Syndra vs Zed Matchup Summary

The Syndra vs Zed matchup is a decisive matchup in League of Legends ranked play. Based on 113 recent matches analyzed, Zed wins with a 54.0% win rate compared to Syndra's 46.0%, giving Zed a 8.0 percentage point advantage. Zed 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 0.9s CC/min — a difference that heavily influences the outcome of trades and skirmishes. Zed 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 Zed 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.

Farming
6.6Syndra

Damage
801Syndra
918Zed
Zed heavily out-damages Syndra by 118 DMG/min, dominating both short trades and all-in fights. Syndra should avoid extended combat and instead focus on burst trade patterns — short engages followed by immediate disengagement — to avoid letting Zed's sustained damage advantage take over.
Economy
12,104Syndra
13,074Zed
Zed generates a commanding 970 more gold per game than Syndra. This substantial economic advantage means Zed consistently reaches key item breakpoints earlier, creating a compounding lead that grows throughout the game. Syndra should focus on cost-effective item choices and avoid unnecessary deaths to prevent falling further behind.
Utility
1.2Syndra
0.2Zed
Syndra brings significantly more crowd control than Zed, with 0.9 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. Zed should invest in tenacity and position carefully to avoid being chain-CC'd.
Sustain
470Syndra
708Zed
Zed vastly out-sustains Syndra, healing and mitigating 238 more damage per minute. This massive durability gap means Zed 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.
