This shows that there is only a small bond between Cho'Gath and Kayn that results in them performing not as well together than without each other.

Kayn has a greater difficulty than Cho'Gath. That means Cho'Gath players must be very careful when enlisting Kayn comrades to play with, as they will have to have a greater level of skill to be able to play well with you.

In contrast, by aligning Cho'Gath and Kayn together, you will not be granting your other teammates a great deal of support. We recommend you pick other champs on your team that offsets this relative disparity in their capabilities.
