Is Kayn better when played alongside Yasuo?

There is no ideal synergy for Kayn that will 100% of the time be his ideal ally. Yet, Yasuo is a very typical companion for Kayn. By being on the same side as Kayn, he decreases their win rate by -0.3% to 48.9%. This signals that there is a weak bond between Kayn and Yasuo that allows them to perform worse together than without each other.

Yasuo has a greater difficulty than Kayn. That means you need to be very careful when finding Yasuo comrades to fight alongside, as they will need a greater level of skill to be able to do well with you.

Working alongside, Kayn players should expect to see an overall large increase in your team’s capacity to destroy wih physical damage. Together, these two should be able to take down targets with auto-attacks and other AD damage abilities.

Although, by grouping Kayn and Yasuo together, you probably will not be granting your team a great deal of magic damage. Plan to have other champs on your team that helps cover this relative gap in their abilities.

Regardless of the ability of your Yasuo teammate, you need to focus on maximizing your gold income, staying alive by avoiding foolish fights, and clearing objectives. If you heed this simple advice, you will do well, regardless.
