I do not think people truly understand how powerful Syndra is CAPABLE of becoming. On paper, if you can land your skills, you have a decent AOE slow, a strong "Karthus Like" Q which has a strong poke, a SERIOUSLY LONG RANGE AOE STUN which theoretically you can stun 5 people with, and an ultimate that only has one clear counter - Zhonyas. However, what she has in offense, she lacks in defense. She has 0 escape abilities (closest ones being the slow and the push, which are actually very useful defensively IF you can land them), no distance closers, and the biggest "flaw" is her inability to use her ult without being in range of serious damage. When people claim for her to be "clunky", it's simply because all her animations have a slight delay (sometimes travel time) to them with the exception of her E. Effectively, to master her you need to learn how to aim her skills with their internal delay, and to aim the seemingly impossible to aim 'Scatter the Weak'.
