Is Rakan better when played alongside Kai'Sa?

There is no universally accepted best companion for Rakan that will 100% of the time be his best ally. However, overall, Kai'Sa is a not very good teammate for Rakan. By playing on the same team as Rakan, she lowers their win rate by -2.7% to 47.9%. This proves that there is a negative strategic relationship between Rakan and Kai'Sa that results in them performing not as well together than alone.

Kai'Sa has a greater difficulty than Rakan. That means you must be very careful when enlisting Kai'Sa teammates to go into battle on the same side as, as they will require a greater level of skill to be able to play well with you.

When playing alongside, Rakan players will likely witness an overall large increase in your team’s capability to deal magic damage. Together, these two can blast through enemies with magic damage.

Although, by grouping Rakan and Kai'Sa together, you probably will not be providing your team a great deal of tankyness. We recommend you bring other champs on your team that nullifies this disparity in their capabilities.

Regardless of the skill of your Kai'Sa teammate, you should focus on increasing your income, staying alive by avoiding foolish fights, and clearing objectives. If you heed this simple advice, you will do well anyway.
