Syndra is weaker than cannon minion

I wrote discussion after discussion on this topic, but i wont quit until some of those smartass boys from live design and balance team respond. Why is it that a champion is left in the trash can for more than a year. New runes hit her. Stat changes when new runes came hit her. New champions hit her> she is squishy with skillshots very easy to avoid when everyone has 3 mobility spells. AP items change hit her. She cant get lost chapter before she hits 6 so her level 6 is actually useless now. And because she can no longer snowball the lane EVER. She gets outscaled by cannon minions at maybe 20 minutes into the game. Everyone has better scaling than she has. Everyone is tankier with more utility than she is. Everyone has skills easier to land. She needs like 10 buffs and a rework to her passive and even than she would lose half of the laning phases to more than half midlaners simply because half of the game counters her. every champion that builds item 3053 can survive her at every stage of the game. Buying item 3111 counters her more than any other champ. She dies if you sneeze near her. Damage reductions. Blocking spells. Going untargetable. Zhonya's. Shields. Barier as summoner spell. Exhaust as summoner spell. Everything counters her. She counters no one. Except maybe some dumbass who facecheckes the fog of war with 1500k and no resistances at 30 minutes into the game and dies to her ult then goes crying that its OP. Think again. Think Veigar. Think Velqoz. Think Lux. Neeko. Zoe Q does more than Syndra's ult. Zyra does more in an AOE. Karthus oneshots half of your team from across the map. But Syndra remains fine with no pickrate and laughable winrate.

Funny, I've never seen a canon minion oneshot someone.

Syndra is fine, not strong, but also not weak. You need to learn to play her better.

Syndra can pick up and throw cannon minions. How are they stronger than her?

Everyone is. Deleting people in .3s is what the game is all about now.

I was hoping this would have some raw numbers proving Syndra is indeed less useful when not fed (or whatever state she's in at X mins >60% of games)

Do cannons have more range and tower dmg than she does?(Shes not buying Lich Bane so maybe. Why are towers Phylacteries?) Are cannon minions harder to kill than Syndra to certain champs (namely, tanks or other mages.)

its mostly due to nerfs to her ult and q back then. also the w changes she had weren't enough to compensate.
