Yasuo vs Kayle Matchup Summary

The Yasuo vs Kayle matchup is a decisive matchup in League of Legends ranked play. Based on 104 recent matches analyzed, Kayle wins with a 55.8% win rate compared to Yasuo's 44.2%, giving Kayle a 11.5 percentage point advantage. Kayle dominates at every stage — from early laning through late game team fights. This consistent advantage makes it difficult for Yasuo players to find favorable windows, so team-dependent strategies and avoiding solo confrontations are essential. The most significant statistical gap is in crowd control, where Yasuo leads by 0.5s CC/min — a difference that heavily influences the outcome of trades and skirmishes. Kayle has a strong advantage in this matchup. Yasuo 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.
