Kayle vs Mordekaiser Matchup Summary

The Kayle vs Mordekaiser matchup is a decisive matchup in League of Legends ranked play. Based on 218 recent matches analyzed, Kayle wins with a 55.3% win rate compared to Mordekaiser's 44.7%, giving Kayle a 10.6 percentage point advantage. Game phase dynamics play a critical role here: Mordekaiser controls the early laning stage, but Kayle outscales as the game goes longer. The matchup shifts dramatically depending on game length — Mordekaiser 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 sustain, where Mordekaiser leads by 1,068 HP/min — a difference that heavily influences the outcome of trades and skirmishes. Kayle players can confidently pick into Mordekaiser and play aggressively from level 1. Look to establish lane dominance early through favorable trades and zone Mordekaiser away from CS whenever possible. Understanding these matchup dynamics is essential for champion select decisions and in-game strategy when facing this lane opponent.

Mordekaiser dominates the early game (first 15 minutes) with a commanding 55.3% win rate — a 10.6 percentage point lead over Kayle. This lopsided early game means Mordekaiser 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 63.4% win rate — 26.8 points above Mordekaiser. 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: Mordekaiser 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.
