1 - are you serious by saying that syndra stun is better than viktor ? well viktor stun doesnt counter itself like syndra by knocking back your stunned target - making the stun less effective overall by forcing you and your team mates to walk to the stunned target thus giving you and your team a possible disadvantage in positioning and making your ulti harder and riskier to cast while viktor stun slows and stuns them for a total amount of 4.5 sec which keeps them in place for most of your ulti duration

2 - in annies example i didnt count the attack damage of the bear - just the aura - as if you want to count that than the bear needs only a couple of hits to outdamage syndra ulti while its safer and have way less setup time unlike syndra - getting 6 balls out and finding the perfect window to cast ulti without detting dunked while they still up is hard enough against any decent team -.

3 - syndra ulti is a delayed one not only because of the cast and hit time of the balls but also because it depends on q rotation as without it along with its short range and nothing else to offer other than damage its clearly way less effective most mages ulties
