A lot of mages (and some fighters) have a secondary support aspect for some level of AOE, Crowd Control, and utility buffs that can help in creating a kill lane, a harass lane, or a sustain lane. Syndra has obviously in the harass district. Why certain supports fit this role but don't get support as a secondary tag is beyond me.

Is she worth buying? Only if you can handle her. If you suffer from latency you'll want to avoid her seeing as refreshing and using the balls is a time sensitive endeavor. If you have trouble positioning you'll get into a lot of trouble playing Syndra mid. Can she carry? I'd honestly say no because you'll run into situations where you won't hit everyone with your balls and if they focus you, you won't get that set up you need to stun or even slow people and snap judgement ults make her damage output weaker than liked.

If you are looking for a strategic advantage to using Syndra I'd ask you two things that can decide how viable it is? Would Ziggs be more viable for you if his long range harass stunned every time it hit? "Is managing Orianna's ball an easy affair?" If the answer to that is yes you can find her strong against a few champs some of them high burst opponents and anti mages.
