This is contrasting evidence that he is worse when playing synergisticly with Kalista.

Is Shaco better when played alongside Kalista?

There is no perfect champion pairing for Shaco that will no matter what be his #1 synergy. However, overall, Kalista is a very typical companion for Shaco. By locking into the same side as Shaco, she decreases their win rate by -0.5% to 48.9%. This demonstrates that there is not really a strong synergy between Shaco and Kalista that results in them performing worse together than alone.

Kalista has a lower difficulty than Shaco. That means Shaco players don't need to be cautious when lining up Kalista comrades to fight alongside, as they will need a lower level of skill to be able to play well with you.

Playing on the same side, Shaco players should see an overall large increase in your team’s capability to destroy wih physical damage. Combined, these champs should be able to take down targets with auto-attacks and other AD damage abilities.

Although, by bringing Shaco and Kalista together, you will not be providing your team a great deal of utility. We recommend you pick other champs on your team that offsets this relative gap in this pairing's potential.

Regardless of the skill of your Kalista ally, you need to focus on maximizing your income, warding to avoid ambushes, and clearing objectives. If you do this, you should do well anyway.
