Kayle vs Gragas Matchup Summary

The Kayle vs Gragas matchup is a decisive matchup in League of Legends ranked play. Based on 22 recent matches analyzed, Kayle wins with a 63.6% win rate compared to Gragas's 36.4%, giving Kayle a 27.3 percentage point advantage. Game phase dynamics play a critical role here: Gragas controls the early laning stage, but Kayle outscales as the game goes longer. The matchup shifts dramatically depending on game length — Gragas needs to press advantages before Kayle reaches their power spikes, while Kayle should focus on safe farming and hitting key item breakpoints. The most significant statistical gap is in crowd control, where Gragas leads by 1.1s CC/min — a difference that heavily influences the outcome of trades and skirmishes. Kayle players can confidently pick into Gragas and play aggressively from level 1. Look to establish lane dominance early through favorable trades and zone Gragas away from CS whenever possible. Understanding these matchup dynamics is essential for champion select decisions and in-game strategy when facing this lane opponent.

Damage
757Kayle
894Gragas
Gragas heavily out-damages Kayle by 137 DMG/min, dominating both short trades and all-in fights. Kayle should avoid extended combat and instead focus on burst trade patterns — short engages followed by immediate disengagement — to avoid letting Gragas's sustained damage advantage take over.

13,271Kayle
13,481Gragas
Kayle and Gragas generate nearly equal gold per game, with just a 210 gold difference. Neither champion has a clear economic advantage, so gold leads will depend on individual play quality, kill participation, and objective contributions.
Utility
0.3Kayle

Gragas brings significantly more crowd control than Kayle, with 1.1 more seconds of CC per minute. This large utility gap makes Gragas far more valuable in setting up jungle ganks, controlling objectives, and locking down targets in team fights.

Sustain
752Kayle
1,488Gragas
Gragas vastly out-sustains Kayle, healing and mitigating 736 more damage per minute. This massive durability gap means Gragas can absorb significant punishment and remain in lane while Kayle is forced to recall.

Gragas dominates the early game (first 15 minutes) with a commanding 75.0% win rate — a 50.0 percentage point lead over Kayle. This lopsided early game means Gragas can dictate the pace of the lane from level 1, controlling trades, wave state, and river priority.

Kayle is far superior in the late game (25+ minutes), boasting a 85.7% win rate — 71.4 points above Gragas. Extended games heavily favor Kayle, whose kit and scaling make them a dominant force in team fights and objective control.

This matchup features a dramatic power shift: Gragas must aggressively press their early advantage and close out the game before Kayle reaches their scaling breakpoints. If Kayle survives the laning phase without falling too far behind, the matchup flips in their favor. Dragon and Rift Herald control are pivotal — the team that secures early objectives can snowball or buy time to scale.
