Based on 70 recent matches analyzed, Kayn wins with a 58.6% win rate compared to Vi's 41.4%, giving Kayn a 17.1 percentage point advantage. Game phase dynamics play a critical role here: Vi controls the early laning stage, but Kayn outscales as the game goes longer.

Kayn has a strong advantage in this matchup. Vi 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.
