Taliyah vs Kayle Matchup Summary

Based on 5 recent matches analyzed, Taliyah wins with a 80.0% win rate compared to Kayle's 20.0%, giving Taliyah a 60.0 percentage point advantage. Taliyah dominates at every stage — from early laning through late game team fights. This consistent advantage makes it difficult for Kayle players to find favorable windows, so team-dependent strategies and avoiding solo confrontations are essential.

1,175Taliyah
738Kayle
Taliyah heavily out-damages Kayle by 437 DMG/min, dominating both short trades and all-in fights. Kayle should avoid extended combat and instead focus on burst trade patterns — short engages followed by immediate disengagement — to avoid letting Taliyah's sustained damage advantage take over.
Economy
13,280Taliyah

Utility
1.2Taliyah
0.2Kayle
Taliyah brings significantly more crowd control than Kayle, with 0.9 more seconds of CC per minute. This large utility gap makes Taliyah far more valuable in setting up jungle ganks, controlling objectives, and locking down targets in team fights.

Sustain
579Taliyah
774Kayle
Kayle vastly out-sustains Taliyah, healing and mitigating 195 more damage per minute. This massive durability gap means Kayle can absorb significant punishment and remain in lane while Taliyah is forced to recall.
