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

This is contrasting evidence that he is worse when playing synergisticly with Jax.

Is Kayn better when played alongside Jax?

There is no perfect champion pairing for Kayn that will always be his #1 ally. However, Jax is a very typical ally for Kayn. By locking into the same team as Kayn, he drops their win rate by -0.1% to 49.1%. This proves that there is a weak strategic relationship between Kayn and Jax that allows them to perform not as well together than alone.

Jax has a much lower diffuclty than Kayn. That means Kayn players don't need to be very careful when arranging Jax comrades to play with, as they will require a much lower level of skill to work well with you.

When playing on the same side, you should expect to see an overall large increase in your team’s capability to deal physical damage. Combined, these champions should be able to take down targets with auto-attacks and other AD damage abilities.

In contrast, by aligning Kayn and Jax together, you may not be granting your other allies very much magical damage output. We recommend you pick other champions on your team that neutralizes this gap in their kit.

Regardless of your Jax ally's skill level, you need to focus on increasing your income, warding to avoid ambushes, and taking down objectives. If you do this, you will do well, regardless.
