In my opinion her playstyle is really unfun to play against. She rushes Morello spams Q in lane (literally anywhere) and then one she hits a stun on you, you will actually die. I don't know if this was the intended playstyle, but it's very frequent in my games and it's getting annoying to play against.

Congratulations, you've just described ever mage in MOBA's. Honestly, why people think this concept only applies to Syndra alone I have no clue, she just kills you a bit faster is all.
LegacyDAP1 votesThe problem is that it's extremely easy to land and the hitboxes are wonky and along with its insane range. You can also easily set it up by being able to spam balls in lane (once again literally anywhere) ulting your target and then E'ing because you can't dodge 7 stuns in different directions.

She is one of those high-skill-ceiling no-skill-floor champions that anyone can carry with by mashing their face against their keyboard (like riven).
Typically a bad syndra is very predictable and easy to cooldown bait, and knowing her cooldowns is your best weapon against her. I beat a syndra recently playing sona, of all things, just by baiting and dodging scatter the weak.

Yeah she's so much fun to play against.
MohawkBird1 votesUhh it doesn't take a genius to realize she doesn't hit for 600 damage at level 6.
AIQ1 votesSyndra is extremely hard to play effectively at higher levels and requires a lot of dedication. Think not to long ago the MYMU happened and everyone thought Syndra was trash. People not only learned her, but also some of the really OPs were tuned down so in pro play she was a heavy contender. Now that assassins and other counters to her both in mid and the jung are more prominent, she now sits as not a must ban, but as strong pick. Her play style is also realistic in the sense that early/mid she is strong and falls off late (granted people build MR). So I think a small shift of power in her early ult would be good and to put it in like her E W Q so that she must land a skill shot to deal the same damage, but nothing drastic like a DPS nerf.
