Malphite vs Syndra Matchup Summary

The Malphite vs Syndra matchup is a decisive matchup in League of Legends ranked play. Based on 24 recent matches analyzed, Syndra wins with a 66.7% win rate compared to Malphite's 33.3%, giving Syndra a 33.3 percentage point advantage. Syndra dominates at every stage — from early laning through late game team fights. This consistent advantage makes it difficult for Malphite players to find favorable windows, so team-dependent strategies and avoiding solo confrontations are essential. The most significant statistical gap is in sustain, where Malphite leads by 1,060 HP/min — a difference that heavily influences the outcome of trades and skirmishes. Syndra has a strong advantage in this matchup. Malphite 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.
