Overall, Brand sees a large worsening in his KDA (ratio of kills and assists to deaths) when paired with Kindred. His KDA went down from NaN to NaN.

This difference could signal that Kindred does not provide protection for him to dish out more damage or that their support also helps increase the match's duration. Similarly, when Brand is played alongside Kindred 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 Kindred.
Additionally, when Brand plays with Kindred on the same side, he on average receives much less damage than when he plays alone. Receiving not as much damage may mean that Kindred does a decent job of protecting Brand during teamfights.

Is Brand better when played alongside Kindred?
There is no one best ally for Brand that will always be his best synergy. Yet, Kindred is a terrible ally for Brand. By playing on the same side as Brand, they lowers their win rate by -4.9% to 46.5%. This demonstrates that there is a very bad synergy between Brand and Kindred that allows them to perform worse together than alone.
Kindred has a lower difficulty than Brand. That means you don't need to be cautious when enlisting Kindred allies to fight alongside, as they will require a lower level of skill to play well with you.
Fighting on the same side, you should expect to observe an overall large increase in your team’s capability to deal magical damage. Combined, these champs are able to dish out a surprising amount of magic type damage.
Conversely, by bringing Brand and Kindred together, you will not be providing your team a lot of cover. We recommend you have other champs on your team that offsets this relative gap in their potential.
Regardless of the ability of your Kindred teammate, you should focus on increasing your income, warding to avoid ambushes, and taking down objectives. If you do this, you will do well anyway.
