How to Play with Ryze as Kai'Sa in LoL

The Kai'Sa Ryze synergy stats shown here demonstrate the areas of her gameplay that do better (or worse) when paired with Ryze, compared to her overall stats. Significant differences are areas of focus that highlight how her gameplay changes when paired with this other champion.

Overall, Kai'Sa sees a large worsening in her KDA (ratio of kills and assists to deaths) when paired with Ryze. His KDA worsened from NaN to NaN. This worsening shows that Ryze helps Kai'Sa perform worse in ranked LoL games. Yet, the small difference demonstrates that this performance change is only marginal.

When Kai'Sa is an ally to Ryze, she observes a little drop in her complete damage output. This change may demonstrate that Ryze does not provide cover for her to deal more damage or that his presence on the team also helps increase the game's duration. Similarly, when Kai'Sa is played with Ryze on the same team, he usually scores many fewer killing sprees compared to when she plays alone. This is contrasting evidence that she is worse when playing alongside Ryze.

Additionally, when Kai'Sa plays with Ryze on the same side, she typically receives a little more damage than when she plays alone. Receiving more damage may indicate that Ryze does a poor job of protecting Kai'Sa during team fights.

Is Kai'Sa better when played alongside Ryze?

There is no one best ally for Kai'Sa that will 100% of the time be her best synergy. Yet, Ryze is a very typical ally for Kai'Sa. By locking into the same side as Kai'Sa, he decreases their win rate by -0.9% to 45.6%. This signals that there is only a small bond between Kai'Sa and Ryze that results in them performing worse together than alone.

Ryze has a greater difficulty than Kai'Sa. That means Kai'Sa players need to be cautious when lining up Ryze allies to play with, as they will require a greater level of skill to do well with you.

Working cooperatively, Kai'Sa players should witness an overall large increase in your team’s ability to deal magic damage. When paired, these two are able to dish out a surprising amount of magic type damage.

In contrast, by grouping Kai'Sa and Ryze together, you probably will not be providing your other teammates enough crowd control. Plan to pick other champions on your team that nullifies this relative gap in their kit.

Regardless of your Ryze ally's skill level, you need to focus on maximizing your income, warding to avoid ambushes, and clearing objectives. If you heed this simple advice, you will do well anyway.
