Shaco vs Kindred Matchup Summary

The Shaco vs Kindred matchup is a decisive matchup in League of Legends ranked play. Based on 51 recent matches analyzed, Kindred wins with a 54.9% win rate compared to Shaco's 45.1%, giving Kindred a 9.8 percentage point advantage. Game phase dynamics play a critical role here: Shaco controls the early laning stage, but Kindred outscales as the game goes longer. The matchup shifts dramatically depending on game length — Shaco needs to press advantages before Kindred reaches their power spikes, while Kindred should focus on safe farming and hitting key item breakpoints. The most significant statistical gap is in crowd control, where Shaco leads by 0.5s CC/min — a difference that heavily influences the outcome of trades and skirmishes. Kindred has a strong advantage in this matchup. Shaco players should play defensively, prioritize safe farming under tower, and look for opportunities created by jungle pressure or Kindred 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.
