Cass should still be afraid of the possiblity of flash combo if there are 6 balls inside the lane.

Syndra is not a big deal is a very vague statement, but she is strong. Im not saying op, but she is strong. Her problem in soloq is that she is too hard to use for most of the players, since she is one of the hardest champs to position with. Her problem in competitive play is that syndra needs a team built around her, and needs the mid laner to be experienced with her so there is no way of sneaking a last pick syndra as a surprise as opposed to ad varus per se. But if you can play her well in soloq she is strong in mid lane.
