Is Poppy better when played alongside Kai'Sa?

There is no universally accepted best ally for Poppy that will 100% of the time be her top synergy. However, overall, Kai'Sa is a very bad teammate for Poppy. By playing on the same side as Poppy, she drops their win rate by -3.7% to 46.0%. This shows that there is a terrible strategic relationship between Poppy and Kai'Sa that results in them performing not as well together than alone.

Kai'Sa has a lower difficulty than Poppy. That means Poppy players don't need to be cautious when finding Kai'Sa allies to play with, as they will require a lower level of skill to be able to cooperate well with you.

Fighting alongside, Poppy players should see an overall large increase in your team’s capacity to deal physical damage. Together, these champs can provide a great amount of sustained physical damage.
