Syndra vs Akali Matchup Summary

The Syndra vs Akali matchup is a decisive matchup in League of Legends ranked play. Based on 108 recent matches analyzed, Akali wins with a 58.3% win rate compared to Syndra's 41.7%, giving Akali a 16.7 percentage point advantage. Akali dominates at every stage — from early laning through late game team fights. This consistent advantage makes it difficult for Syndra players to find favorable windows, so team-dependent strategies and avoiding solo confrontations are essential. 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. Akali has a strong advantage in this matchup. Syndra players should play defensively, prioritize safe farming under tower, and look for opportunities created by jungle pressure or Akali 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.
