Syndra vs Naafiri Matchup Summary

The Syndra vs Naafiri matchup is a decisive matchup in League of Legends ranked play. Based on 7 recent matches analyzed, Naafiri wins with a 85.7% win rate compared to Syndra's 14.3%, giving Naafiri a 71.4 percentage point advantage. Naafiri 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 1.0s CC/min — a difference that heavily influences the outcome of trades and skirmishes. Naafiri 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 Naafiri 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.

960Naafiri

Utility
1.1Syndra
0.1Naafiri
Syndra brings significantly more crowd control than Naafiri, with 1.0 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.

Sustain
356Syndra
