Is Kai'Sa better when played alongside Kennen?

There is no top synergy for Kai'Sa that will 100% of the time be her ideal ally. Yet, overall, Kennen is a very typical ally for Kai'Sa. By being on the same side as Kai'Sa, he raises their win rate by 0.6% to 47.1%. This demonstrates that there is a weak strategic relationship between Kai'Sa and Kennen that results in them performing better together than without each other.

When playing cooperatively, you should see an overall large increase in your team’s ability to dish out massive AD. Together, these two should be able to take down targets with auto-attacks and other AD damage abilities.

Conversely, by aligning Kai'Sa and Kennen together, you may not be granting your other allies enough support. Make sure to include other champs on your team that nullifies this relative disparity in their potential.

Regardless of the ability of your Kennen teammate, you need to focus on maximizing your gold income, staying alive by avoiding foolish fights, and clearing objectives. If you do this, you should do well anyway.
