Is Vi better when played alongside Kayn?

There is no one best companion for Vi that will no matter what be her #1 synergy. Yet, Kayn is a very bad ally for Vi. By being on the same side as Vi, he decreases their win rate by -3.2% to 48.4%. This clearly indicates that there is a terrible strategic relationship between Vi and Kayn that results in them performing not as well together than alone.

Kayn has a much greater difficulty compared to Vi. That means Vi players should be very careful when lining up Kayn allies to play with, as they will need a much greater level of skill to be able to cooperate well with you.

Working together, Vi players should see an overall large increase in your team’s ability to dish out massive AD. When paired, these two can tear through the other team with a lot of physcial damage.
