Is Kayn better when played alongside Syndra?

There is no one best ally for Kayn that will no matter what be his #1 synergy. Yet, Syndra is a not very good companion for Kayn. By locking into the same team as Kayn, she lowers their win rate by -1.1% to 48.1%. This proves that there is a bad bond between Kayn and Syndra that results in them performing worse together than without each other.

Syndra has a lower difficulty than Kayn. That means you don't need to be cautious when enlisting Syndra comrades to go into battle on the same side as, as they will have to have a relatively low level of skill to be able to do well with you.

Fighting together, Kayn players should expect to witness an overall large increase in your team’s ability to deal physical damage. Together, these two should be able to take down targets with auto-attacks and other AD damage abilities.

In contrast, by grouping Kayn and Syndra together, you probably will not be granting your other allies a great deal of cover. Plan to have other champs on your team that fills this hole in this pairing's potential.

Regardless of the skill of your Syndra teammate, you should focus on maximizing your income, warding to avoid ambushes, and taking down objectives. If you heed this simple advice, you will do well anyway.
