Overall, Neeko sees a large worsening in her KDA (ratio of kills and assists to deaths) when paired with Kindred. His KDA decreased from NaN to NaN.

This is contrasting evidence that she is worse when playing alongside Kindred.

Is Neeko better when played alongside Kindred?

There is no ideal companion for Neeko that will always be her ideal teammate. However, overall, Kindred is a very typical ally for Neeko. By playing on the same side as Neeko, they lowers their win rate by -1.0% to 48.4%. This proves that there is not really a strong bond between Neeko and Kindred that allows them to perform not as well together than without each other.
