Is Kennen better when played alongside Jayce?

There is no one best synergy for Kennen that will 100% of the time be his best synergy. Yet, Jayce is a very bad teammate for Kennen. By locking into the same team as Kennen, he decreases their win rate by -3.5% to 45.1%. This demonstrates that there is an easy to overcome and exploit synergy between Kennen and Jayce that results in them performing worse together than without each other.

Jayce has a greater difficulty than Kennen. That means Kennen players should be careful when arranging Jayce teammates to fight alongside, as they will have to have a greater level of skill to cooperate well with you.

Working alongside, you should see an overall large increase in your team’s ability to dish out massive AD. Together, these champs can tear through the other team with a lot of physcial damage.

Although, by aligning Kennen and Jayce together, you probably will not be giving your team much cover. We recommend you include other champions on your team that nullifies this relative disparity in their potential.

Regardless of your Jayce ally's skill level, 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.
