Syndra to me is one of the most well designed champions in the game, lore, visual and ability wise, and to be so underplayed because of this is sad. Funny that you listed champions like Yasuo, Kha'Zix and LeBlanc. These are among of the easiest assassins to shutdown as Syndra.

Kha'Zix can't jump on Syndra under any circumstances, Yasuo can't block Syndra's Q and W, sometimes can even get stunned. LeBlanc is simillar to Kha'Zix as she has to waste ult to close the gap or deal 0 damage and die instantly at level 6. Zed is also managable, but you know... Death Mark and sheeez.

The reason i mentioned them is because right now they are the poster childs of the hyper mobile assassins in this season 4 (note my sarcasm with LeBlanc's name xD)
