Avucado says “Start Q and look to hook them and get autos. Post 3 just walk or W up to them then hook or stun them, release your hook asap because they can cancel it with their shove. Immobile, susceptible to ganks and squishy. Roam if they play under tower. Take hexdrinker if you don't stomp them because they do a lot of damage with their R and it's a point and click.”
Drewmatth Taliyah says “Start Doran + 2 Pots if 1) You think you can outplay her and hit your W's to generate a kill at levels 3-5 or 2) You think she will burst you down post 6 (get an extra ring).
Start Corrupting if you think you will not hit your W's (or you will get poked down) and you rely more on wave clear/spammy poke (you will be way more squisher but more durable -- this is recommended if you are sure you will not get hit by CC spells and instantly die).
Go for the kill pre 6 - try to predict her E's but if she's good she'll know how to instantly E you and that'll be difficult and next to impossible to dodge. Good thing is that happens only at the highest elo.
If you dodge E levels 2-5 you have free time to do face damage so work around that. Post 6 if you are not super ahead or she IS ahead try to get some magic resist because her ult will just melt you.
If she has no R (she used it somewhere else or used it before without killing you) she becomes a relatively easy to kill target - just be careful of her E ! If you dodge that it's over. Her level 1 matches yours on Q poke (might even be better if she sticks behind minions properly), but on a close fight if you position properly your full Q's will triumph. When using WE expect an E to come from her to negate your damage followup and kill potential.
Pick Barrier if you feel you are going to get outplayed by her R.”
Yeager says “Take cleanse or barrier. Syndra is very oppressive and has very high kill pressure in lane. Keep track of her dark spheres and how she moves, so you can dodge her stun. Rushing merc treads against her is a must! ”
Ambitieux says “Syndra has always been a rough matchup, what she lacks in mobility she makes up for in damage. Try to get lvl 2 faster than her in this lane by shoving wave and weaving her q's out of minions. If you can succeed and get early trades with pressure of charm or landing it, roll with ur advantage and go for an early kill. If not you may have to play the lane very safe until a jungler can come due to her naturally pushing the lane. I suggest Negatron TECH into this matchup or even Merc treads. It will go wonders”
iZianni says “Low mobility means you can punish her, but if she ever lands a Q/E you will literally die.
Verdant barrier rush if you fear for your life.
Otherwise go full AP and try to one shot her from range.
PLEASE GO VERDANT BARRIER.”
AP WormMaW Mid says “It might be quite surprising, but Syndra actually is not that hard opponent to deal with. Be careful if she is too aggressive early and try to make short trades against her if she misses her abilities or if she uses them for farming purpose, but respect her. Once when you get your negatron, she shouldn't be able to oneshot you with single stun and R combo, which will allow you to farm up your early magic penetration. Once when you have it, you should be able to win any kind of long-distance trades versus her and once when you hit level 16, you will be able to kill her before she even manages to reach you.”
Yeager says “She's also a lane dominant champion like Orianna. Rush mercury treads right after lost chapter, and have cleanse as your secondary summoner spells so you don't get comboed to death whenever you're stunned. Her Q cooldown is short even early game, so play around that and don't give her free hits. She MUST win the laning phase because she gets outscaled, so your only job is to play passive if you can't win. ”
Halfhand says “I wouldn't buy buy mercs in this matchup but its for sure a good option. I moreso look to get my rocketbelt first so I have proper waveclear. Careful for her lvl 6.”
iZianni says “Orianna favored due to range advantage, Syndra can one shot us unless we build Merc treads. At which point she loses this match up, team fights are Orianna favored due to utility.”
Sanctuar says “Syndra's combo is all about hitting her E on you. Dodge it to avoid an all-in by her. Zhonya's is the ideal item to mitigate her ultimate ability.”
Hullos says “High dmg, hard to dodge cc. While her cc is difficult to deal with, if you do dodge it you can often force a flash or kill with W slow if you have decent HP.”
Zethal_Na says “Dodge the qs and try not to get poked. Null magic mantle is a great early buy if you notice the Syndra is landing her qs. If you're better, then build normally. ”
Coldsong says “Syndra has huge amounts of burst with her R and a long range stun that ruins Talon's day. She can interrupt your ranged Q with her E, making engaging difficult. Make sure to not stand in the minion wave so that she cannot poke and farm at the same time! Roaming is key here as she is super immobile and cannot keep up with you.”
King Turtle says “Her kit makes it difficult to get in close with E, and your early mana issues are going to keep you at a disadvantage if you aren't smart about your poke.”
angeLoon says “Conq Dblade In Resolve Conditioning or Domination as Secondary.
You can't Block his Q but everything else from her abilities.
Windwall his E and go for it”
StarTundra says “Syndra is able to burst anivia down very easily if she can land a stun. Alternatively so can you if you can land a stun. However syndra can one shot you regardless of stun if she has a big ult, whereas you cannot do outplay button.”
Fuzzmonkey says “Skill/reaction match up for Syndra. If she E's your W when you're going in for her. She'll beat you, otherwise if she wastes her E, go hard on her.”
Katasandra says “[1] Try to dodge Q, keep moving.
[2] Takes precedence over [1]: avoid lining up with her balls & her so she can't stun you with E.
[3] Can self R her R when things get spicy.
[4] Difficulty depends on whether she takes Elec or Phase Rush. Noticeably more manageable if she takes PR.”
eiensiei says “I'll farm and poke safely with E while being mindful of the balls on the ground and not being at an angle where she can E me into a stun. When I land a Q I'll go for the E-R, but I won't step up for any passive procs unless I'm 100% sure it will kill her (if it doesn't, my position/movement will be telegraphed and she'll have an easy time stunning me, possibly costing my my flash/barrier/life). Zhonya's can be a helpful too in denying her R damage, but as a general rule I'll avoid being that close for her to R.”
Katawina52 says “Hard early if she pokes you out with Q without autoattacking (minions wont aggro her then). You can look for basic combo trade when she goes for a Q. Once she does you should look to E>W her. This is the best opportunity to trade as her combo rotation will be on CD. Verdant Barrier extremely good if they have an ap jgler else I'd suggest rushing Bork for easy oneshot potential on her. Make sure to not use ult if she didnt use her E yet. Mercs are really good aswell vs Syndra.”
WayOfTheTempesst says “Matchup not too bad, I would go fleet and just play to farm and only go in on her when she wastes her E or try to juke her E with ur E. Pick up double dorans or mantle if they are double ap so she can not one shot you. Take shieldbow and 2nd wind.”
WayOfTheTempesst says “Dodge her lvl 1 Qs and try preserve your hp for level 2. If you get level 2 at the same time as her, do not go on her. If you go on her without windwall she can easily stun you and proc electrocute/phase rush and just walk away. Wait till level 3 in this matchup to windwall the stun and you will easily out trade her. Save windwall for her ulti post 6 or she can end up killing you if you have no MR. Grab an early magic mantle if you really struggle with her damage.”
Dr Eggmund says “Dodge everything! Or your screwed. Build boots first or if you're confident build dark seal for sustain + Spirit Visage if you are unconfident which I don't blame ya. Poke her with Q's as this will signal her to use her abilities. What I tend to do is pressure with poke and dodge her AOE Attacks to make Syndra use mana. If she has no mana, it means no damage. Simples!”
RezoneVerified says “Dont place turrets close together due to her having strong AoE. Prioritise Ult W or E against her due to her being able to throw away your Ult Q. Banshees as a 5th or 6th item can work well.”
Sylvan Lore says “Lots of people struggle with this matchup but it isn't too bad. You should take E level 1 if you are unsure of your ability to dodge her Qs. You can win trades with her early since overall your abilities are easier to land than hers. The only way to really lose a trade is to allow her to land a stun on you. Late game is much easier for you than it is for her as well. You can Ult her whole team and she can only Ult one of you. Respect her level 6 greatly and wait for jungler pressure. Even at full health a combo from a level 6 Syndra can just kill you.
Recommend: Barrier and Vs. AP Assassin Build”
Polarshift says “She beats everyone in lane, however she will never match you in the sidelanes. She has more range than you and is really good in 1v1's vs squishy targets like you; so get some MR.”
DarDarThePenguin says “Syndra is an annoying poke mage. Because of her E, you rarely can engage on her, but she cannot kill you in lane because of your sustain from runes/items. Be careful of her level 6 spike. Take the Fleet page and MR.”
VyoS says “Try to dodge Syndra's E or wait when Syndra's E is on cooldown, you also can try to dodge her ult but that's difficult ,because she mostly will ult you when you're stunned. Also, play save in early game because she can harass you really hard if you position wrong,”
LunarVortex says “Make sure to time your spellshield very well so that she doesn't break it before attempting to stun you. If you fail at doing so, she can oneshot you. Get early boots to make dodging her skillshots easier. Most junglers can easily gank and kill her if you spellshield he E onto your jungler. Get an early Verdant Barrier.”
richardlized says “When laning against syndra, you have to abuse how much more mobile you are compared to her. You have the ability to dodge her damage fairly easy (you can R her R) , so you have a theoretical advantage in this lane. Mind that she can pressure you very hard early levels with her stun and constant Qs so make her waste her mana. You want to freeze the lane and threaten with your strong all ins.
”
Dj Memelord says “Very limited manapool. dodge a few q's and she loses kill potential very fast. Hold your W for her ult or stun. Out of laning phase just run at her”
King Turtle says “This annoying bitch can AND will spend the entire laning phase making your life a living hell with Q spam that'll make you wish this was only a nightmare. Plus she can just shove you away with E if you get too close, and your W shield isnt strong enough to negate any damage from her Ult. This is hell.”
duhnx says “High poke and one shot potential. Hexdrinker is a good buy. Kill her once she uses E and never go in when she has ult and you don;t have Hexdrinker shield up.”
TheDuskWalker says “Any Summs. Phase Rush.
She outranges you and will constantly harass you with aa's and q's. Try to predict when she will e (usually after she q's) and pool it to negate most of her damage when she takes electrocute. Pool her ult if she randomly uses it without pairing it up with qe. Try to farm up and one shot her later with mobility.”
Oxydation says “Its just a Matchup where you have to dodge and she has to hit. Thats all.
Also after she used E, you can try to fight her, if she dont play to passive after her E.”
ParkboyYT says “Don't expect to touch her. If she plays her lane right then she will bully you. Just push wave then roam if you are going into this matchup.”
Curt Mcbeltpants says “Syndra is early mercs and you can avoid her poke. Just watch out she can push you back after your dash and so you can't catchup with her. also some of them run phase rush so they'll outrun you no matter what.”
Daers says “Get your boots as soon as possible, and go on her to proc electrocute whenever you can. Her stun has a long cooldown so all in her whenever she uses it. ”
Neekolai says “Suuuper scary as she is nearly impossible to hit ulti on, because she knocks you away and out ranges you. Again try and dodge her skill shots and play around your team, since she also out scales you.
Against these kind of champs I tend to try and flash behind them when I ult so they fail the knock away”
Little Planet says “You can never engage on her due to her E and she outranges you/outscales you.
Don't pick Sej into Syndra, if you get counterpicked, just play safe until mythic.”
Joseph Evanss says “This champ has been basically gutted at this point, she has a small bit of poke early bit eat it because of how high her mana costs are. Try not to use your e until she either has no mana or already used hers, or use your e to dodge hers. After Beserkers + Zeal its free kills. Go Second Wind, Revitalize + D Shield”
TheSecretsWithin says “Syndra's Q balls early on are really annoying zoning tools, but you can absorb most of the damage with your Q shield. The main issue with this matchup is her E knockback which doesn't allow you to stick on Syndra for very long even if you have your R since it can stun you after the knockback if a ball hits you when she cast her E. But other than that, the matchup is quite simple, Q to absorb the damage and punish if she mispositions like every other immobile mage, but the second you get R, you just need to wait for her to use E. When she does, you can just run her down. Do take note, how many balls are on the ground. If not, her ulti will randomly deal a lot of damage. Just cause she spammed her balls onto the ground without you realising.”
7daysko says “Very annoying lane. Focus on farming and ask jungler for help. Her Qs are very easy to land and she gets to have an easy stun. Beware when your HP is below 50% as she can potentially kill you with her ulti. Exhausting her just as she casts her ulti reduces the damage significantly, so consider taking Exhaust.”
Ryank30 says “Fleet. You have to be careful around her early poke, up until you have enough to get Berserker Greaves, then it becomes easier with extra movement speed and more attack speed to stack up your Q's. Play it safe for the first few levels and give up farm if you need to. A good Syndra player will definitely make if hard for you but if you play it safe you can take it from there.”
kindo says “Take Doran's Shield and Tenacity Rune. They are extremely important in this matchup - it becomes harder if you don't. Like Orianna, almost any poke pre-6 can be mitigated by DShield and your W passive. Use your Q to dodge her early Qs before lvl 3-4. Play around her E cooldown more than her phase rush. It's more difficult for Syndra to activate phase rush than other champions if her E isn't up. Since you have Q, it's tricky for her to land Q a lot as well. Play the lane to farm, but go for trades to try and bait her E but not all in. Once used, look for a window to engage (if phase rush is down it's better). Rushing Merc treads is a strong tool - combined with tenacity rune, it makes it so that if you get stunned she cannot guarantee a Q during the stun. Along with her ult, merc treads make it able to survive it without using your ultimate. Overall, the matchup is pretty annoying in laning phase and you can fall behind - however it's not that difficult. Once you hit 4 marks it also becomes extremely easy to bait her stun because of increased range to trade from.”
xoonaka says “Annoying poke, and her E can push you back whilst your Q is on her. Her ult can be quite dangerous whilst you're demounted but that's about it.
”
XD001 says “levels 1-5 can be rough if you have a problem dodging skillshots. After level 6 it becomes impossible to get solo'd by her if you have your R up. If she uses scatter the weak (the force pulse) and misses her stun you should all in her and try to kill her as she has no self peel after that. In teamfights and mid/late game she is an easy 1 shot.
Even scaling
electrocute + inspiration + ignite/tp”
Luciiid says “As long as you make sure not to step in range/vicinity of her q's then she cant stun you. if she misses her stun, then all in and its free. If she gets ahead she will one shot you. Take electrocute.”
Noodles912 says “Play safe, give up cs, and look to punish her poor positioning. Keep Moving to dodge those Q's. Try to roam a lot as well. Avoid 1v1 when she has a lot of dark circles on the floor, or her ult will kill you unless you use your E. Zhonya's is a must rush, and mercs is a great choice.”
elnino9 says “Dodge her Qs, she'll poke you when you are walking up to last hit minions so keep an eye out for that. If she misses stun, take advantage of it. After 6, don't get stunned. Farm safely and make her use crucial spells such as W and mainly E, then you can all in. Merc treads and hexdrinker are both great items against her.”
Wunsch3957 says “As in any mage matchup try not to get poked down. If she starts Q, you start E to trade and if she goes W level 1 start Q. Before 6 you can block her E when you engage but after 6 try to save it for her R. Fleet.”
Lot of Wind here says “Yasuo can be a great pick into Syndra : you can block her R as well as stopping her balls at the beggining of your wall. However, a good Syndra will be tough to fight in the early game. Try to avoid getting hit by her Q and freeze the wave. Don't dash directly into her if she has her E.”
Wunsch3957 says “Champion's very nerfed and bad at the moment. Don't get poked down, all in when she misuses E. Fleet/domination with flash/ignite. Another lane where you want to go galeforce.”
Impossible2Gank says “She can grab your boxes and get rid of them and her ult can't be entirely dodged. Stick your boxes on the sides and you can also put some points into E if they make strong efforts to focus them down. You should be fine as long as you stay healthy and wait for her to use up all her mana. Magic resist is recommended (hexdrinker is very helpful here).”
Twitch.Tv-LimitBreaker88 says “Video : https://youtu.be/UM55-R4UKiA
A really good syndra is 1 of the harder matchups,. Rush mercs, dodge her Q's (3sec CD) and stun.
even if you go 20 CS down, you outscale her hard, she is the AP pantheon so don't worry too much. Easy to gank her with your jungler.”
ReYkoTheLord says “Diffcult matchup, syndra is one of the lane bullies for Cassiopeia, this is one of the lanes I take sustain build into, as long as you don't die and go down on some cs you should be fine. If you have decent dodge mechanics you should win this lane.”
nZk01 says “(Mid) Syndra can be very hard but you can dodge her Q's early quite easily, just care about her lvl 6 1 shots, you dont really have a lot of kill pressure either because of her E but if you play around her CD's well you can kill her and shes really easy to dive with your jungler, would recommend Barrier/TP or cleanse.”
The Jhin Cena says “Her poke is insane, give her 1 kill and she will scale infinitely, she has a click ult that 1 shots, overall really really annoying to fight against and I'd highly recommend perma banning her. If you don't have a good jungler that ganks regularly, you will likely either die a lot to her, hardly get any CS, or both. ”
JEAFlashSword says “Avoid as much as possible her Qs and W you can windwall her E and R
don't trade her level 2 if the syndra is good you can regret it seriously :)”
BigBushMan says “Dodge or lose.
Syndra has more burst than most other midlaners and can stop your entire engage with Q+E while also removing at least 3/4 of your health.
Goodluck. ”
nZk01 says “(Mid) Syndra can be very hard but you can dodge her Q's early quite easily, just care about her lvl 6 1 shots, you dont really have a lot of kill pressure either because of her E but if you play around her CD's well you can kill her and shes really easy to dive with your jungler, would recommend Barrier/TP or cleanse.”
Tamatamo says “If you haven't faced a poke champ yet in this game then you'll be shown what a poke champ can do. However, if she is bad it can be a pretty easy matchup. Though always think that she'll be good to be safe.”
Gtoxer says “runa recomendada: Cometa ou colheita. Feitiço de invocador: ignite ou tp ou purificar(caso comp inimiga tenha mt cc) . 1)tente chama seu jg para te ganka uma ou duas vezes, porque ela é muito fragil!. 2)o E dela tem um colldown muito grande, tire aproveito disso, se ela erra o E, va para cima! 3) tente puni ela antes do nivel 3, e depois do nivel 3 fique meio defensivo para não ser gankado e morrer.
4)Faça item de resistencia magica!!! exemplo:Véu de banshee”
Remmacs1 says “Similar to other AP match ups make sure you take magic resister and understand that you will outscale AP champions no matter what. Look to trade her aggressively when she wastes cooldowns in lane.”
Hiimkata says “Hard early if she pokes you out with Q without autoattacking (minions wont aggro her then). You can look for basic combo trade when she goes for a Q. Once she does you should look to E>W her. This is the best opportunity to trade as her combo rotation will be on CD. Verdant Barrier extremely good if they have an ap jgler else I'd suggest rushing Bork for easy oneshot potential on her. Make sure to not use ult if she didnt use her E yet. Mercs are really good aswell vs Syndra.
”
ShadowSlayerMain says “She has long range thanks to her kit so just last hit minions, Hexdrinker is optional in Early Game, try not to R on her Zhonya's”
bboyxje123 says “Try to dominate the lane from lvl 1-3 and push/poke her into her turret. To win this lane you will need fancy feet to dodge her stuns and poke.”
ParkChnm says “If you can't dodge, start E and trade with her. She's pretty easy to beat early and late, but she can kill you if you get stunned by her. Banshee's and Merc Treads are recommended.”
ParkChnm says “Bully her into her tower. I would suggest staying away from your minions since she'll be wasting mana if she Q's you alone rather than hitting minions and you. Double MR runes and Mercury Treads are an option.”
Elite500 says “She outranges you, you HAVE to dodge her balls on the ground and play mindgames or else you'll get pushed out of lane, BUT ELITE YOU CAN POOL HER ULT XDDDDD NO YOU CANT IF SHE STUNS YOU!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!”
Jnewbringspain says “Syndra is difficult due to her E ability. It will push you back away from her. She is very difficult to approach early on because of this. She also has a lot of poke and burst potential. You'll want to play this one safe early on, and try to go all-in after you get your movement speed boost items.”
Yamikaze says “You can go aggressive whenever her E:Scatter the weak is on CD, because this is the only way she can reliably land her spells on you. Without it she won't be able to keep up with your mobility. Pre-level 6 you can use your wind wall to dodge her E:scatter the weak. Most of her abilities can be dodged with Sweeping blade. After lvl 6 do not use Wind wall to block her Scatter the weak, when her ultimate is up. She gets a huge damage spike when she hits 6, so you always want to save your wind wall for her ultimate. ”
wildersovereign says “This matchup is pretty even, but it's still painful to play. She will do her best to get you to ragequit early with constant Q poke, so do your best to stay resilient and dodge. Her raw damage is enough to break your shield before she goes for her E, so make sure you're using it at smart times. She can one-shot you pretty easily once she gets R, so do your best to ensure that doesn't happen. She'll start falling off soon enough, though, so just survive and start scaling for the late game. This is one of the few matchups where I would genuinely consider picking up an early Verdant Barrier, especially if she has a few kills. The item can help you a lot in terms of surviving her burst. It's not something you should grab every time, but at least consider it if she's giving you trouble.”
ITSDEBEAR says “Tends to be either pretty hard or pretty fun. Dodge or pool the stun pre6. Past 6 pool the ult. You should outburst her past 1 item. Make sure that she wont get fed or else youll have a baaad time. Both electro and phase rush work here but phase rush is good only if you know how to play this matchup.”
rajsovsky says “Cringe. A lot of poke, mental damage, very high potential to kill you in early/mid/late. Only way to win is taking wraiths and dodging her E/R with your pool. You can buy boots of speed (300G) as first item in this matchup so it's easier to dodge her Q's.”
invalidd says “She can do well against you if she uses her E properly, if she messes it up you can run up to her and trade her, her Q is really low cooldown
early on so she'll try to harass you with it at lvl1, you have to throw the hook quick before the stun goes through to pull her in. Complicated to gank.”
lkycch says “Many players misunderstand her role, thinking that she is a poke mage. She is actually an upgrade to Veigar, a mage assassin type champion. That's why Exhaust is so good against her. She has short range to deal her burst combo, so make sure you E+Q+W+Q her as punishment! Syndra is very good at shoving in the wave and bursting you down post-6. This means that you need to farm the best you can pre-6 and ensure that you don't fall too farm behind. Use TS+GLP to setup Q+W+Q stuns from afar; you can't afford to get close and let her stun you. If she focuses your ally, revive them quickly as her ult waits for no-one! Remember: Summoner's Rift is a 5V5, not a 1v1. You don't have to stay in lane and suffer a losing matchup!”

SkellyBirb says “Syndra's big threat is the fact her stun is very quick so you might see her start her combo and shield, but then have your shield be broken by dark sphere just to be stunned. Be careful of her combo and play safe trying to poke her when you get the chance.”
KASSAW1N says “Kass vs Syndra: Tienes que pockearla, a lo extremo (Y cuando esté a 2/4 de vida lanzarte), luego esperar tu lvl 6, maxeate la Q de primeras o segundas para cuando te tire la R recibir menos daño de ella. (compra hielo eterno)”
Tortoise_Maniac says “- Try to avoid as much poke from her Q onto you as possible
- Use your W shield efficiently to soak up as much of her mana as possible
- Match her waveclear with your Q, while trying to hit her with them aswell
- She's very hard to kill early because of her E
- But you do win most 2v2's with your jungler
- At level 6, try to outroam her ”
Big Shawn says “Syndra can be outplayed easily if the opposing player isn't smart. But she can easily punish you for your potential silly mistakes. What makes you strong against her is your quick and flink leap and rapid engage on her.”
Scyrine says “Harmful and disgusting lane to go against. The most annoying thing is she can stop your E and R by pushing you away so you deal no damage. In lane dodge her Qs and try to bait out her E before engaging.”
BCota says “This is a very easy matchup. Yes, her Qs hurt, a lot. But if you play around her orbs and make sure you are not in danger of being stunned you are chillin. Trade with Q+Autos and you should be fine use E whenever shes close enough and you feel like you can poke her safely. If you see her ult you just pool and it doesnt do damage
”
Chili Dog says “she outranges you, you HAVE to dodge her balls on the ground and play mindgames or else you'll get pushed out of lane, BUT ELITE YOU CAN POOL HER ULT XDDDDD NO YOU CANT IF SHE STUNS YOU!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!. Both Runes are viable.”
Doctor Yas says “Longer range, more burst, and better scaling. Syndra is all around a scary champion to deal with. Her lack of mobility will make it easier to lock her down.”
Niqkl says “Heavily dependant on how good the Syndra is at hitting skillshots. Consider getting t1 boots first back to dodge the Qs and Ws better. Her ult does a lot of damage, when you get stunned with half your hp its game over.”
FalleN3 says “This is not going to be fun. She out-ranges you by a LOT. This is a really difficult match-up and you will need ganks to gain any kind of advantage. I generally rush Banshee's Veil in this match-up. Play as safe as possible but remember she can even hit you when under your tower. You will need some MR ASAP ..
Syndra can pick Tibbers up with her (W) Force of Will and throw him out of the fight or back onto you which will deal damage to you both.
On the plus side, she is also squishy and immobile which makes her susceptible to ganks.”
vCraze says “Syndra is an easy matchup as you have the range advantage. Make sure you don't allow her to get the early lead because she is strong early and don't position in a line between her spheres and her as she will stun you. Scale up and wait for Ludens and then poke her out with Q every time it is up.”
SkellyBirb says “She has a good amount of poke but you can easily burst her down. She has a decent disengage and an ultimate that can deal massive damage.”
Sadkid says “Syndra is weird. A good one who hits all her Qs is scary however, if you can tether the Q range you outrange her and win. Early skirmishes you win. ”
PedrinhoXD says “I suggest you to start boots, as if you dodge her poke, you won't have any trouble before 6, but if you find it hard to dodge her poke, start doran's ring and trade back with her, as she is weak without her ult”
WolfRider01 says “Fairly straight forward: Don't get hit by her balls, and you'll be fine. She is poke heavy, and VERY VERY BURSTY. Additionally, she is also very mana hungry, so she will likely use a decent amount trying to farm or poke you. You can block her E (where she shoves the balls) with your W, though if it is close enough, it may still stun you (similar to how Irelia's stun may stun you still, through the W)”
Lavishmouse1032 says “if you can always or most of the time dodge her stun you could poke her and i recommend either barrier or cleanse to go up against her ”
Hqzz says “Syndra is easier to play against and more even with Ryze. She can however slowly poke you down with her W, or her stun then W. Don't try to fight when she has ult, hers is much better than yours in 1v1s.”
MagicalFartz1 says “Electro with ignite. She used to be a hard matchup before her nerfs, Now she can't harsh you without running out of mana. If she misses E run her down with ignite. Get mercs if you are behind.”
MINISE says “Lucian's laning to Syndra is a bully lane, take cleanse to counter the stuns and you will really have to back off her damage when harassing. She outscales if played properly and fast in which leads to a full build/s.”
economistastonks says “Wait until she wastes her mana to go in safely. Buy hexdrinker in between the first lethality items. Also go merc treads for extra tank and you won't fear her. ”
Bobbab says “Skill matchup favoured Syndra. Waiting for syndra to use her e is the only chance. Try not to get poked down too much and survive early. Getting a jungle gank can help you snowball off her and if you ever get a lead she is easily killed with no mobillity.”
sweodigaming says “Hard, she out ranges you, has a far stun, and can burst you. Take barrier to maybe survive her ult damage, Zhonyas could also be a good alternative. I recommend Banshee's Veil and other MR items. Call for ganks since she has bad escape. If you would like to try to all-in her wait for her E so she can't stun you and turn the tables and just Q, R you.”
NightSoar says “Dodge Balls, Remember not to line yourself up for her to stun you. All in after she's used her abilities to harras (and missed). Ult when her Scatter the weak is on Cooldown.
Your E helps to withstand her Ult.”
Magical Rock says “Ah Syndra, one of the most annoying people to go against. Her stun is quite dangerous, so look out for that against her. If she makes a ball, assume that she will try to stun you with it. Consider taking Exhaust.”
Nazrat says “A lot of people think that Syndra counters Ekko but its vice-versa , just E forward , if she casts E and u are able to hit her even if she pushes you away you still teleport on top of her and run her down.”
ZeMoller says “Playing against syndra is very hard, since you have to catch her off guard or she has to fuck up so hard to die in lane, try to freeze the wave infront of ur tower and call for jungle ganks (i know i say this a lot but it is very important for Cassiopeias laning.) try to farm out this lane and call for jungle assistance, a Nul-Magic Mantel helps you greatly in this matchup.”
Yeager says “Ekko can easily win this matchup. Syndra struggles a lot against mobile champions like Ekko. Your E cd is really low compared to her stun, so you can constantly jump on her over and over. You can also deny her ultimate damage with yours. It becomes even harder for her when we get to midgame, because she CAN'T survive against you in the sidelane. ”
FalleN3 says “A good Syndra player will make this a very difficult lane to play. She has decent range and using her (E) Scatter the Weak can land a nice combo on you that will hit pretty hard. Use your (E) Command: Protect to soak up the damage from her early combos. She will try to bully you in lane and it will be difficult to trade with or zone her effectively. Prioritize farming in this lane and try your best to avoid her abilities. Make no mistake, this is a difficult lane at the best of times, use your head and play safe. Starting boots & health pots is a solid option here and taking barrier will help against her all-in combo after lvl 6.”
Haywyre says “Lots of poke, I hope you're wide awake for this matchup. Go resolve: Second Wind + Overgrowth/Unflinching. Play it slow and make sure to dodge her stun.”
SkellyBirb says “Syndra has a lot of burst and can push you away from her if you try to engage. Roaming effectively is likely the best option to counter her.”
Frixen says “She outranges you, outpushes you, the only way to beat her is to get cleanse or barrier, and look for out of lane plays. Keep cleanse or barrier to make sure you don't die, and try to get as much as possible while keeping her in lane, and after 6, just get out of there ASAP. Later on, splitpush as much as possible against her. You don't want to be teamfighting against syndra and pulling her out of the enemy team stack is more useful than anything else.”
FalleN3 says “This lane is a NIGHTMARE pre level 6. She massively outranges you so try your best to avoid her skill-shots. Avoid giving her free harass. She can still hit you hard even under your tower. Farm as much as you safely can and you can try to abuse her cooldowns [especially her (E)] should she miss a spell on you. After level 6 this lane become a lot easier as you can now burst her down 100-0, especially with some jungler help.”
Bouhhsolene says “Against Syndra, take electrocute and try to take small trades when her E is on CD. Take cleanse to avoid dying if you take a stun, and play safe until you hit an E post 6. Just care about her E when you R, as it might get your R away from her. Normally the matchup is even, she can one shot you, but you can one shot her. Play safe and wait for your jungler if you don't have vision, but you can go for an all-in if you have vision on the enemy jungler.
She will outrange you a bit, but not that much if you can dodge her Q.
She scales harder tho, so try to end as fast as possible.”
SkellyBirb says “She has a good amount of poke but you can easily burst her down. She has a decent disengage and an ultimate that can deal massive damage.”
FalleN3 says “This lane is a NIGHTMARE pre level 6. She massively outranges you so try your best to avoid her skill-shots and therefore giving her tonnes of free harass. She can still hit you hard even under your tower. Farm as much as you safely can and you can try to abuse her cooldowns [especially her (E)] should she miss a spell on you. Try to keep your (E) to use in order to avoid her ultimate, but be sure to time it after the balls are moving to ensure it consume it's cooldown. After level 6 this lane become a lot easier as you can now burst her down, especially with some jungler help.”
Forscythe says “Another crazy lane pusher like Seraphine. Don't try to trade with her if you don't have level advantage or lead. Just push lane with your Passive + Q and push lane under her turret. Then poke her.”
Reason97 says “This matchup can be tricky, and come's down a lot to who's more comfortable on their champ. technically, Syndra has more poke then you, but you're Q+E combo has the potential to be a more lethal poke, so try to just avoid her ranges unless you're abilities are up. Also, her R can melt you, but it has a super short range. Same tip, just stay at a distance until you're ready to put some hurt on her.
”
xAsuta says “One of the hardest Threat since she can keep you on distance and has high damage. Try to build hexdrinker early to get some MR and AD. Maybe you should rush Mercs right after.”
Fadedreformed says “Pretty even , try avoiding getting hit by her q's but the major concern here is to not get hit by her e or else she is gonna chunk your hp . Mercury's is good here also if you want to win the lane, you outscale so don't worry”
Shock_101 says “Dodge her qs, bait her to use them early game. She gets her first power spike at lost chapter, so abuse her before she gets that. Her spells cost a lot of mana early, so I would heavily consider going in in these scenarios: No mana, low hp, level 3. At level 3, you win fights, just bait her e first with a q auto or something. ”
DaggerTV_ says “Syndra can easily outmanage you with her balls, but if you manage to position yourself out of stun, you can deal major damage. Be careful for late however, since she can outdamage you with just her ult”
Yuki H. says “She isn't a difficult matchup if you're able to dodge her abilities, but it's obviously easier said than done. If you can, though, it's a really easy lane- just watch out for junglers. You can dodge her ult and/or stun with your ult, making it easy to win duels at level 6.”
Veralion says “HoB/DH/beads. A bad Syndra is food. A good one will be very annoying with her stuns, and turn the lane into a chess match of positioning. Dodging QE is easy. Dodging QWE is tougher. Dodging EWQ is impossible. Against a good Syndra, never walk up to her E range or expect to be chunked out of lane. Make sure to bait and juke Q before going in for farm. Keep in mind that her damage and mana were just buffed a fair bit, so the lane is a little tougher than it used to be. Her ult balls do more damage, as does her max rank Q. Remember this once she's level 9 and don't get lazy with your jukes. Her E can instantly disengage your all in, but if you catch her with your ult's damage and follow up E you will do enough to threaten a kill with your second E and flash. Only engage her while very healthy. You just need to survive her full combo. Her cooldowns are long enough that she’s helpless afterwards. ”
Man0Vit0r says “[Eng]: Syndra can easily poke you to a safe distance, besides using your stun to drive you away and make you more vulnerable to ganks
[BR]: A Syndra pode facilmente te pokear a uma distância segura, além de usar seu atordoamento para te afastar e te tornar mais vulnerável a ganks.”
vuty2002 says “Although you can block her E with your Wind Wall, it's very unpredictable so you should save it to block her Ultimate instead.
You should play safe mid-game as her Q damage is very big and you can't block it”
xSealed says “Syndra has a better ability range against Lissandra and also a poke/burst type. Meanwhile, Lissandra can avoid taking damage from Syndra's ult by casting Lissandra's ult to herself but doing that will only mean a death as well. Having that Banshee's Veil and Mercury's Treads might help you to win against Syndra.”
LinCass says “Should start Q and put 3 or 4 points of it early on instead of E, to make sure you have an easier time in laning phase.
Similar to orianna, learning how to space/tether around syndra's q is going to be vital, always watch where she has her balls on the ground and be conscious of when she can land the Stun(E) onto you, try to bait it out, and then abuse her as you may when its on cooldown, dont just let her play up when her E is down.”
Zoe Sparklepop says “Definition of not fun.
Due to her range, She forces you to build a campfire and have a tea party under your tower yet she still gets to poke at you, this doesn't let you roam which is a big part of Annie's strength.
If you're struggling, go for a Banshee's and beg for ganks since she's immobile and can't really do much about it other than E and run.”
snukumz says “Play safe when playing against Syndra, her Q's do a lot of damage and it's a lot easier for her to land her Q than it is for her to land yours.
If she does pretty you then try to Q her, or even knock her up and combo her, she'll take a ton of damage and have to play more carefully.
Try to push waves and make her wave clear since that'll make her use abilities on waves and not on you.
Watch out for her stun, if she stuns you she can combo you before you have a chance to respond.
Run barrier and you should be able to survive if you aren't too low on HP.
You can combo kill her but her long range stun can stop your ultimate. ”
GrayRiver says “"This lane is a NIGHTMARE pre level 6. She massively outranges you so try your best to avoid her skill-shots. Avoid giving her free harass. She can still hit you hard even under your tower. Farm as much as you safely can and you can try to abuse her cooldowns [especially her (E)] should she miss a spell on you. After level 6 this lane become a lot easier as you can now burst her down 100-0, especially with some jungler help." FalleN3”
FROMENXD says “You won't win this lane easy. She can deny any all in you make with her e. Look to play around vision and shove her in and dodge abilities, if not possible call your jungler to help you.”
1256 says “very annoying in lane, has enough burst to kill you, q q q q, you outscale so play it smart, her cd on e is very high at first lvl (18) so you can run her down after 6 with abit of help from your jungler maybe, she scales well too though so be careful
fleet+dom”
AZIR MEN says “Honestly, fuck this champion. I myself am very inconsistent against her. Try to dodge her balls and her stun. If you get stunned say bye to half your HP or even a one shot.
Take comet or conq”
Pentakai says “Tough lane. Block her Q damage with your Q. Try to get as many minions as possible. After level 11, you win and outscale her. Start Doran's Shield.”
gonzales1 says “This is pretty hard matchup also always start corruptions and try to bait her E always. Her E lvl 1 is 20 second so you can make a play while it is on cdr. Build edge of night 2nd item might help u vs her for your all in. Always keep in mind where enemy jungler is because with syndra you are a free kill p much.”
PepeOnDrugs says “This lane is a NIGHTMARE pre level 6. She massively outranges you so try your best to avoid her skill-shots. Avoid giving her free harass. She can still hit you hard even under your tower. Farm as much as you safely can and you can try to abuse her cooldowns [especially her (E)] should she miss a spell on you. After level 6 this lane become a lot easier as you can now burst her down 100-0, especially with some jungler help.
”
Lobban says “Syndra has extreme early poke. But at 6 you pretty much counter her with your ult. For example, when syndra goes for an all in ult her to cancel her ultimate. But she can also shut your all in down by E+Flashing away.”
Hyu Mungus says “Extremely annoying and unfun to play vs. Go D shield and try to not get stunned. If you get stunned you can't dodge ult with pool. Play for late, you outscale.”
Gageowago says “You can avoid her stun by watching where she moves relative to her orbs. It is easier to avoid when you are directly mirroring her since being on the opposite side of the map will allow Syndra to clear the wave while also hitting you easily. If you are too close she will still knock you back and microstun. Watch for her E Q W combo because she gets an instant stun that will half health you. Keep your distance to avoid being hit by it and keep your eye on her orbs. If her stun is down you can win trades with standard E Q W. Past level 6 you should be very cautious about being low in lane. If you get stunned and you are below 40% health then I would not recommend flashing away since you'll just end up wasting it, and ulting away gives you a chance of avoiding her ult while saving your flash, or at least getting her to pop flash to reach you with her ult. At level 9 her Q does increased damage so take greater care to avoid her orbs. Consider purchasing an early Null-Magic to survive her all in combo.”
topal says “it might feel super hard to play against her. but after you get your protobelt you can roam and problem's solved!She has good kill pressure on you so be carefull and don't E onto her cause she can E you back and get an 100-0 trade.”
Papapostolou says “Same much up. Try to just avoid her R with your W (Sanguine pool) but still don't understimate her damage. If enemy jg gank, try to keep your w (Sanguine pool) for Syndra's R.”
Lil Tidepod says “Going against a Syndra is either you win or you don't. If you dodge her stun, engage on her. If you don't, you're probably dead after she gets level six. Just constantly side step anything that you think she might throw. If you're aware, you win this lane. If you're not, you lose it. Nothing you can do about it other than pay attention.”
Fhizzikx says “Syndra has lots of burst and poke. If she gets a lead then she can oneshot you sooner or later. Look to flash her e if getting hit by that will kill you. If you manage to dodge it then look for an all in since her e is the only thing that can put you into cc.”
Capparelli says “No matter how well you play this lane Syndra presses R and you're dead with enough spheres, after she uses E you have an opening, don't miss it, Hexdrinker if you think you'll need it, Tiamat if you just plan to avoid her and roam.”
Giurg says “I personally hate this matchup. She has very good CC and high burst damage with her ult. Try and avoid her stun, poke her and go all in when she's low and you should kill her just alright.”
TJ3030p says “Not Hard to kill just annoying. Never take trades unless you hit your q and just try to roam if you can't seem to get on them. If they blow their e just murder them.”
BigBushMan says “Syndra is really busted atm due to the damage she puts out, but making sure she can't control the wave is large as if she has lane control she can look to oneshot you under turret, so try to match her waveclear, as you are really one of the only champions in mid who can. Poking and avoiding her E is the main way to win. ”
ahrienthusiastmain says “Ahri vs syndra is a skill matchup. you have to dodge her skillshots and shove in the wave because she outranges you. Your mana sustain is better than hers before lost chapter. ”
serruh says “one of the top meta mid champions, S+++ tier after half a year, out ranges you, out damages you, etc
not really much you can dodge either since she can easily burst you with a couple of Qs and ult(even with mercs). look to buy mercs early, get banshees if she keeps hitting stuns on you. also get catalyst fairly early as well since every bit of hp helps”
Miandros says “Syndra's only a threat to you if she lands her stun. Use your E to dodge her ult or her stun depending on the situation and just remain mobile. She's all skillshots except her ult.”
Kami_EU says “Even matchup, a good Syndra won't die to Yasuo.
With unsuspecting dashes Yasuo can dodge the damage of Syndra's Q.
Mercury's Treads for Yasuo mean that Syndra can't chain her Q E combo with her R, since the stun duration is cut and you can W to negate her R damage.
”
kujosrevenge says “Easy peasy matchup. You can W and outsustain her poke with your corrupting pots, biscuits, and time-warp tonic. Should be easy level 2 kill and you should snowball way past her from there, but past level 6, still do care for her R ability.”
SQBv2 says “You need to fight her at a distance, dont get in range of her ult, harass her down with your E, place your W, R and walk away and let the ult do its damage over time, before landing the E as a finishing blow.
Dodge her E, as long as she misses her E, you are fine to go for an all in.”
ur_mom_gay says “Similar to Orianna matchup. If you dodge the stun you can all in and pick up her summs if not a kill. Don't get poked down, or you may be forced to back. Her damage with R + ignite can be deceptive.”
KC_Toxic says “You can chase her half the game and destroy her hopes for life. care for e stun and all ins with her jungle. Because her e is a great way to setup ganks.”
chrisloths says “Not super difficult. As long as you avoid her stun, you can out-poke her in lane. If she full engages with a jungler, counter engage with your ultimate.”
Witchxry says “Syndra isn't too bad as long as you dodge her orbs when she shoves them at you, otherwise you will be stunned. She lacks mobility, so harass that if she steps out.”
Sloyr says “All of the mages are really easy to counter, you just have to dodge their CCs with your E or wait for them to waste it, to then go all in.”
Yas Yasu Yasuo says “Point and click ult is unable to be dodged except using your ult, her ult does more damage than you thinks so I would prefer dodging her ult rather than her stun/knockback. Get Hexdrinker when behind. As always flying champion are hard to hit.”
HottestFapper NA says “You need jungle to do anything in this lane, but even still it's better to just take the dicking and help your team out. You're not killing this bitch.”
Gogicha55 says “Her poke and range is insane, if she's good and doesn't come too close and die like most syndras try to shove and roam cuz there's not much you will be able to do”
Daedralus says “Has more range than other champions and a very fast stun that can get you off guard. If that happens, you are likely to not have your E up and thus be bursted down by her following up combo. If you manage to ult her when she ults, your life steal can be enough to save you, but as most champs are now likely to build morello, you probably will die. So press E ASAP if you see her ult coming and ult her in any case. A follow up Q might just be enough to save your HP and even burst her down but avoid trades and only go for all ins. This should be your playstyle in most situations anyway where you go fo the Ult + Q + AA + gunblade (keep to last as it is ranged and slows for potentially catch up). Any squishy or non tanky champ is very likely to die from this if they have no one around to back them up. ”
CyanBlade says “just play like a girl under tower, this match-up is so bad that i can't actually think of worse match-up for Talon, she will stun u, poke u and it will be a pain in the ass :/
”
Tehqo says “It's sad that she actually outranges you. She has no mobility though which is a plus. Use that. You probably won't be able to outpoke her, she'll most likely be the one outpoking you.”
NebuIa says “Syndra is extremely oppressive early. If she plays it correctly you shouldn't be able to trade into her level 1, so don't try. Corrupting pot helps a lot. Try barrier, as most Syndras in solo queue go ignite. Just very oppressive.”
TheBlueImperial says “Incredibly hard to get onto because of her knockback, if you manage to bait it out though you have a window of opportunity to kill her.”
Je Suis Azir says “She is a great foe for you. You need to rush Merc Treads so that her combo doesn't fuck you up too fast. Be mindful of her Qs because she can E and set up perfectly to get ganked, or just combo you to fucking death. Plus side is, after about Mid Game, you just fucking ruin her if you play well.”
Henriksen says “Easy to kill, just R bubble, then paddle star her ass and ur good.
Be careful if ur only doing it for trades cuz if she lands her stun after your done poking then you can get fked”
vaske_lol says “Don't try to ult on top of syndra if she has her E up. You will take a large amount of damage and she will be able to back off for free. Try to stall untill you get your powerspike. She is immobile so if she burns her flash and her E she is a free gank for your jungler.
If you are chasing her, you can buffer your ult while she is throwing her E onto you to gapclose on top of her through the knockback. Never underestimate her burst!”
Aizenvolt says “Its a skill matchup she has insane burst and quite a poke. Play safe and poke her from distance. Dont be too aggresive after 6 in laning phase because she can kill you in an instant with her combo if you make a wrong move. Save your ult and when she has 30-35% hp and you have at least 4 stacks on e go in with a full combo(ult on her then e then q and last w). ”
DravensBukkake says “Ignite matchup.
Levels 1 and 2, bully her like how you got bullied in 2nd grade playground. Don't let her farm. W AA for one Q trade is ALWAYS worth, as you have higher kill potential pre 6. After 3, make sure you're not infront of both her balls and her, or else she can throw balls harder than Team Liquid could in CSGO, and stun you for big burst trades you can't match.
You win by small W Q AA poke trades, dodge her stun. Past 6, you can't 1v1 her easily, but she's free 300g when you shuffle to jungler.”
Mid Win Repeat says “I've personally never had any trouble with Syndra. Its a very basic match up it wouldn't hurt to rush mercs here. If you land your combo you win if she lands hers she wins simple as that. If you go banshees as well than its GG.”
spark2 says “I actually haven't played against many Syndras recently. Her E can mess up your Q-Es and her harass is constant, but you can rewind through her ult and cause it to completely miss--watch for when all of her balls go towards her (as seen in the Champion spotlight!)”
HeisendongNA says “Her strong early game, good waveclear and ability to move Heimer's turrets make her perfect counter to Heimerdinger. Best advice is to max W first and leave Q at rank 1 and use them defensively: place them in the bush like a ward; take barrier or exhaust and build MR: mercury's treads and banshees offer enough MR to make you almost unkillable for Syndra until she gets her Void Staff. If you play safe and don't let her kill you you can survive this lane. Also ask your jungler or support for a gank, most Syndras push lane and Syndra can't escape ganks without burning her flash. After that she is a free kill every time your jungler have time.”
Cloud375 says “She has the better range and damage, especially when she hits 6. Better to ask the jungler for help if you don't think you can do it by yourself. Otherwise, if the Syndra dies to you early, you can attempt to snowball hard on her. Still not an easy matchup post-6.”
SirZeros says “Syndra is pretty much the same as Orianna, but she is harder to lane against, since she has a much tougher early-mid-game than Ori. Don't try to fight her too many times, unless you're ahead. Against Syndra, don't try to counter her ult by ulting yourself, since your ult is way slower than hers, but keep in mind that Barrier can be very to counter her ult!”
Euphoric Toaster says “Everyone thinks Syndra is a counterpick to Heimer, but shes really not. She can use W + Q to kill 2 of your turrets but that costs her 100+ mana compared to your 40, so she will just run out of mana doing this and it leaves her without some cooldowns for a short while. In lane, just don't stand behind her Dark Spheres and just be wary of of her looking for all-in attempts with her combo. Once she gets some items she can likely flash stun oneshot you with her combo, so a second item Banshee's Veil is a great buy if she starts doing this. Cleanse is also a good option, but i tend to just prefer the Barrier + Banshee's Veil (if needed) combo. Also, if Syndra is picked AFTER you pick Heimerdinger, it is likely someone trying to counterpick you, which usually results in a free lane for you because they don't know how to play Syndra and they think its a free lane for them, which it isn't.”
J Husky says “This bish has a lot of range with her abilities so she will be harder to trade. Use your W to dodge her ulti, but that won't save you in late, because she can oneshot you with a combo. And if she ults you and your W is on CD, say goodbye.”
Chromuro says “She can Q (or QW) your passive and oneshot the voidlings (and they can be targeted by the W too), E has too much range and R is a death sentence; my standard ban. If it happens to have this matchup, stay 50 meters away from the balls, stay under tower and pray whatever god you believe in. Your best chance to kill her (without trading kills) is when her R is down.”
Full Metal Jayce says “Syndra Is without a doubt the hardest matchup for Jayce mid because she can control lane with ease and has a disengage / stun combo that a good Syndra can never miss if done right allowing her to setup her combo nuking you.”
Big Shawn says “Normally should be a win. Save your W (Windwall) for her E Ability and her Ultimate. You will save yourself a lot of damage and will affect the enemy mentally, meaning that the enemy could get titled.”
SeeEl says “Space her q's and fake out auto attacks to dodge them. Use your e to trade into her abilities and you should just stomp her if you know your ranges and play your luden powerspike correctly. If you die in this lane you will suffer kind of badly”
Fox1ne says “Syndra is my second main,mostly even match up i would say,she can roam and trade you,what you have to take care of mostly is her level 4 trades she has enough damage to trade you,but her early is weak. After 6 her q<r<e combo is really strong so take care of it,you dont want to see yourself in base,re-locate yourself to the same side of her sphere so she won't be able to use q<e or e<q on you and get damaged from all her spells.”
hoppyscotch says “Syndra is just not balanced at the moment, even if she isnt she still does well into yasuo she can q e you and chunk you out and get you off of her. This matchup is good for fleet.”
Patoxic says “Ugh, Hate Syndras they are a very exclusive Heimerdinger ARCH NEMESIS, they can pick yours Turrets and trow them away, like it's nothing even your R, they also burst you with a easy stun and R, very hard lane against need gank pls.”
ZenonZeni says “Syndra a champ that can be outplayed, punish her if she uses her E but otherwise do not try to face her at full HP when she has her ult. She will outtrade you in any 1 vs 1 at full hp. Land a charm and outplay her that way but if she lands her stun you're pretty much died. Banshee's will help cut down damage but that's it.”
Wizboy73 says “try to avoid the stun, take barrier against her ult. if you can stun her shes dead, you can also run her down after she uses her E, but only with a finnished hex core.”
Vispectra says “A burst mage vs the anti mage.
She's a spammy ability champ so while I usually would say max E it won't work that well into her as you might need Q to help survive her trades. Hoping onto her will usually result in either you being pushed back which is fine , or you being stunned which is a lot less fine. Respect her damage but remember to show her that you're no push-over. If her W is on CD hop onto her and she will not be able to do anything about it. Late game a well timed R + Flash W will be enough to kill her.”
Best Akali Fra says “Syndra isn't really showed for the moment... but is Syndra can counter Akali it's because she have a really good poke with all her spells, then she can stells away from you (so you can't try trades on her) and farm with no problems.
Same as with Sylas, ask to your jungler !!”
Xavier Senori says “Syndra is easily Cassiopeia's hardest counter. She outranges, outharasses, and out CCs you in practically every way. She can burst you down before you DPS, and any attempts at following up a Noxious Blast with some Twin Fang's are always met with a stun and a lot of damage. Avoid direct confrontation with her throughout the game, and call for ganks. Late game you will outscale her because you have higher DPS.”
Zeprius says “Also a pain in the ass and i dont think i ever won a lane against her unless the enemy jungle trolls and feeds me..... i would start DShield against her”
kilgta says “frustating lane, you will usually kill her than die to her ult. try to farm and dodge her abilities. Zonhyas very useful. Move a lot and avoid her W early, get to level 3 ASAP and shove lane. start corrupt or sapphire.”
RagexAddict says “Syndra is one of your more easy matchups to take on in lane. Your E can dodge her ultimate as well as any stuns she throws at you. If her stun and/or ultimate is/are on CD, you can take her on easily.”
poolooto says “She can stun you through your minions while you can only charm her when there are no minions. It will be very difficult if you cannot dodge her spells, especially her E. Don't stand behind her balls. ”
LyndonK9 says “Try not to be scared of her. If you play to back she will zone you away from minions and harass you. Build banshee's if you need, and stop-watch or barrier can negate her ult.”
hipstersora says “Long range spells, but shorter autos. Poke with Q and W as much as you can. Watch out for ulti burst, she can kill you if you walk past a bush unsuspecting, BUT IF YOU SEE IT COMING BLOCK IT WITH SERAPH'S MANA SHIELD.”
YourBestSenpai says “Shouldn't be too hard in lane, just try to dodge all her skills and then charm her, or just poke her until she is low enough. Look out for her crazy damage on ult though, would recommend barrier here.”
QuickChicken says “As long as you avoid her stun combo, you should be able to take extended fights with her. Play around your soldiers and sidestep her balls.”
Shderen says “You can actually do quite well against her. Consider Merc treads and constantly watch for their opportunities to stun you. As any of their abilities are down, you can trade with her reasonably well with a Q+E combo. She will be trouble later, so watch out.”
HerrSolahri says “Skill Matchup. Not as easy as it seems. I like to buy sweeper then pretend im roaming against her. Wait in a Brush like Garen Mains and OS her.”
SmokeyEggs says “Very immobile but has a lot of cc, avoid her Q's and try to pay attention to the angles of where she's at because she might E the balls and you will get stunned, your E goes through her's so once you get in and get a good trade.”
BicBee says “Hard to predict her Q. Whenever she misses E is good time to go in and harass/fight. If you're having a hard time look to build magic null into banshees (replaces Zhonyas). She won't be able to 1 shot you if you have early MR. ”
BicBee says “Taking E lv 1 vs Syndra let's you win trades if you have trouble dodging Q. Syndra's E is on a pretty big CD so whenever she misses is a good time to be going in for trades. Try not to stand behind her balls in a linear angle from Syndra because it'll be an easy stun for her. Don't fight her post 6 if she has a lot of balls on the floor. If you're having a tough time buy an early magic null and she won't be able to 1 shot you. Turn that into banshees eventually. ”
AzureArmatt says “Syndra is considered to be Ahri's counterpick, but why? Her point click nuke that can deal insane amount of damage if you let her stack balls about her. She's control mage what means she will try to force you to play her game. Good Syndra will save her stun to the moment you will never expect it or won't be able to avoid it and her balls create constant pressure on you. her kit is so diverse that if she's behind she can play as second support that has dmg too. Overall very dangerous lane that can do many things without making people realize it until it's too late.”
Shaawn says “You can go aggressive whenever her E:Scatter the weak is on CD, because this is the only way she can reliably land her spells on you. Without it she won't be able to keep up with your mobility. Pre-level 6 you can use your wind wall to dodge her E:scatter the weak. Most of her abilities can be dodged with Sweeping blade. After lvl 6 do not use Wind wall to block her Scatter the weak, when her ultimate is up. She gets a huge damage spike when she hits 6, so you always want to save your wind wall for her ultimate.”
Enfurnal says “Against Syndra all you have to do is to dodge her Q, E and W. She might Q E so stay away from her Qs laid down. Careful for her Cheeky Q+E Fast combo. If you are around 25-50% HP try avoiding getting too close to her because if she Q+E fast combos and then R........ RIP you. Okay actually if you have Zhonyas or Banshees that'd be helpful but usually when you are alpha Ahri you should be the one making the plays.”
thedonk says “Going against a Syndra that knows how to use their E against you will be annoying. Make sure you aren't right behind a ball she could E. She can E you before you finish your W animation, so try to bait the E and then jump in. Buying Zhonyas can help with her ult a lot.”
Dudstrol says “Não abuse dela na faze de rotas e nas TFs. Caso perceba que ela vai ultar use seu combo de escudo e em seguida a barreira caso precise. Depois que tiver o escudo do cajado a ult dela não sera tanto problema, mas seu combo sim, então tome cuidado.”
Padrepio says “Long range, but actually low damage champion. If you think she is going to kill you, try to launch everything under her feet: during her R she is immobile.”
Tipurrs says “1 of the 2 Hardest Match-up for Annie. She outranges you hard. She can hit you behind turrets. She's immobile and squishy though so use that to your advantage and call a gank. It is really needed in this match up. Play safe under tower. If she has low MR, wait for her to use her W and then all-in her. Rush boots and Banshee's Veil for more survivability.”
Finish Flash says “You can dodge each of Syndra's abilities with your E, especially her ultimate. Avoid large amounts of harrass when necessary and timing your all-ins well by either using ur E to negate/dodge one of her abilities or initiating with Q if she walks within range. ”
MaybeHope says “This matchup is not that hard as it looks like. It might seem like AAAH WTF ITS A SYNDRA IM GETTING ONESHOTTED, but it's not that bad. Since you have a huge shield on Mantra E you will most likely absord too many damage for her to oneshot you.”
moutenn says “Poke with your basic combo. When she tryes to stun you take your W and start AA her. Then when she R's you R. Also try and engage when she has no balls on the ground.”
qasddsa says “Oppressive laner because of her ability to poke you from long range with strong abilities. Be wary of getting caught by her full spell rotation -- even if it's at low level it can still chunk you for a lot of health. After level 6, the match up becomes a lot easier but you still need to be wary of her stacking up her balls and using a full rotation + ultimate on you. Respect her damage.”
Draczor says “Syndra is very hard to deal with. Basically, dodge all her abilities and especially her stun. It's best to keep a safe distance against her and poke her with your laser. On levels 1 and 2 you should try getting yourself a health advantage by trading with her. Use your abilities against her and run away. If you keep doing this you will have pressure over her. If she is low while you aren't then try to deny her farm by poking her every time when she tries to last hit a minion. If you are able to manage this then you can kill her but it's also quite difficult to do all this while dodging her abilities. If you aren't confident enough then just play it safe while poking with your laser. After level 6 you should not try and trade with her or come close, just farm safely and keep a good distance. If you do end up fighting with her don't stay too long if you can't kill her quick enough, even if you dodge most of her abilities her ultimate will only grow stronger with every Q she does. I recommend taking barrier to survive but teleport is just as good to get back in lane so you don't miss a minion. Buying mercury's treads in this matchup is also recommended unless she sucks.”
rimzaki says “Save ur sanguine pool for her ultimate she can harrash u with ur Q u can lose early trade but she is squishy u can down her easily with ur ultimate combo”
Sozzoh says “Syndra is pretty annoying. Pre-6 is when you should play more aggressive, although she can outpoke you. If you somehow outpoke her and push her under tower, Roam for some kills. Post-6 is when you should play the most passive. Other than that, be careful of her stun.”
Katapullt says “A HEXDRINKER is a good Item choice against her. You can build it 1st and keep it (don't upgrade until she gets very fed). Don't line up with her Q's -> she will E and stun you and will try to iniciate a gank.”
Prenora says “Syndra can be a real pain, with her long range harass, strong wave clear, and the ability to knock you out of your ult, best thing to do is again just farm from a distance and keep your wave centered. she is pretty squishy so you can poke her down as much as she can you, look to out lane her, because in a battle of ultimates, she always wins”
undeadsoldiers says “Syndra is an annoying lane bully, but if you manage to land your bubble she's absolutely screwed.
She'll push you in and poke you with Q spam and W, and try to combo you with QE. Punish her if/when she goes OOM.
After level 6, watch her orbs on the ground. The more she has, the more her ult hurts.
Suggested: Nullifying Orb, Barrier”
macspam says “Very strong champ, quite similar to Veigar in fact, except her CC is a little less reliable. Buy MR and just try to keep an eye on where her spheres are.”
ZF.PandaYang says “Her Q allows her to prepare for her other abilities and poke you freely out of your range. her W slows you down and sets up for an easy E which will stun and/or slow you, try not to get ulted, get Hexdrinker and Mercury's treads ASAP”
wo xiang zhaoo says “Buy MR Boots and she is no problem anymore, if you dodge her E while R to her, she's dead. If you don't dodge, she can't kill you, but you get unnecessary damage.”
Eccentrik says “Let's say she's annoying because of her Q's poking you down to size. Just predict her movements and be cautious if she's overextending, its never a good sign for you if she overextends.”
AQRC Turtle says “Stay away from your minions she's gonna try to harass while farming the waves. Also be patient using R. It can deny most of syndra ult.”
Smol Jelly says “Balls everywhere. Syndra's a lot to keep track of, and her stun is fast. Her skills have range comparable to yours. Keep track of the amount of balls she has summoned, so you can use your W to negate some of her Ult damage accordingly. Take another defensive spell, like heal or barrier.”

Tips Against Syndra in Bottom Lane Tips Provided by MOBAFire Guide Authors
BloxNaderYT says “Syndra bot lane results in Kai'Sa not being able to dodge the main damage threat even with alot of mobility, and in the late game Kai'Sa can be vulnerable to one shots”
Deathfeather says “She has good poke, and burst with a little cc. You can dodge most of her stuff however, and shes not very mobile. Uses a lot of mana too.”
minepro221 says “The mage bot lane are very oppresive. Do not fight them unless their cc is down, and they get caught by your support. If you have to give up cs to not get cced, so be it. If your sup get cc, he is dead. Just heal him and walk away. You should not fight her early unless she get caught and have no spells. If you don't feed, you outscale”
minepro221 says “She represents a group of mage bot laners, such as lux, xerath, ahri, ect. They are extremely oppresive in lane, so don't get in range of their cc. If you lose cs because of this, so be it. It is better than dying. If they waste key ability, like syndra stun or ahri charm, it is your opportunity to take a small trade with your support. The moral is, respect their damage, and only trade when their key damage is down. You will outscale, so don't worry if you are down some cs.”
