Is Kayn better when played alongside Shyvana?

There is no universally accepted best champion pairing for Kayn that will always be his #1 teammate. However, Shyvana is a very bad ally for Kayn. By playing on the same side as Kayn, she decreases their win rate by -5.6% to 43.6%. This demonstrates that there is a very bad bond between Kayn and Shyvana that results in them performing not as well together than without each other.

Shyvana has a much lower diffuclty than Kayn. That means Kayn players don't need to be cautious when enlisting Shyvana teammates to fight alongside, as they will have to have a much lower level of skill to play well with you.

Playing alongside, you should observe an overall large increase in your team’s capacity to dish out massive AD. Combined, these champs should be able to take down targets with auto-attacks and other AD damage abilities.

Although, by aligning Kayn and Shyvana together, you will not be providing your other allies much magic damage. We recommend you have other champs on your team that nullifies this relative gap in this pairing's capabilities.

Regardless of your Shyvana ally's skill level, you should focus on maximizing your gold income, warding to avoid ambushes, and clearing objectives. If you follow these simple suggestions, you should do well, regardless.
