I really hope it doesn't happen since she's more of that single target burst champion such as and. The different thing tho is that unlike those 2 she can demolish anyone and does more aoe damage since only her ult is single target. In laning phase she can be outplayed by long range mids and mobile assassins. Awesome CC? Well it definetely isn't bad, but it's not as easily applied as other stuff like Annie's Pyromania or Zyra's Vine Lasher's insane slow. The stun takes some skill to land, knockback is rarely used as knockback, slow depends on where the enemy is since the further you cast the harder to land. Damage and burst on ult might be insane, but it's single target, not area of effect. Syndra's only utility is her spammable slow from Force of Will and the AoE stun especially if people do the R E combo. Syndra has 2 paths: The bursty assassin or the utility one. The burst assassin emphasizes on dealing massive single target burst to targets she catches, while the utility one aims to use the ultimate and stun as many people while re-applying the slow as much as possible, she usually builds items like Rylais and builds sufficient mana and CDR so she can spam her spells like crazy.
