Syndra is not liked by riot compared to Ahri/ Zed/Jinx and Co due to Riot doesn't play her often. She is put in the corner, that's all.
Furthermore, Syndra doesn't make enough money for Riot to get some buff or skins. Why would I buff syndra if I could buff Ahri and sell ton of skins?
"Favoritism" is the word which describe this situation.
Then, Syndra require so much work to balance her due to "Spaghetti code".
Moreover, Riot failed when they updated Syndra's kit, they betrayed their promise in adding only more balls on the field.
So, I made a passive update for Syndra, numbers have to be tweaked/ balanced but I think that could be a good direction for her.
