Kayle vs Brand Matchup Summary

The Kayle vs Brand matchup is a decisive matchup in League of Legends ranked play. Based on 21 recent matches analyzed, Brand wins with a 57.1% win rate compared to Kayle's 42.9%, giving Brand a 14.3 percentage point advantage. Brand dominates at every stage — from early laning through late game team fights. This consistent advantage makes it difficult for Kayle players to find favorable windows, so team-dependent strategies and avoiding solo confrontations are essential. The most significant statistical gap is in crowd control, where Brand leads by 1.2s CC/min — a difference that heavily influences the outcome of trades and skirmishes. Brand has a strong advantage in this matchup. Kayle players should play defensively, prioritize safe farming under tower, and look for opportunities created by jungle pressure or Brand overextending. Avoid prolonged trades and wait for team fights where positioning and coordination matter more. Understanding these matchup dynamics is essential for champion select decisions and in-game strategy when facing this lane opponent.

0.3Kayle
1.4Brand
Brand brings significantly more crowd control than Kayle, with 1.2 more seconds of CC per minute. This large utility gap makes Brand far more valuable in setting up jungle ganks, controlling objectives, and locking down targets in team fights.

Sustain
805Kayle
