I agree with Vistha-Kai: if there's anyone Syndra's weak against, it's not assassins. If she gets attacked at close range she can instantly peel with a Q+E combo, and follow up with a W and ultimate to easily take down squishy champions. She is, however, vulnerable to CC, and if the marksman focuses her she goes down pretty quickly. I think part of why she's not picked as much as she could be, aside from her monstrous skill requirement, is that hyper-mobile tanky champions like Vi and Renekton can easily run up to her, sustain her burst/peel and shred her while also stunlocking her, and it's these champions that tend to be picked the most at the moment.
