The delay on her E itself isn't large, true, but the delay on her Q sure is. Q+E is much less reliable than just E on a previously placed sphere, and the mana cost is NOT low because the only way to utilize a stun is with her other medium-high mana cost abilities.

Syndra's ult scales the same as the champion...pretty low skill floor (point-and-click is possible but not recommended), but probably THE highest skill ceiling (in range of most dangerous spells, possible to negate through intargetability, zhonyas, nearly impossible to maximize basic spell damage AND ult damage at the same time in teamfights, it's not a threat when flash is down/enemies position in the backline...etc).

Don't get me wrong; I love playing Syndra and believe you can outplay your opposition with her same as other champs, however it's also very easy to mess up with her (and as a side note, maybe never even realize you messed up), making it very possible for enemies to outplay her.
