Syndra vs Katarina Matchup Summary

The Syndra vs Katarina matchup is a decisive matchup in League of Legends ranked play. Based on 91 recent matches analyzed, Syndra wins with a 60.4% win rate compared to Katarina's 39.6%, giving Syndra a 20.9 percentage point advantage. Syndra dominates at every stage — from early laning through late game team fights. This consistent advantage makes it difficult for Katarina 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 1.2s CC/min — a difference that heavily influences the outcome of trades and skirmishes. Syndra players can confidently pick into Katarina and play aggressively from level 1. Look to establish lane dominance early through favorable trades and zone Katarina away from CS whenever possible. Understanding these matchup dynamics is essential for champion select decisions and in-game strategy when facing this lane opponent.

Damage
827Syndra
903Katarina

Economy
12,249Syndra
12,172Katarina
Syndra and Katarina generate nearly equal gold per game, with just a 77 gold difference. Neither champion has a clear economic advantage, so gold leads will depend on individual play quality, kill participation, and objective contributions.
Utility
1.2Syndra
0.1Katarina
Syndra brings significantly more crowd control than Katarina, with 1.2 more seconds of CC per minute. This large utility gap makes Syndra far more valuable in setting up jungle ganks, controlling objectives, and locking down targets in team fights. Katarina should invest in tenacity and position carefully to avoid being chain-CC'd.
Sustain
369Syndra
819Katarina
Katarina vastly out-sustains Syndra, healing and mitigating 449 more damage per minute. This massive durability gap means Katarina can absorb significant punishment and remain in lane while Syndra is forced to recall.
