30.8% win rate in both tournaments and to top it off, she had a very low KDA. Better nerf this champion clearly broken, shes not totally overrated at all.

Perhaps. But nerfing her Q's early game damage? Her early game Q damage is the least of her problems.
Nausicäa 1 votesIt was 2 tournaments. Shes fairly low priority in OGN right now as well.
Neo Cyrus1 votesHow about the years of stats then?
Neo Cyrus1 votesThey're taking away her early game lane bullying which is pretty much everything she had considering she falls off late game, which any statistics back up since her win rate goes to absolute shit the later the game is. 50 damage, what a joke, that isn't worth anywhere near the mana it costs.
Then there's the nice dump they're taking on projectile thickness, I've tested it on the PBE her damn orb goes right through the centre of champions now so unless you're the calmest man in the world you will rage when your Q -> E passes right through the middle of fucking Darius then you get shrekt, because Rito hitboxes. And they've nerfed the E width as well.
Yulen Xoshxius1 votesDanr it! She was my main too! Now I can understand the feels others feels.
Neo Cyrus1 votesDont' worry about it, you're relatively new to the game so you can easily adjust to new champions. This is what happens all the time, Riot perceive a champion as strong in competitive play (she has shit win rates in solo queue) then nerf it into oblivion because it's a mage. This is nothing new and has been going on for years.
There is strong reverse power creep in this game, every champion that existed at the time was significantly more powerful in past unless it was unviable at the time... which Syndra happens to be one of (win rates in the 30% range regularly at all Elos) but not due to raw numbers like other examples. Most her numbers were the same but she was even more glitched than she is now and had slightly shorter range on E and her passive did nothing for her ult. Yes just those small changes was the difference between her being powerful or useless.
It's pretty much tradition that if an AP champion is used mid in competitive play it will be nerfed unless its name is Fizz.
Jiberto1 votesWhy are people trying to justify game balance over 0.01% of the community? Clearly OP must be a Syndra main.
