By locking into the same side as Samira, he drops their win rate by -1.5% to 47.2%. This proves that there is a harmful synergy between Samira and Kayn that allows them to perform not as well together than alone.

Kayn has a greater difficulty than Samira. That means Samira players need to be careful when arranging Kayn teammates to play with, as they will require a greater level of skill to fight well with you.

Working cooperatively, Samira players will likely witness an overall large increase in your team’s capability to destroy wih physical damage. When paired, these champs can tear through the other team with a lot of physcial damage.

Conversely, by grouping Samira and Kayn together, you probably will not be giving your side very much AP. Make sure to bring other champs on your team that offsets this relative gap in this pairing's capabilities.

Regardless of your Kayn ally's ability, you should focus on maximizing your income, warding to avoid ambushes, and clearing objectives. If you do this, you should do well, regardless.
