The Irelia versus Syndra matchup in the mid lane is favorable with proper positioning. Use your statistical advantage and prevent the opponent from realizing their potential.
Except for rare builds, Irelia deals physical damage. Focus on eliminating enemy carries. Meanwhile, Syndra deals primarily magic damage (87.00%), additional magic resistance may be required.
Consider the farming superiority demonstrated by Syndra, ranking 8th (versus 14th for Irelia) in farming efficiency among champions in this role. This means the opponent can build gold advantages more quickly. Meanwhile, their higher KDA (2.3 versus 1.6) suggests they participate more effectively in team fights.
Despite the statistical advantage in the matchup, overconfidence can be the main mistake. It is important for the Irelia player to maintain constant pressure on Syndra, not allowing the opponent to safely scale up, and actively use the advantage gained to help their team.
