Vayne vs Kayle Matchup Summary

The Vayne vs Kayle matchup is a decisive matchup in League of Legends ranked play. Based on 49 recent matches analyzed, Kayle wins with a 53.1% win rate compared to Vayne's 46.9%, giving Kayle a 6.1 percentage point advantage. Game phase dynamics play a critical role here: Vayne controls the early laning stage, but Kayle outscales as the game goes longer. The matchup shifts dramatically depending on game length — Vayne needs to press advantages before Kayle reaches their power spikes, while Kayle should focus on safe farming and hitting key item breakpoints. The most significant statistical gap is in crowd control, where Vayne leads by 0.0s CC/min — a difference that heavily influences the outcome of trades and skirmishes. Kayle has a strong advantage in this matchup. Vayne 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.

Vayne dominates the early game (first 15 minutes) with a commanding 56.0% win rate — a 12.0 percentage point lead over Kayle. This lopsided early game means Vayne can dictate the pace of the lane from level 1, controlling trades, wave state, and river priority.

Kayle is far superior in the late game (25+ minutes), boasting a 62.5% win rate — 25.0 points above Vayne. Extended games heavily favor Kayle, whose kit and scaling make them a dominant force in team fights and objective control.

This matchup features a dramatic power shift: Vayne must aggressively press their early advantage and close out the game before Kayle reaches their scaling breakpoints. If Kayle 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.
