Based on 5 recent matches analyzed, Kennen wins with a 80.0% win rate compared to Gragas's 20.0%, giving Kennen a 60.0 percentage point advantage.

Kennen dominates the early game (first 15 minutes) with a commanding 100.0% win rate — a 100.0 percentage point lead over Gragas. This lopsided early game means Kennen can dictate the pace of the lane from level 1, controlling trades, wave state, and river priority.

Gragas is far superior in the late game (25+ minutes), boasting a 100.0% win rate — 100.0 points above Kennen. Extended games heavily favor Gragas, whose kit and scaling make them a dominant force in team fights and objective control.

If Gragas 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.
