Kayle vs Vi Matchup Summary

The Kayle vs Vi matchup is a decisive matchup in League of Legends ranked play. Based on 5 recent matches analyzed, Kayle wins with a 60.0% win rate compared to Vi's 40.0%, giving Kayle a 20.0 percentage point advantage. Kayle dominates at every stage — from early laning through late game team fights. This consistent advantage makes it difficult for Vi players to find favorable windows, so team-dependent strategies and avoiding solo confrontations are essential.
