Based on 13 recent matches analyzed, Syndra wins with a 84.6% win rate compared to Garen's 15.4%, giving Syndra a 69.2 percentage point advantage. Game phase dynamics play a critical role here: Garen controls the early laning stage, but Syndra outscales as the game goes longer.

Syndra has a strong advantage in this matchup.
