Kayle vs Vi Matchup Summary

The Kayle vs Vi matchup is a decisive matchup in League of Legends ranked play. Based on 6 recent matches analyzed, Vi wins with a 66.7% win rate compared to Kayle's 33.3%, giving Vi a 33.3 percentage point advantage. Game phase dynamics play a critical role here: Vi controls the early laning stage, but Kayle outscales as the game goes longer. The matchup shifts dramatically depending on game length — Vi 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 Vi leads by 0.6s CC/min — a difference that heavily influences the outcome of trades and skirmishes. Vi 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 Vi 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.

Vi dominates the early game (first 15 minutes) with a commanding 66.7% win rate — a 33.3 percentage point lead over Kayle. This lopsided early game means Vi can dictate the pace of the lane from level 1, controlling trades, wave state, and river priority.

Late game (25+ minutes) is equally balanced, with Kayle at 0.0% win rate — only 0.0 points ahead of Vi. Team fight execution and macro play determine the winner at this stage, not champion matchup advantage.

The power dynamics shift as the game progresses — Vi has the edge early, but Kayle gradually takes over. However, the margins are slim enough that either champion can win at any stage with the right plays. Focus on taking advantages when you have them rather than waiting for a specific game phase.
