Overall, Aatrox sees a very large drop in his KDA (ratio of kills and assists to deaths) when paired with Kennen. His KDA worsened from NaN to NaN. This drop shows that Kennen helps Aatrox perform not as well in competitive LoL rounds. Yet, the small difference shows that this performance change is only marginal.
When Aatrox is paired with Kennen, he sees a little increase in his complete damage output. This change could demonstrate that Kennen provides protection for him to deal more damage or that his presence on the team also helps extend the round's duration.

This is contrasting evidence that he is worse when playing alongside Kennen.
