Overall, Nami sees a very large drop in her KDA (ratio of kills and assists to deaths) when paired with Kai'Sa. His KDA fell from NaN to NaN.

This is contrasting evidence that she is worse when playing with Kai'Sa.

Working cooperatively, you should expect to observe an overall large increase in your team’s capability to deal physical damage. When paired, these two can tear through the other team with a lot of physcial damage.
Although, by aligning Nami and Kai'Sa together, you may not be granting your other teammates enough engage. We recommend you pick other champs on your team that nullifies this hole in their kit.
Regardless of your Kai'Sa ally's skill level, you need to focus on increasing your gold income, outlasting your enemies, and clearing objectives. If you follow these simple suggestions, you should do well, regardless.
