Is syndra a viable champ?

Every champion is viable in the right hands.. (Syndra is especially viable)

The buffs they gave her made her so much easier to play honestly. She's a lot more starter friendly than she used to be.

Her win rate is poop, but she's a lot like LB in that sense. She's very hard to learn, harder to master, but the payoff is extremely high. I play a bit of Syndra, and honestly people see her so little anymore that they don't know how to fight her. Plus with the recent passive change she is a bit easier to learn. I like to think of her as a less safe, but burstier Ahri. She can 1 shot people with less items than Ahri, but Ahri has the mobility with ult and q to kite.

Syndra main here ^_^

Short answer is yes, in the right hands and a little practice you can stomp lane phase and really help your team out with Q+E (stunning multiple enemies and peeling).

Long answer.... Meh. To be honest i play her because her kit is very fun and i love every aspect of her. But I'd argue that she was much better before the mage rework and is even worse now. She definitly got one of, if not the worst update, during the mid year mage update. If she got a little love she could be top tier no problem.
