Galio vs Syndra Matchup Summary

The Galio vs Syndra matchup is a very close matchup in League of Legends ranked play. Based on 73 recent matches analyzed, Galio wins with a 51.4% win rate compared to Syndra's 48.6%, giving Galio a 2.8 percentage point advantage. Game phase dynamics play a critical role here: Syndra controls the early laning stage, but Galio outscales as the game goes longer. The matchup shifts dramatically depending on game length — Syndra needs to press advantages before Galio reaches their power spikes, while Galio should focus on safe farming and hitting key item breakpoints. The most significant statistical gap is in sustain, where Galio leads by 1,268 HP/min — a difference that heavily influences the outcome of trades and skirmishes. Galio has a statistical edge, but the margin is close enough that respecting Syndra's strengths is important. Trade when cooldowns are favorable, track the enemy jungler, and build toward your strongest item spikes to convert the slight advantage into a decisive lead. Understanding these matchup dynamics is essential for champion select decisions and in-game strategy when facing this lane opponent.

Syndra late game win rateSyndra44.7%

Syndra dominates the early game (first 15 minutes) with a commanding 52.9% win rate — a 5.9 percentage point lead over Galio. This lopsided early game means Syndra can dictate the pace of the lane from level 1, controlling trades, wave state, and river priority.

Galio is far superior in the late game (25+ minutes), boasting a 55.3% win rate — 10.5 points above Syndra. Extended games heavily favor Galio, whose kit and scaling make them a dominant force in team fights and objective control.

This matchup features a dramatic power shift: Syndra must aggressively press their early advantage and close out the game before Galio reaches their scaling breakpoints. If Galio 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.
