Based on 88 recent matches analyzed, Fiddlesticks wins with a 50.0% win rate compared to Kayn's 50.0%, giving Fiddlesticks a 0.0 percentage point advantage. Game phase dynamics play a critical role here: Fiddlesticks controls the early laning stage, but Kayn outscales as the game goes longer.

Trade when cooldowns are favorable, track the enemy jungler, and build toward your strongest item spikes to convert the slight advantage into a decisive lead. Understanding these matchup dynamics is essential for champion select decisions and in-game strategy when facing this lane opponent.
