How to Play with Poppy as Kai'Sa in LoL

The Kai'Sa Poppy synergy stats shown here demonstrate the areas of her gameplay that do better (or worse) when paired with Poppy, compared to her overall stats. Significant differences are areas of focus that highlight how her gameplay changes when paired with this other champion.

Overall, Kai'Sa sees a very large drop in her KDA (ratio of kills and assists to deaths) when paired with Poppy. His KDA fell from NaN to NaN. This decrease shows that Poppy helps Kai'Sa perform not as well in ranked League of Legends matches. Yet, the small difference shows that this performance change is only marginal.

When Kai'Sa is an ally to Poppy, she gets a marginal improvement in her total damage dealt. This could demonstrate that Poppy helps provide cover for her to dish out more damage or that her presence also helps increase the round's duration. Similarly, when Kai'Sa is played alongside Poppy on the same side, he usually scores many fewer killing sprees than when she plays on his own. This is contrasting evidence that she is worse when playing synergisticly with Poppy.

Moreover, when Kai'Sa plays with Poppy on the same team, she often receives a little more damage than when she plays alone. Taking more damage could mean that Poppy does a poor job of covering Kai'Sa in team fights.

Is Kai'Sa better when played alongside Poppy?

There is no universally accepted best champion pairing for Kai'Sa that will no matter what be her ideal ally. Yet, Poppy is a very typical companion for Kai'Sa. By being on the same side as Kai'Sa, she decreases their win rate by -0.5% to 46.0%. This clearly indicates that there is a weak strategic relationship between Kai'Sa and Poppy that allows them to perform worse together than without each other.

Poppy has a lower difficulty than Kai'Sa. That means you don't need to be cautious when arranging Poppy teammates to fight alongside, as they will require a lower level of skill to fight well with you.

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

In contrast, by bringing Kai'Sa and Poppy together, you will not be providing your other teammates enough magic damage. Make sure to include other champs on your team that helps cover this relative hole in this pairing's kit.

Regardless of your Poppy ally's ability, you should focus on maximizing your gold income, staying alive by avoiding foolish fights, and taking down objectives. If you follow these simple suggestions, you should do well anyway.
