Overall, Kayn sees a very large drop in his KDA (ratio of kills and assists to deaths) when paired with Vex. His KDA decreased from NaN to NaN.

This difference may indicate that Vex helps provide cover for him to deal more damage or that their presence on the team also helps increase the game's duration. Similarly, when Kayn is played with Vex on the same side, he usually scores many fewer killing sprees compared to when he plays on his own. This is contrasting evidence that he is worse when playing with Vex.

Moreover, when Kayn plays with Vex on the same team, he often takes a little more damage than when he fights alone. Taking more damage may indicate that Vex does a poor job of protecting Kayn in team fights.

Is Kayn better when played alongside Vex?

By locking into the same side as Kayn, they lowers their win rate by -2.0% to 47.2%. This clearly indicates that there is a bad bond between Kayn and Vex that results in them performing worse together than alone.

Vex has a much lower diffuclty than Kayn. That means you don't need to be careful when arranging Vex comrades to fight alongside, as they will require a much lower level of skill to do well with you.

Working together, Kayn players will likely observe an overall large increase in your team’s ability to destroy wih physical damage. Together, these two can provide a great amount of sustained physical damage.

Although, by pairing Kayn and Vex together, you will not be giving your other teammates a great deal of AP. Plan to include other champs on your team that offsets this relative hole in their kit.

Regardless of your Vex ally's ability, you should focus on increasing your income, staying alive by avoiding foolish fights, and clearing objectives. If you heed this simple advice, you will do well, regardless.
