Vayne vs Kayn Matchup Summary

The Vayne vs Kayn matchup is a decisive matchup in League of Legends ranked play. Based on 5 recent matches analyzed, Kayn wins with a 80.0% win rate compared to Vayne's 20.0%, giving Kayn a 60.0 percentage point advantage. Game phase dynamics play a critical role here: Kayn controls the early laning stage, but Vayne outscales as the game goes longer. The matchup shifts dramatically depending on game length — Kayn needs to press advantages before Vayne reaches their power spikes, while Vayne should focus on safe farming and hitting key item breakpoints. The most significant statistical gap is in sustain, where Kayn leads by 459 HP/min — a difference that heavily influences the outcome of trades and skirmishes. Kayn 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 Kayn 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.

Kayn dominates the early game (first 15 minutes) with a commanding 100.0% win rate — a 100.0 percentage point lead over Vayne. This lopsided early game means Kayn can dictate the pace of the lane from level 1, controlling trades, wave state, and river priority.

Late game (25+ minutes) is equally balanced, with Vayne at 50.0% win rate — only 0.0 points ahead of Kayn. Team fight execution and macro play determine the winner at this stage, not champion matchup advantage.

The power dynamics shift as the game progresses — Kayn has the edge early, but Vayne gradually takes over. However, the margins are slim enough that either champion can win at any stage with the right plays. Focus on taking advantages when you have them rather than waiting for a specific game phase.
