Overall, Varus sees a large worsening in his KDA (ratio of kills and assists to deaths) when paired with Kayn. His KDA fell from NaN to NaN.

When Varus is an ally to Kayn, he gets a marginal improvement in his full damage dealt. This may signal that Kayn helps provide protection for him to dish out more damage or that his presence on the team also helps increase the game's duration. Similarly, when Varus is played with Kayn on the same team, he usually scores many fewer killing sprees than when he plays on his own. This is contrasting evidence that he is worse when playing with Kayn.
Additionally, when Varus plays with Kayn on the same side, he on average takes a little more damage than when he plays alone. Getting dealt more damage could mean that Kayn does a poor job of protecting Varus in teamfights.

Is Varus better when played alongside Kayn?
There is no one best ally for Varus that will 100% of the time be his best teammate. However, Kayn is a very typical teammate for Varus. By locking into the same side as Varus, he lowers their win rate by -1.0% to 47.4%. This clearly indicates that there is only a small synergy between Varus and Kayn that allows them to perform worse together than without each other.
Kayn has a much greater difficulty compared to Varus. That means you must be careful when lining up Kayn allies to go into battle on the same side as, as they will have to have a much greater level of skill to cooperate well with you.
When playing on the same side, you will likely see an overall large increase in your team’s ability to dish out massive AD. Together, these champs should be able to take down targets with auto-attacks and other AD damage abilities.
Conversely, by grouping Varus and Kayn together, you will not be granting your other allies a great deal of magic damage. We recommend you bring other champions on your team that neutralizes this gap in this pairing's kit.
Regardless of the skill of your Kayn ally, you should focus on increasing your gold income, staying alive by avoiding foolish fights, and taking down objectives. If you heed this simple advice, you should do well anyway.
