This is contrasting evidence that he is worse when playing with Annie.

Is Kayn better when played alongside Annie?

There is no universally accepted best ally for Kayn that will always be his best teammate. However, overall, Annie is a very typical ally for Kayn. By locking into the same team as Kayn, she lowers their win rate by -0.2% to 49.0%. This clearly indicates that there is not really a strong strategic relationship between Kayn and Annie that results in them performing worse together than alone.

Annie has a lower difficulty than Kayn. That means Kayn players don't need to be very careful when lining up Annie comrades to play with, as they will have to have a relatively low level of skill to cooperate well with you.

Working cooperatively, you should expect to observe an overall large increase in your team’s ability to destroy wih physical damage. When paired, these champs can tear through the other team with a lot of physcial damage.

Although, by bringing Kayn and Annie together, you probably will not be granting your other allies much engage. We recommend you have other champs on your team that offsets this relative gap in their playstyle.

Regardless of the skill of your Annie ally, you need to focus on increasing your income, staying alive by avoiding foolish fights, and clearing objectives. If you follow these simple suggestions, you will do well, regardless.
