Overall, Kayn sees a very large drop in his KDA (ratio of kills and assists to deaths) when paired with Aphelios. His KDA decreased from NaN to NaN.

When Kayn tries to synergize with Aphelios, he sees a barely noticable drop in his full damage output. This change may signal that Aphelios does not provide protection for him to deal more damage or that his participation also helps extend the game's duration.

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