Nami vs Syndra Matchup Summary

The Nami vs Syndra matchup is a decisive matchup in League of Legends ranked play. Based on 9 recent matches analyzed, Syndra wins with a 55.6% win rate compared to Nami's 44.4%, giving Syndra a 11.1 percentage point advantage. Game phase dynamics play a critical role here: Syndra controls the early laning stage, but Nami outscales as the game goes longer. The matchup shifts dramatically depending on game length — Syndra needs to press advantages before Nami reaches their power spikes, while Nami should focus on safe farming and hitting key item breakpoints. The most significant statistical gap is in CS, where Syndra leads by 1.4 CS/min — a difference that heavily influences the outcome of trades and skirmishes. Syndra has a strong advantage in this matchup. Nami 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.

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

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