This is contrasting evidence that he is worse when playing synergisticly with Kalista.

Moreover, when Jhin plays with Kalista on the same side, he often receives less damage than when he fights alone. Receiving not as much damage could mean that Kalista does a decent job of covering Jhin during teamfights.

Is Jhin better when played alongside Kalista?

There is no ideal champion pairing for Jhin that will always be his #1 teammate. However, Kalista is a terrible companion for Jhin. By being on the same side as Jhin, she drops their win rate by -9.9% to 41.1%. This clearly indicates that there is a very bad bond between Jhin and Kalista that results in them performing worse together than alone.

Kalista has a greater difficulty than Jhin. That means Jhin players should be very careful when enlisting Kalista comrades to go into battle on the same side as, as they will require a greater level of skill 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 dish out massive AD. Combined, these champs can tear through the other team with a lot of physcial damage.

Although, by grouping Jhin and Kalista together, you probably will not be providing your team very much tankyness. Plan to pick other champs on your team that neutralizes this disparity in their kit.

Regardless of the skill of your Kalista teammate, you need to focus on maximizing your income, staying alive by avoiding foolish fights, and taking down objectives. If you do this, you should do well anyway.
