If you're going to update Syndra's lore...

Please build upon her current lore and personality, don't just completely rewrite her or anything.

The way I've seen Syndra; is that she was born with immense power and capability to achieve greatness with her magical powers, but because Ionia (or Karma) feared her power as destructive, they sent her off to be homeschooled all her life in order to limit her powers, causing her to kill her master and live in solitude. She now resides as a super naive teenage girl with the power to blow up the universe.

I want to see more of this, such as how she felt after realizing how much everyone fears her power, and a build up on her "power hungry teenage girl" personality.

Since her lore has nothing to do with league, I don't think there's much to change. They'll elaborate on things like they did with Vi.

it seems the story of her being betrayed and going reclusive was many years ago because she doesn't look or sound teenage at all

I'd rather she'd be rebuilt into a proper 'revolutionary' leader.

Much of the core foundation of her story is pretty solid, but the 'tie in' to rest of Ionia was dropped fairly hard. She was written into a corner by living up on her floating fortress without servants, without any desire to be involved in governance or change except 'kill people who try to stop her', and possesses no relatable characteristics you'd want from a main scene character. As is, you'd expect to run into her like a run-of-the-mill raid boss, and not a sovereign ruler.

There's an interesting dynamic to be found in Ionia being tugged along by her ambitions for change, and her country potentially heading to an era of 'Imperial China', than what it is right now. And that's just skimming the surface of what her involvement would entail in Ionia, then there's what her own personal ambitions will be doing.

Though, I am hopeful her involvement is separate of this 'dark council' that's supposedly in Ionia. By the sounds of things, their goals won't align with hers in making a grander Ionia ...

Ryze didn't need his lore changed or redone either but Riot still destroyed his character in favor of the hapless nobody he now is. I'm sorry to say, but they will most likely, like 99% certain, retcon Syndra's lore.

Syndra is supposed to be a TEEN!?
