This is contrasting evidence that he is worse when playing with Aatrox.

There is no perfect companion for Kayn that will no matter what be his top teammate. Yet, overall, Aatrox is a very typical teammate for Kayn. By locking into the same side as Kayn, he decreases their win rate by -0.4% to 48.8%. This shows that there is a weak bond between Kayn and Aatrox that allows them to perform not as well together than alone.

Aatrox has a much lower diffuclty than Kayn. That means Kayn players don't need to be cautious when lining up Aatrox teammates to go into battle on the same side as, as they will need a much lower level of skill to cooperate well with you.

Playing on the same side, you should witness an overall large increase in your team’s ability to dish out massive AD. When paired, these two can tear through the other team with a lot of physcial damage.

Conversely, by bringing Kayn and Aatrox together, you probably will not be granting your team much magic damage. We recommend you bring other champions on your team that neutralizes this relative gap in this pairing's abilities.

Regardless of your Aatrox ally's ability, you should focus on maximizing your gold income, warding to avoid ambushes, and clearing objectives. If you heed this simple advice, you will do well anyway.
