Is Caitlyn better when played alongside Kayn?

There is no universally accepted best champion pairing for Caitlyn that will 100% of the time be her #1 synergy. Yet, overall, Kayn is a very typical ally for Caitlyn. By locking into the same team as Caitlyn, he decreases their win rate by -1.0% to 48.3%. This shows that there is a weak synergy between Caitlyn and Kayn that results in them performing not as well together than alone.

Kayn has a greater difficulty than Caitlyn. That means you must be very careful when arranging Kayn allies to play with, as they will need a greater level of skill to be able to do well with you.

When playing on the same side, you should expect to witness an overall large increase in your team’s capability to deal physical damage. Combined, these champs can tear through the other team with a lot of physcial damage.

Although, by pairing Caitlyn and Kayn together, you will not be giving your side a great deal of AP. We recommend you pick other champions on your team that helps cover this relative hole in their capabilities.

Regardless of the ability of your Kayn teammate, you need to focus on increasing your income, outlasting your enemies, and clearing objectives. If you do this, you should do well anyway.
