All old weapons suffered greatly due to constant powercreep caused by release of new weapons. Unlike many of other oldies (just look at poor Flux Rifle, nothing can fix how bad it is now) Synapse can be brought to a top tier level thanks to rivens and its strong disposition. Best thing is: it will stay strong, because of unwarranted hate of  SomaPrime/WhateverIsConsideredTrendyToday fanboys (remember all those useless press-2 Rhinos with Boltors way back? It's the same mindless flock). Bandaid on cancer? Probably. Powercreep won't stop, simply because new weapons have to be better, more attractive in some way in order to motivate players into buying/crafting it. In spite of all, a bandaid fixes it enough to pull 70k DPS, there aren't many weapons that can do that.
