Is Kayn better when played alongside Lux?

There is no universally accepted best companion for Kayn that will no matter what be his top ally. Yet, Lux is a very typical ally for Kayn. By locking into the same team as Kayn, she has no effect on their win rate by 0.0% to 49.2%. This demonstrates that there is a weak strategic relationship between Kayn and Lux that allows them to perform at the same level together than alone.

Lux has a much lower diffuclty than Kayn. That means Kayn players don't need to be very careful when enlisting Lux allies to play with, as they will require a much lower level of skill to be able to fight well with you.

Fighting cooperatively, Kayn players should expect to see an overall large increase in your team’s ability to destroy wih physical damage. Together, these two should be able to take down targets with auto-attacks and other AD damage abilities.

Although, by pairing Kayn and Lux together, you will not be granting your other allies a great deal of magical damage output. Plan to include other champions on your team that nullifies this disparity in this pairing's playstyle.

Regardless of the skill of your Lux teammate, you need to focus on increasing your gold income, staying alive by avoiding foolish fights, and clearing objectives. If you do this, you will do well, regardless.
