This is contrasting evidence that she is worse when playing alongside Kai'Sa.

Is Irelia better when played alongside Kai'Sa?

There is no ideal champion pairing for Irelia that will always be her top ally. However, Kai'Sa is a terrible companion for Irelia. By locking into the same side as Irelia, she drops their win rate by -3.6% to 46.2%. This demonstrates that there is a very bad strategic relationship between Irelia and Kai'Sa that results in them performing not as well together than without each other.

Kai'Sa has a greater difficulty than Irelia. That means you need to be very careful when finding Kai'Sa teammates to go into battle on the same side as, as they will require a greater level of skill to be able to work well with you.

Playing together, you will likely observe an overall large increase in your team’s ability to destroy wih physical damage. Combined, these champions should be able to take down targets with auto-attacks and other AD damage abilities.

Although, by bringing Irelia and Kai'Sa together, you will not be providing your other teammates very much support. Make sure to have other champions on your team that neutralizes this gap in their capabilities.

Regardless of your Kai'Sa ally's ability, you should focus on maximizing your income, outlasting your enemies, and taking down objectives. If you follow these simple suggestions, you will do well, regardless.
