Akshan vs Syndra Matchup Summary

The Akshan vs Syndra matchup is a very close matchup in League of Legends ranked play. Based on 69 recent matches analyzed, Syndra wins with a 50.7% win rate compared to Akshan's 49.3%, giving Syndra a 1.4 percentage point advantage. Game phase dynamics play a critical role here: Syndra controls the early laning stage, but Akshan outscales as the game goes longer. The matchup shifts dramatically depending on game length — Syndra needs to press advantages before Akshan reaches their power spikes, while Akshan should focus on safe farming and hitting key item breakpoints. The most significant statistical gap is in crowd control, where Syndra leads by 1.1s CC/min — a difference that heavily influences the outcome of trades and skirmishes. While Syndra is slightly favored, Akshan can absolutely win this lane through smart trading patterns and wave management. Focus on playing around your cooldowns, conceding CS only when necessary, and capitalizing on Syndra's mistakes. Understanding these matchup dynamics is essential for champion select decisions and in-game strategy when facing this lane opponent.

Syndra dominates the early game (first 15 minutes) with a commanding 55.6% win rate — a 11.1 percentage point lead over Akshan. This lopsided early game means Syndra can dictate the pace of the lane from level 1, controlling trades, wave state, and river priority.

In the late game (25+ minutes), Akshan takes over with a 52.4% win rate, leading Syndra by 4.8 percentage points. Akshan scales more effectively into team fights and objective contests.

This matchup features a dramatic power shift: Syndra must aggressively press their early advantage and close out the game before Akshan reaches their scaling breakpoints. If Akshan survives the laning phase without falling too far behind, the matchup flips in their favor. Dragon and Rift Herald control are pivotal — the team that secures early objectives can snowball or buy time to scale.
