Is Thresh better when played alongside Kayn?
There is no ideal synergy for Thresh that will always be his best teammate. Yet, Kayn is a relatively poor companion for Thresh. By locking into the same team as Thresh, he lowers their win rate by -1.9% to 46.6%. This shows that there is a negative bond between Thresh and Kayn that results in them performing not as well together than without each other.
Kayn has a greater difficulty than Thresh. That means you should be cautious when arranging Kayn comrades to play with, as they will have to have a greater level of skill to cooperate well with you.
When playing together, Thresh players should expect to observe an overall large increase in your team’s capacity to dish out massive AD. Together, these two can provide a great amount of sustained physical damage.
Although, by grouping Thresh and Kayn together, you will not be granting your other teammates much magical damage output. We recommend you pick other champs on your team that offsets this relative disparity in their potential.
Regardless of the ability of your Kayn ally, you should focus on maximizing your income, warding to avoid ambushes, and clearing objectives. If you heed this simple advice, you will do well anyway.
