Syndra vs Tahm Kench Matchup Summary

The Syndra vs Tahm Kench matchup is a decisive matchup in League of Legends ranked play. Based on 7 recent matches analyzed, Tahm Kench wins with a 57.1% win rate compared to Syndra's 42.9%, giving Tahm Kench a 14.3 percentage point advantage. Game phase dynamics play a critical role here: Tahm Kench controls the early laning stage, but Syndra outscales as the game goes longer. The matchup shifts dramatically depending on game length — Tahm Kench needs to press advantages before Syndra reaches their power spikes, while Syndra should focus on safe farming and hitting key item breakpoints. The most significant statistical gap is in sustain, where Tahm Kench leads by 1,661 HP/min — a difference that heavily influences the outcome of trades and skirmishes. Tahm Kench 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 Tahm Kench 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.

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

Late game (25+ minutes) is equally balanced, with Syndra at 50.0% win rate — only 0.0 points ahead of Tahm Kench. Team fight execution and macro play determine the winner at this stage, not champion matchup advantage.

The power dynamics shift as the game progresses — Tahm Kench has the edge early, but Syndra gradually takes over. However, the margins are slim enough that either champion can win at any stage with the right plays. Focus on taking advantages when you have them rather than waiting for a specific game phase.
