Kayle vs Syndra Matchup Summary

The Kayle vs Syndra matchup is a decisive matchup in League of Legends ranked play. Based on 26 recent matches analyzed, Syndra wins with a 57.7% win rate compared to Kayle's 42.3%, giving Syndra a 15.4 percentage point advantage. Game phase dynamics play a critical role here: Syndra controls the early laning stage, but Kayle outscales as the game goes longer. The matchup shifts dramatically depending on game length — Syndra needs to press advantages before Kayle reaches their power spikes, while Kayle should focus on safe farming and hitting key item breakpoints. The most significant statistical gap is in crowd control, where Syndra leads by 1.3s CC/min — a difference that heavily influences the outcome of trades and skirmishes. Syndra has a strong advantage in this matchup. Kayle players should play defensively, prioritize safe farming under tower, and look for opportunities created by jungle pressure or Syndra overextending. Avoid prolonged trades and wait for team fights where positioning and coordination matter more. Understanding these matchup dynamics is essential for champion select decisions and in-game strategy when facing this lane opponent.

Damage

1,014Syndra
Syndra heavily out-damages Kayle by 390 DMG/min, dominating both short trades and all-in fights. Kayle should avoid extended combat and instead focus on burst trade patterns — short engages followed by immediate disengagement — to avoid letting Syndra's sustained damage advantage take over.

Sustain
695Kayle
388Syndra
Kayle vastly out-sustains Syndra, healing and mitigating 306 more damage per minute. This massive durability gap means Kayle can absorb significant punishment and remain in lane while Syndra is forced to recall.

Syndra dominates the early game (first 15 minutes) with a commanding 75.0% win rate — a 50.0 percentage point lead over Kayle. This lopsided early game means Syndra can dictate the pace of the lane from level 1, controlling trades, wave state, and river priority.

Kayle is far superior in the late game (25+ minutes), boasting a 57.1% win rate — 14.3 points above Syndra. Extended games heavily favor Kayle, 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 Kayle reaches their scaling breakpoints. If Kayle 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.
