Syndra is actually awesome in all game phases, I main her and I go normal/ranked with her. Her Q is all-time low cd and performs awesome burst. Her W is for the funz AND carrying tibbers around (lol). Seriously, her W is awesome for popping up more balls for her ulti or for slowing some focuses, goes well with QWQEQ(R) combo. E is actually the most awesome thing about her; if chasing, QE insta stun with following QW and R if beating a carry or a fed enemy, if being chased (especially if your mates are running low AND being chased), QE still helps a whole lot IF done properly and fast. Early game she beats asses, even against her counters (fizz, akali, ahri) as you can lasthit minions from distance with your Q, stun your enemies if they perform ulti (especially akali and ahri can be annoying). After lvl 6 or so, you must play a little bit more defensive and passive on mid thought, but you always must have atleast 30% of your mana available, so better to start off with tear/morellonomicon, build rylais afterwards for some survivability, go for some kills/gank top/bot if possible, and go for rabadons.

In teamfights, combine rylais with her slow/stun and your team is in major lead afterwards, since she can go support-ish with her stun/slow aswell.

They got a fed carry? focus your full powered ult on it and it's done. for the luckers, take an ignite too.

Syndra is anything but useless/up, her damage is crazy, and getting a counterbuild against her will definitely make you lack your AP/AD/armor and get beaten by others, yet she'd STILL get use of her stun/slow.
