Xerath vs Syndra Matchup Summary

The Xerath vs Syndra matchup is a decisive matchup in League of Legends ranked play. Based on 92 recent matches analyzed, Xerath wins with a 54.4% win rate compared to Syndra's 45.6%, giving Xerath a 8.7 percentage point advantage. Xerath 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 0.4s CC/min — a difference that heavily influences the outcome of trades and skirmishes.

Understanding these matchup dynamics is essential for champion select decisions and in-game strategy when facing this lane opponent.
