The Poppy versus Kayn matchup in the jungle is favorable with proper positioning. Use your statistical advantage and prevent the opponent from realizing their potential.
Except for rare builds, Poppy deals physical damage. Focus on eliminating enemy carries. Kayn deals mainly physical damage (88.94%), additional items against this damage type may be required against snowballing or aggressive play.
Consider the farming superiority demonstrated by Kayn, ranking 17th (versus 45th for Poppy) in farming efficiency among champions in this role. This means the opponent can build gold advantages more quickly. Meanwhile, their lower KDA (2.3 versus 2.8) suggests they are less effective in team fights.
Despite the statistical advantage in the matchup, overconfidence can be the main mistake. It is important for the Poppy player to maintain constant pressure on Kayn, not allowing the opponent to safely scale up, and actively use the advantage gained to help their team.
