This is contrasting evidence that she is worse when playing synergisticly with Kennen.

Is Vayne better when played alongside Kennen?

There is no universally accepted best champion pairing for Vayne that will no matter what be her top synergy. Yet, overall, Kennen is a very typical teammate for Vayne. By locking into the same team as Vayne, he improves their win rate by 0.4% to 50.8%. This clearly indicates that there is not really a strong strategic relationship between Vayne and Kennen that results in them performing at the top of their game together than without each other.

Kennen has a much lower diffuclty than Vayne. That means you don't need to be very careful when enlisting Kennen allies to go into battle on the same side as, as they will have to have a much lower level of skill to be able to work well with you.

When playing cooperatively, you should witness 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 aligning Vayne and Kennen together, you will not be providing your team a lot of engage. We recommend you include other champions on your team that neutralizes this relative hole in their playstyle.

Regardless of your Kennen ally's ability, you should focus on increasing your gold income, warding to avoid ambushes, and clearing objectives. If you heed this simple advice, you should do well anyway.
