^ what he said

Syndra rocks because she has everything you want with an ap caster:

Damage: check (if you do a full combo with only 1 q you still get 259% (q level 5) damage with a full rotation. This goes up by 89% ap for every additional q you land before your ult. Also 3/4 of her damage is AOE making it even better for team fights.)

Utility: check (ranged AOE stun that can take out their entire team after an ult or can be used 1v1 with a q, AOE ranged slow that you don't even need to use q with, and a knock back)

Escape: W and E. You don't even need a rylia's (you still might want one)

Shines late game: And early game, and mid game

Problems: high combo mana cost. You pretty much need to kill them (early game) when you try a full combo, because you will need to go b for mana. Even with an AUG you feel the mana costs.
