This matchup is highly skill based, you MUST dodge her charm, otherwise you will most likely die.
Take advantage of her pre-6 by constantly harassing her. Try to get level 6 first, as this will allow you to get a kill easily.
Once Ahri gets level 6 be extremely careful as her ultimate makes it very difficult for you to land your abilities.
Summary: Abuse pre-6 and after level 6 be careful of ultimate.
Akali
Akali is a very hard matchup for Syndra.
Pre-6 Syndra can easily bully Akali out of lane and deny farm, however after level 6 Akali's ultimate has too much range for Syndra to be able to harrass her without being jumped upon, and Akali's base ability stats are enough to take Syndra out, and Syndra's W and E do not grant vision of Akali when she is in stealth.
Summary: Avoid this matchup, after level 6 you cannot win. When Akali R's, you cannot just W her away as she can have up to 3 charges.
Anivia
Pre level 6 Syndra can bully Anivia alot. Syndra's range is much larger than Anivia and Anivia's base health is very low so poking her is very effective. 3 Q's and 3 autoattacks and Anivia's potions are gone. Also, Syndra can push Anivia into the turret pre-6 and it is very difficult to farm under turret as Anivia at early levels. At level 6 you can 100-0 Anivia.
Summary: Beware of the Egg. Syndra can bully Anivia very hard. Anivia will require jungler attention. Easy for Syndra.
Annie
Extremely easy lane for Syndra.
Annie's range is very short, so Syndra can harass Annie for free.
Beware of level 6: Annie can Flash Tibbers and get you very low with her combo.
Late game stay away from Annie as she will be able to 100-0 you with her combo.
Summary: Easy in lane (free harass), late game can delete you from the map if not careful.
Brand
I personally HATE this matchup. Brands poke with his W and passive can out-trade Syndra at early levels and the radius of the circle of Brands W is a lot larger than Syndra's Q.
Summary: Avoid this matchup. (I HATE IT)
Fizz
This matchup is extremely skill based. Fizz's gap closers make it difficult for Syndra to land her abilities, however if she does, then she can win trades. It is hard to avoid being engaged by a fizz. Stay out of range of his Q, however he can E,Q,W,R and do lots of damage. To counter this try to stun him when he is mid-Q. Levels 1-2 harass him a lot, but beware of his powerspikes at level 3 and 6.
Summary: Skill matchup, stay out of range of Q, beware levels 3 and 6
Heimerdinger
Extremely easy.
W and Mini Turrets - nuff' said.
Karma
This is an unknown counter to Syndra.
Karma's Q outranges Syndra's Q, Karma can easily dodge Syndra's abilities with movement speed from her E, and Karma's E also negates all damage at early levels of 1 Syndra Q.
Summary: Avoid this matchup, Karma can outpoke Syndra, and set up ganks easily with W.
Karthus
Karthus' and Syndra's Q very similar range, however Karthus is extremely squishy and very volatile to stuns. Syndra can easily 100-0 Karthus at level 6 with ease.
Summary: Very easy for Syndra. Harass is alot stronger and there is a lot of kill pressure.
Kassadin
Pre-6 Syndra can beat Kassadin, however after level 6 Kassadin has so much mobility.
Summary: Do not Q until Kassadin has Riftwalked onto you, as you need to stun Kassadin as soon as he engages onto you.
I would avoid this matchup.
Katarina
This is a very skill based matchup.
Katarina can dodge Q's and farm effectively. However, Syndra has a knockback/stun to cancel Katarina's ultimate.
Summary: Do not W until Katarina Ultimates. Avoid farming with W and stun Katarina when she E's onto you.
Kayle
Complete counter to kayle.
Kayle cannot go near you.
People say that Kayle's ult counters your ult, it does in the late game, however in-lane Syndra can counter the counter.
Summary: Only ult Kayle when you stun her (so she cannot ult your ult). Stay out of range of Kayle and harass a lot. She cannot go near you.
Lux
Syndra cannot harass Lux that well as Lux can return more damage. Lux outranges Syndra.
Summary: Avoid poke and try to harass. Wait for Q to be down.
Orianna
Very easy. Orianna is very immobile.
However, late game Orianna's ult is a lot more impactful as it causes a lot of disruption.
Summary: Orianna cannot poke you as she is easily out-traded by Syndra. Harass as much as possible.
Talon
AVOID.
That's all I'm going to say...
(Silence = OP)
Yasuo
Relatively easy for Syndra. You can deny farm from Yasuo. Stun when he comes near you.
Summary: Harass him when he is trying to farm. Make sure you ult when his wind-wall is down, or when you stun him!
Ziggs
Avoid Ziggs poke. Buy boots first if you are bad at dodging. If Ziggs plays extremely safe, push him into turret and harass under turret to deny farm. Long range stun at level 6 to 100-0 him with your combo.
Summary: Outfarm, dodge Q's. Long range stun level 6 to 100-0.
