Volibear vs Syndra Matchup Summary

The Volibear vs Syndra matchup is a decisive matchup in League of Legends ranked play. Based on 5 recent matches analyzed, Syndra wins with a 60.0% win rate compared to Volibear's 40.0%, giving Syndra a 20.0 percentage point advantage. Game phase dynamics play a critical role here: Syndra controls the early laning stage, but Volibear outscales as the game goes longer. The matchup shifts dramatically depending on game length — Syndra needs to press advantages before Volibear reaches their power spikes, while Volibear should focus on safe farming and hitting key item breakpoints. The most significant statistical gap is in sustain, where Volibear leads by 1,153 HP/min — a difference that heavily influences the outcome of trades and skirmishes. Syndra has a strong advantage in this matchup. Volibear players should play defensively, prioritize safe farming under tower, and look for opportunities created by jungle pressure or Syndra 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.

Syndra dominates the early game (first 15 minutes) with a commanding 100.0% win rate — a 100.0 percentage point lead over Volibear. This lopsided early game means Syndra 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 Volibear at 50.0% win rate — only 0.0 points ahead of Syndra. Team fight execution and macro play determine the winner at this stage, not champion matchup advantage.

The power dynamics shift as the game progresses — Syndra has the edge early, but Volibear 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.
