Current meta showdown: LeBlanc (4.9% pick rate, 12th most popular out of 61 Mid champions) versus Syndra (4.8%, 13th place). These two mid lane titans clash constantly, making matchup mastery a decisive factor in your climb. Even tiers, uneven results: Both champions sit at B+-tier, but LeBlanc claims a meaningful 52.4% vs 47.6% advantage. LeBlanc's kit synergizes better in this specific head-to-head matchup. Optimize for consistency: Electrocute paired with Sudden Impact (51.1% win rate, 86.1% popularity) provides the stats you need, while the item sequence Luden's Companion > Shadowflame > Mejai's Soulstealer with Sorcerer's Shoes delivers 70%+ win rate against Syndra.

Win through macro: LeBlanc takes the matchup (52.44%) despite falling behind in CS (5.47 vs 6.23/min). Your victories come through roaming, team fighting, and map pressure rather than 1v1 lane dominance. Complete superiority: LeBlanc dominates both win rate (52.4%) and damage output (883 vs 861/min, 2nd among Mid). The 22 damage/min difference creates massive snowball potential.

How to Beat Syndra as LeBlanc (Mid)

The LeBlanc versus Syndra matchup in the mid lane is favorable with proper positioning. Use your statistical advantage and prevent the opponent from realizing their potential.

The magic damage that LeBlanc deals remains relevant in the late game. Look for opportunities to initiate or counter-initiate. Meanwhile, Syndra deals primarily magic damage (87.24%), additional magic resistance may be required.

Consider the farming superiority demonstrated by Syndra, ranking 40th (versus 58th for LeBlanc) in farming efficiency among champions in this role. This means the opponent can build gold advantages more quickly. Meanwhile, their lower KDA (2.3 versus 2.8) suggests they are less effective in team fights.

Key aspects of the LeBlanc Mid versus Syndra Mid matchup

Despite the statistical advantage in the matchup, overconfidence can be the main mistake. It is important for the LeBlanc 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.
