Is Vex better when played alongside Kayn?

There is no ideal synergy for Vex that will always be their #1 synergy. Yet, overall, Kayn is a not very good companion for Vex. By locking into the same team as Vex, he drops their win rate by -1.6% to 47.2%. This shows that there is a harmful strategic relationship between Vex and Kayn that allows them to perform worse together than without each other.

Kayn has a much greater difficulty compared to Vex. That means you need to be careful when arranging Kayn teammates to fight alongside, as they will have to have a much higher level of skill to be able to cooperate well with you.

Working on the same side, Vex players should see an overall large increase in your team’s ability to destroy wih physical damage. Together, these champions can tear through the other team with a lot of physcial damage.

Although, by aligning Vex and Kayn together, you will not be providing your other teammates very much magic damage. We recommend you include other champs on your team that nullifies this disparity in this pairing's kit.

Regardless of your Kayn ally's skill level, you should focus on maximizing your gold income, staying alive by avoiding foolish fights, and taking down objectives. If you heed this simple advice, you should do well anyway.
