Overall, Kai'Sa sees a large worsening in her KDA (ratio of kills and assists to deaths) when paired with Samira. His KDA fell from NaN to NaN.

This is contrasting evidence that she is worse when playing alongside Samira.

Is Kai'Sa better when played alongside Samira?

There is no top champion pairing for Kai'Sa that will always be her best synergy. However, Samira is a terrible companion for Kai'Sa. By playing on the same team as Kai'Sa, she drops their win rate by -4.8% to 41.7%. This proves that there is a very bad strategic relationship between Kai'Sa and Samira that allows them to perform worse together than without each other.

Samira has a lower difficulty than Kai'Sa. That means Kai'Sa players don't need to be very careful when enlisting Samira allies to fight alongside, as they will need a lower level of skill to play well with you.

Playing alongside, Kai'Sa players should expect to see an overall large increase in your team’s capability to deal physical damage. When paired, these champs can tear through the other team with a lot of physcial damage.

In contrast, by grouping Kai'Sa and Samira together, you may not be granting your team a great deal of crowd control. We recommend you have other champs on your team that fills this disparity in their playstyle.

Regardless of the skill of your Samira ally, you should focus on increasing your income, warding to avoid ambushes, and clearing objectives. If you do this, you should do well anyway.
