I've seen quite a lot of your posts lately and they all seem to take the same kind of tone, Ink. :/

Some counter points I will raise:

Dodging any of her skillshots except for W is either inconsequential or really fracking hard. Q has a generous AoE and a low cooldown so avoiding it means little in the long run E comes out much too fast to dodge unless you are expecting it (and if you're close enough for her to put a sphere on top of you, you physically cannot dodge it).

Syndra is not just an early game champ and she never falls off at any point in the game. In laning phase she's a massive bully, in midgame she can demolish all but the tankiest of champions in a single combo and lategame she can churn out miniature Sona ults every 18s combined with high sustained and burst damage.

You don't even need to be low to be at risk - I recall a Viktor game where I played against one. She opened with QE to stun me at max range, wandered a little bit closer, followed up with W, Ignite and R and 100-0'd me from near-full health before the stun wore off. She had exactly two AP items in the form of Fiendish Codex and a Doran's Ring and this was after I'd rushed Chalice for its extra MR. That's not even close to particularly fed.

Her only weaknesses in lane short of having no sustain (which can be remedied with a Flask start) are ganks and certain long-range mages who can afford to farm from range and can match her pushing power.
