Leblanc Win Condition

This is your bread and butter matchup. You win by recognizing that you have the advantage because you understand the matchup better than she does, meaning there are "no real counter picks" in that regard. Your objective is to secure a clean CS lead and utilize the mobility to avoid her damage.

Syndra Win Condition

Syndra wins if she secures a stable lane and manages to hit you with her full damage rotation. She primarily wins if she takes Bone Plating (which she often fails to do in lower elos), as that makes trading significantly harder for you.

General Strategy

Because she often makes the "rookie mistake" of not running Bone Plating, trading for you will be quite easy. The goal is to maximize pressure immediately with the Electrocute + Teleport setup. Use your lane priority to constantly look to impact skirmishes around the map.

Trading Patterns

You should aim for a quick 100-to-zero oriented trade after Level 2. You must bait out herSyndra QQ first before trading to make your engagement better. The key is to constantly take high-percentage plays and trades all the time to keep her under pressure.

If she uses her ultimate to shut you down, you must rely on your team to win the objective (Leblanc EE. g. , Drake) while you sacrifice the tempo, as her ultimate is temporary.

Wave Management

You should prioritize getting a slow wave stack up at Level 1 to ensure a favorable stack for Level 2. Constantly maintain lane control and pressure. If you see a play developing on the map, you can hard push the wave to ensure you get a move timer.

If she uses her ultimate to shut you down, you must rely on your team to win the objective (Leblanc EE. g. , Drake) while you sacrifice the tempo, as her ultimate is temporary.
