Gangplank vs Syndra Matchup Summary

The Gangplank vs Syndra matchup is a decisive matchup in League of Legends ranked play. Based on 5 recent matches analyzed, Gangplank wins with a 60.0% win rate compared to Syndra's 40.0%, giving Gangplank a 20.0 percentage point advantage. Game phase dynamics play a critical role here: Gangplank controls the early laning stage, but Syndra outscales as the game goes longer. The matchup shifts dramatically depending on game length — Gangplank needs to press advantages before Syndra reaches their power spikes, while Syndra should focus on safe farming and hitting key item breakpoints. The most significant statistical gap is in crowd control, where Syndra leads by 0.8s CC/min — a difference that heavily influences the outcome of trades and skirmishes. Gangplank 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.

Farming
8.0Gangplank
7.0Syndra
Gangplank significantly out-farms Syndra by 1.0 CS per minute, accumulating an estimated 15 CS lead by mid game.

Damage
910Gangplank
695Syndra
Gangplank heavily out-damages Syndra by 215 DMG/min, dominating both short trades and all-in fights. Syndra should avoid extended combat and instead focus on burst trade patterns — short engages followed by immediate disengagement — to avoid letting Gangplank's sustained damage advantage take over.
Economy
14,514Gangplank
11,857Syndra
Gangplank generates a commanding 2,657 more gold per game than Syndra. This substantial economic advantage means Gangplank consistently reaches key item breakpoints earlier, creating a compounding lead that grows throughout the game. Syndra should focus on cost-effective item choices and avoid unnecessary deaths to prevent falling further behind.
Utility
0.4Gangplank
1.2Syndra
Syndra brings significantly more crowd control than Gangplank, with 0.8 more seconds of CC per minute. This large utility gap makes Syndra far more valuable in setting up jungle ganks, controlling objectives, and locking down targets in team fights. Gangplank should invest in tenacity and position carefully to avoid being chain-CC'd.
Sustain
861Gangplank
427Syndra
Gangplank vastly out-sustains Syndra, healing and mitigating 434 more damage per minute. This massive durability gap means Gangplank can absorb significant punishment and remain in lane while Syndra is forced to recall. Building grievous wounds early is essential for Syndra, and focusing on burst trade patterns rather than sustained fights is critical.

Gangplank dominates the early game (first 15 minutes) with a commanding 100.0% win rate — a 100.0 percentage point lead over Syndra. This lopsided early game means Gangplank can dictate the pace of the lane from level 1, controlling trades, wave state, and river priority.

Syndra is far superior in the late game (25+ minutes), boasting a 66.7% win rate — 33.3 points above Gangplank. Extended games heavily favor Syndra, whose kit and scaling make them a dominant force in team fights and objective control.

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