How to Play with Akali as Syndra in LoL

The Syndra Akali synergy stats shown here demonstrate the areas of her gameplay that do better (or worse) when paired with Akali, compared to her overall stats. Significant differences are areas of focus that highlight how her gameplay changes when paired with this other champion.

Overall, Syndra sees a large worsening in her KDA (ratio of kills and assists to deaths) when paired with Akali. His KDA decreased from NaN to NaN. This fall shows that Akali helps Syndra perform not as well in competitive LoL rounds. Yet, the small difference demonstrates that this performance change is not very impactful.

When Syndra is an ally to Akali, she observes a little decrease in her total damage output. This change could indicate that Akali doesn't help protection for her to dish out more damage or that her allyship also helps extend the match's duration. Similarly, when Syndra is played alongside Akali on the same team, he usually scores many fewer killing sprees compared to when she plays on his own. This is contrasting evidence that she is worse when playing with Akali.

Moreover, when Syndra plays with Akali on the same team, she on average takes a little more damage than when she fights alone. Receiving more damage could mean that Akali does a poor job of covering Syndra in teamfights.

Is Syndra better when played alongside Akali?

There is no ideal champion pairing for Syndra that will always be her best ally. However, Akali is a terrible ally for Syndra. By being on the same side as Syndra, she lowers their win rate by -4.8% to 43.9%. This shows that there is a very bad bond between Syndra and Akali that allows them to perform worse together than alone.

Akali has a lower difficulty than Syndra. That means you don't need to be very careful when finding Akali allies to fight alongside, as they will need a lower level of skill to fight well with you.

Working together, Syndra players should see an overall large increase in your team’s capability to deal magical damage. Together, these champs are able to dish out a surprising amount of magic type damage.

Conversely, by grouping Syndra and Akali together, you will not be granting your side a lot of tankyness. Plan to have other champs on your team that nullifies this relative hole in their capabilities.

Regardless of your Akali ally's skill level, you should focus on increasing your gold income, outlasting your enemies, and clearing objectives. If you follow these simple suggestions, you will do well anyway.
