Syndra is plainly overpowered in lane, just like Cassiopeia.

However, she needs a lot of setup to do well in team fights and that's only possible if she has a fed tank line. Solo queue isn't about tanks right now, but rather "IMACARRYTHIS" assassins in each and every lane.

The team that gets the most assassins fed, wins. Syndra is really easy to kill if she's hit by even one cc and assassins naturally counter her.

That's why here win ratio is not high. Cassio's isn't high either. Cassio can at least ult if someone jumps on her, Syndra cannot do anything with her Q on cooldown. She's just out of the meta right now.

Passive sustain and magic resistance got nerfed hard with season 3 and that's how Lux and Nidalee have gotten so powerful.
