Is Kennen better when played alongside Vladimir?

There is no universally accepted best companion for Kennen that will always be his top synergy. Yet, overall, Vladimir is a very typical teammate for Kennen. By locking into the same side as Kennen, he lowers their win rate by -0.4% to 48.2%. This shows that there is not really a strong bond between Kennen and Vladimir that results in them performing not as well together than alone.

Vladimir has a greater difficulty than Kennen. That means you must be cautious when enlisting Vladimir comrades to go into battle on the same side as, as they will need a greater level of skill to be able to do well with you.

Playing cooperatively, you will likely see an overall large increase in your team’s capacity to deal magic damage. When paired, these two are able to dish out a surprising amount of magic type damage.

Although, by grouping Kennen and Vladimir together, you may not be giving your other teammates a lot of anti-tank damage dealing potential. We recommend you bring other champs on your team that offsets this relative gap in their capabilities.

Regardless of your Vladimir ally's skill level, you need to focus on increasing your gold income, warding to avoid ambushes, and clearing objectives. If you follow these simple suggestions, you should do well anyway.
