Alright after looking through some champs I've decided to play Syndra.
Coming from more AD mid type champions like Zed and Riven recently, what can I expect to struggle with as her.
Generally as Mid I like to play aggressively and take out the outer turret before really roaming around too much. Any tactics on how to do this w/Syndra?
you should have just asked for general tips, there's nothing that can be said for an individual champion
she has a lot of burst, if you're winning lane you should be able to force them back to base frequently once you have dfg
besides that just keep everything warded?
either way i think for the most part it's way more efficient to roam early on if your enemy is b than it is to take the tower out so you can secure kills for other lanes

TL;DR Don't miss your skillshots.
With Syndra, what you want to do is abuse your early game. Consider Syndra like an AP version of Pantheon. Her Q has really low cooldown and assuming you land them, you can chunk your opponent really fast. If you're against ranged mid, just trade damages and land your Q's, because 98% of the time you will win the trade. Against melee mids, simple. Just AA harass and when they try to cs, punish them with your combos.
You should also try roaming once you hit 6, not after the tower is down. You have a huge power spike, go and abuse it.

Full AD comps are so annoying, I'm probably going to dodge the next one i get placed in. After 30 minutes you can't really touch anything since they stack so much armor and hp, luckily at 40 minutes with jarvan lastwhisper and blackcleaver they start melting again and the lategame push takes like 30 seconds for 4 turrets and an inhib. Even though i won it was entirely too much work lol
Probably wouldn't have been so bad if our midlane/support didn't go a whopping 4/20
And for anyone who cares.

You, the midlane, and the support all share the same KDA of around 1.8, can't really blame them when you performed the same.
Also what Kyishi said, although if you want an AP sieger I'd go ziggs.

I decided to pick up Azir yesterday, it's been going pretty well so far.
http://puu.sh/duG02/7d247dbbc8.jpg
7-0 with him right now. If it keeps going this well I might have to pull him out in ranked...haven't played much ranked recently because my Fizz gets banned every game and Kha'zix mid is just too risky now (those are the only 2 champs I consistently win on) since everyone is taking AD champs top. Used to be better when Maokai was picked every single game. Azir is also really fun to play. I thought he would be harder, but controlling the soldiers isn't too bad. The biggest issue is I always want to use his ult aggressively, but it has a pretty short range so you have to be right on top of them to actually do the damage.

Since a huge majority of his bugs have been fixed/buffs here and there i think he's going to dethrone or give orianna a run for her money for best cotroller/zoner midlane in competitive play, he's less utility, but he's such a strong zoner and sieger and his lategame damage is completely retarded

Another thing that's really underestimated is his tower-taking abilities. His soldiers have a 4.8 second recharge time by mid game, and instead of spawning a soldier you can just use it on turret to instantly do 300-400 damage to it. At level 10-12 if you kill the enemy mid laner you can almost get both mid turrets before they get back, and if you get ganked just set up your own turret on their first. It's an insane boost of map control and global gold for your team.
EDIT: They do 850+ damage instantly to turret with a full build, not including the +15% bonus from dragon buff. You can tak out a full lane of turrets in less than 30s late game as Azir.

^ One hour game lol. Congratulations!
I've been doing Rammus Top and Rammus ADC. Needless to say, I've been winning a lot of games. Early game, I just bully/farm depending on the match up, but when laning ends, holy shit. I just roam around their jungle waiting for someone squishy to show up by themselves and add 300 more gold to my coffers. Late game I can dive the enemy team, kill their ADC, and get out alive all by myself. <3

3 people ff'd the second it hit 20 minutes and my potential 30/2 game went down the toilet.
