Kayle vs Yasuo Matchup Summary

The Kayle vs Yasuo matchup is a decisive matchup in League of Legends ranked play. Based on 91 recent matches analyzed, Kayle wins with a 53.9% win rate compared to Yasuo's 46.1%, giving Kayle a 7.7 percentage point advantage. Game phase dynamics play a critical role here: Yasuo controls the early laning stage, but Kayle outscales as the game goes longer. The matchup shifts dramatically depending on game length — Yasuo 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 Yasuo leads by 0.5s CC/min — a difference that heavily influences the outcome of trades and skirmishes. Kayle players can confidently pick into Yasuo and play aggressively from level 1. Look to establish lane dominance early through favorable trades and zone Yasuo away from CS whenever possible. Understanding these matchup dynamics is essential for champion select decisions and in-game strategy when facing this lane opponent.
