That's not particularly fair to compare that burst to Lux or Orianna though. Syndra has a giant single target nuke, while their ults deal aoe damage; plus they have a wider range of utility. Ori has a much easier time initiating between aoe speed boost, shield, and her ult; while lux has her greater range, no strings attached CC, and aoe shielding.

Syndra's problem is that while she's good at things, its hard to conceive a greater strategy that incorporates these things to fit her into particular team comps. I may also be that certain other ap mids are too good at the moment and that ap burst itemization or scaling general is lacking.
