Is Kayn better when played alongside Zeri?

There is no perfect companion for Kayn that will 100% of the time be his #1 ally. Yet, Zeri is a terrible ally for Kayn. By being on the same side as Kayn, they lowers their win rate by -3.5% to 45.7%. This clearly indicates that there is a terrible strategic relationship between Kayn and Zeri that results in them performing worse together than alone.

Zeri has a lower difficulty than Kayn. That means you don't need to be careful when lining up Zeri teammates to go into battle on the same side as, as they will have to have a lower level of skill to be able to do well with you.

Working together, you should expect to see an overall large increase in your team’s capacity to dish out massive AD. When paired, these champs can provide a great amount of sustained physical damage.

Conversely, by aligning Kayn and Zeri together, you probably will not be providing your team much magical damage output. We recommend you bring other champions on your team that helps cover this relative gap in their capabilities.

Regardless of the skill of your Zeri teammate, you need to focus on increasing your income, outlasting your enemies, and clearing objectives. If you do this, you should do well, regardless.
