The reason Syndra is so good is because, while she is very difficult, she is also very rewarding. She has a high difficulty that pays off if she's played well. Her passive on her Q is amazing, same with on her E. Yes, her stun is hard to land, but that's where part of the difficulty rating of 100 comes in. IIf you can land it though, you've won. No questions asked. If you can't land her stun, all you need it practice. That's what bot games are for. I played about a dozen bot games with Syndra before I even fathomed going PvP with her. Syndra's W is hard to land, however, because of the slow it gives, it's pretty useful, plus her passive for it makes the slow more effective. E is effective for more than just running away. Yes, her E puts the target slightly out o range, but because she's got the range that she does, she doesn't need to move very far to get back in range. If you do it right, you use her E to land her stun, and then you kill them. She actually has a pretty good clear combo, Q W E and the minion wave, later game, is dead. Of course her ultimate requires set up. Syndra doesn't run herself, and I think that's why so few people play her that I've seen. You need to be able to do things with her that you don't need to worry about with other champions. That's what makes Syndra so difficult and rewarding to play. Veigar's ult has to potential to be more powerful, but it's not inherently against every champion. Use his ult on Riven, and how useful will it be compared to if you had used it on say Lux? Not very. Every champion is different for a reason, so that the game isn't the same thing over and over again every single time. Difficulty actually means something, and if you can play a high skill cap champion right, you're going to devastate. That's what I do with Syndra.
