How to Play with Thresh as Kai'Sa in LoL

The Kai'Sa Thresh synergy stats shown here demonstrate the areas of her gameplay that do better (or worse) when paired with Thresh, 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 very large drop in her KDA (ratio of kills and assists to deaths) when paired with Thresh. His KDA went down from NaN to NaN. This negative change shows that Thresh helps Kai'Sa perform poorer in ranked League of Legends matches. Yet, the small difference proves that this performance change is only marginal.

When Kai'Sa plays on the same team as Thresh, she observes a little increase in her full damage dealt. This could indicate that Thresh provides cover for her to deal more damage or that his allyship also helps increase the match's duration. Similarly, when Kai'Sa is played with Thresh on the same side, he usually scores many fewer killing sprees compared to when she plays on his own. This is contrasting evidence that she is worse when playing synergisticly with Thresh.

Additionally, when Kai'Sa plays with Thresh on the same team, she typically takes a little less damage than when she plays alone. Getting dealt not as much damage may mean that Thresh does a decent job of covering Kai'Sa in team fights.

Is Kai'Sa better when played alongside Thresh?

There is no perfect synergy for Kai'Sa that will 100% of the time be her #1 synergy. Yet, Thresh is a very typical companion for Kai'Sa. By being on the same team as Kai'Sa, he has no effect on their win rate by 0.0% to 46.5%. This proves that there is only a small synergy between Kai'Sa and Thresh that allows them to perform at the same level together than alone.

Thresh has a greater difficulty than Kai'Sa. That means you should be careful when finding Thresh comrades to fight alongside, as they will require a greater level of skill to play well with you.

Working cooperatively, you should expect to witness an overall large increase in your team’s capability to destroy wih physical damage. Combined, these two can tear through the other team with a lot of physcial damage.

Conversely, by bringing Kai'Sa and Thresh together, you may not be providing your side a lot of magical damage output. Make sure to pick other champions on your team that neutralizes this relative hole in their kit.

Regardless of the skill of your Thresh ally, you should focus on maximizing your income, outlasting your enemies, and clearing objectives. If you heed this simple advice, you will do well, regardless.
