Talon vs Syndra Matchup Summary

The Talon vs Syndra matchup is a decisive matchup in League of Legends ranked play. Based on 25 recent matches analyzed, Talon wins with a 60.0% win rate compared to Syndra's 40.0%, giving Talon a 20.0 percentage point advantage. Game phase dynamics play a critical role here: Syndra controls the early laning stage, but Talon outscales as the game goes longer. The matchup shifts dramatically depending on game length — Syndra needs to press advantages before Talon reaches their power spikes, while Talon should focus on safe farming and hitting key item breakpoints. 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. Talon players can confidently pick into Syndra and play aggressively from level 1. Look to establish lane dominance early through favorable trades and zone Syndra away from CS whenever possible. Understanding these matchup dynamics is essential for champion select decisions and in-game strategy when facing this lane opponent.

1,018Syndra
Syndra heavily out-damages Talon by 221 DMG/min, dominating both short trades and all-in fights. Talon 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.

14,019Syndra
Syndra generates a commanding 2,101 more gold per game than Talon. This substantial economic advantage means Syndra consistently reaches key item breakpoints earlier, creating a compounding lead that grows throughout the game.

Utility
0.1Talon
1.4Syndra
Syndra brings significantly more crowd control than Talon, 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.

Sustain
774Talon
428Syndra

Syndra dominates the early game (first 15 minutes) with a commanding 55.6% win rate — a 11.1 percentage point lead over Talon. This lopsided early game means Syndra can dictate the pace of the lane from level 1, controlling trades, wave state, and river priority.

Talon is far superior in the late game (25+ minutes), boasting a 68.8% win rate — 37.5 points above Syndra. Extended games heavily favor Talon, 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 Talon reaches their scaling breakpoints. If Talon 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.
