Is Kai'Sa better when played alongside Akali?

There is no universally accepted best champion pairing for Kai'Sa that will always be her best ally. However, Akali is a below average teammate for Kai'Sa. By locking into the same side as Kai'Sa, she lowers their win rate by -1.6% to 44.9%. This proves that there is a bad strategic relationship between Kai'Sa and Akali that results in them performing not as well together than without each other.

Akali has a greater difficulty than Kai'Sa. That means Kai'Sa players must be very careful when arranging Akali teammates to play with, as they will need a greater level of skill to fight well with you.

Playing alongside, you will likely witness an overall large increase in your team’s capacity to destroy wih physical damage. Together, these two can tear through the other team with a lot of physcial damage.

In contrast, by pairing Kai'Sa and Akali together, you probably will not be granting your side enough support. We recommend you have other champions on your team that offsets this gap in this pairing's kit.

Regardless of the skill of your Akali teammate, you should focus on maximizing your gold income, warding to avoid ambushes, and taking down objectives. If you do this, you should do well, regardless.
