Is Kayn better when played alongside Vladimir?

There is no ideal synergy for Kayn that will always be his #1 ally. Yet, Vladimir is a pretty good teammate for Kayn. By being on the same team as Kayn, he improves their win rate by 1.3% to 50.5%. This signals that there is a somewhat important synergy between Kayn and Vladimir that allows them to perform stronger together than alone.

Vladimir has a lower difficulty than Kayn. That means Kayn players don't need to be careful when enlisting Vladimir teammates to go into battle on the same side as, as they will need a lower level of skill to work well with you.

Playing cooperatively, you should observe an overall large increase in your team’s ability to destroy wih physical damage. Together, these two can provide a great amount of sustained physical damage.

Conversely, by aligning Kayn and Vladimir together, you probably will not be granting your side enough support. Plan to bring other champions on your team that nullifies this relative hole in their playstyle.

Regardless of the ability of your Vladimir ally, you should focus on increasing your gold income, warding to avoid ambushes, and clearing objectives. If you follow these simple suggestions, you will do well, regardless.
