Lux vs Kayle Matchup Summary

The Lux vs Kayle matchup is a decisive matchup in League of Legends ranked play. Based on 23 recent matches analyzed, Kayle wins with a 56.5% win rate compared to Lux's 43.5%, giving Kayle a 13.0 percentage point advantage. Kayle dominates at every stage — from early laning through late game team fights. This consistent advantage makes it difficult for Lux players to find favorable windows, so team-dependent strategies and avoiding solo confrontations are essential. The most significant statistical gap is in crowd control, where Lux leads by 1.2s CC/min — a difference that heavily influences the outcome of trades and skirmishes. Kayle has a strong advantage in this matchup. Lux players should play defensively, prioritize safe farming under tower, and look for opportunities created by jungle pressure or Kayle 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.

11,623Lux

Utility
1.4Lux
0.2Kayle
Lux brings significantly more crowd control than Kayle, with 1.2 more seconds of CC per minute. This large utility gap makes Lux far more valuable in setting up jungle ganks, controlling objectives, and locking down targets in team fights.

Sustain
484Lux
733Kayle
Kayle vastly out-sustains Lux, healing and mitigating 248 more damage per minute. This massive durability gap means Kayle can absorb significant punishment and remain in lane while Lux is forced to recall.
