Is Illaoi better when played alongside Kayn?

There is no one best synergy for Illaoi that will no matter what be her top synergy. However, overall, Kayn is a relatively poor ally for Illaoi. By being on the same side as Illaoi, he decreases their win rate by -1.5% to 48.1%. This clearly indicates that there is a bad bond between Illaoi and Kayn that allows them to perform not as well together than without each other.

Kayn has a much greater difficulty compared to Illaoi. That means Illaoi players should be very careful when enlisting Kayn allies to go into battle on the same side as, as they will need a much greater level of skill to cooperate well with you.

Fighting alongside, Illaoi players should observe an overall large increase in your team’s ability to dish out massive AD. Together, these champions should be able to take down targets with auto-attacks and other AD damage abilities.

Conversely, by aligning Illaoi and Kayn together, you will not be providing your other teammates very much magical damage output. We recommend you bring other champs on your team that neutralizes this relative gap in their kit.

Regardless of your Kayn ally's ability, you need to focus on increasing your income, warding to avoid ambushes, and clearing objectives. If you heed this simple advice, you should do well, regardless.
