Extreme lack of mobility/escape? Yeah, join the other 20 AP mids without those.

But seriously, coming from a guy who's braved AD Sion and Mordekaiser, Syndra has very easy escapes from anything but, say, Vi (does anyone have escapes from Vi?). You've got a decently hard AOE decently long easy to land long-range slow, one of the best disengages in the game on your E, and enough damage to easily turn it around and pick up a kill at LEAST.

The meta isn't favoring 90% of the champions in this game, but why should you let that keep you from playing them? The game is winnable on all champions, and it's that way for a reason.
