This is contrasting evidence that she is worse when playing synergisticly with Xerath.

When playing together, you should expect to see an overall large increase in your team’s capability to deal magic damage. When paired, these champions can blast through enemies with magic damage.

Conversely, by aligning Kai'Sa and Xerath together, you may not be providing your team very much crowd control. We recommend you bring other champions on your team that offsets this relative hole in their capabilities.
