Syndra vs Kayle Matchup Summary

The Syndra vs Kayle 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 players can confidently pick into Kayle and play aggressively from level 1. Look to establish lane dominance early through favorable trades and zone Kayle away from CS whenever possible. Understanding these matchup dynamics is essential for champion select decisions and in-game strategy when facing this lane opponent.

Syndra wins the laning phase against Kayle in League of Legends

Syndra is favored during the laning phase against Kayle, winning 4 out of 5 key stat categories. Syndra holds advantages in farming, damage, gold income and crowd control, making them the stronger laner in this matchup.

Farming
7.8Syndra
7.6Kayle
Syndra and Kayle farm at nearly identical rates in this matchup, with only a 0.2 CS/min difference. Neither champion holds a meaningful farming advantage, so lane dominance will come from trading and jungle interaction rather than CS leads.
Damage
1,014Syndra
624Kayle
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.
Economy
12,954Syndra
12,239Kayle
Syndra earns 714 more gold per game than Kayle, equivalent to roughly one additional component item. This economic edge comes from a combination of better farming, kill participation, and objective control, giving Syndra slightly faster item completions.
Utility
1.6Syndra
0.3Kayle
Syndra brings significantly more crowd control than Kayle, with 1.3 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. Kayle should invest in tenacity and position carefully to avoid being chain-CC'd.
Sustain
388Syndra
695Kayle
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. Building grievous wounds early is essential for Syndra, and focusing on burst trade patterns rather than sustained fights is critical.

Best Syndra Build Against Kayle

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.
