Akali vs Syndra Matchup Summary

The Akali vs Syndra matchup is a decisive matchup in League of Legends ranked play. Based on 108 recent matches analyzed, Akali wins with a 58.3% win rate compared to Syndra's 41.7%, giving Akali a 16.7 percentage point advantage. Akali dominates at every stage — from early laning through late game team fights. This consistent advantage makes it difficult for Syndra players to find favorable windows, so team-dependent strategies and avoiding solo confrontations are essential.

Akali players can confidently pick into Syndra and play aggressively from level 1. Look to establish lane dominance early through favorable trades and zone Syndra away from CS whenever possible. Understanding these matchup dynamics is essential for champion select decisions and in-game strategy when facing this lane opponent.
