Pantheon vs Kayn Matchup Summary

The Pantheon vs Kayn matchup is a decisive matchup in League of Legends ranked play. Based on 28 recent matches analyzed, Kayn wins with a 64.3% win rate compared to Pantheon's 35.7%, giving Kayn a 28.6 percentage point advantage. Kayn dominates at every stage — from early laning through late game team fights. This consistent advantage makes it difficult for Pantheon 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 Pantheon leads by 0.3s CC/min — a difference that heavily influences the outcome of trades and skirmishes. Kayn has a strong advantage in this matchup.

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.
