Overall, Nidalee sees a very large drop in her KDA (ratio of kills and assists to deaths) when paired with Kayn. His KDA went down from NaN to NaN. This worsening shows that Kayn helps Nidalee perform not as well in ranked LoL games. Yet, the small difference proves that this performance change is only marginal.

When Nidalee is an ally to Kayn, she gets a small increase in her total damage dealt. This change could signal that Kayn helps provide cover for her to dish out more damage or that his participation also helps extend the game's duration. Similarly, when Nidalee is played together with Kayn on the same side, he usually scores many fewer killing sprees than when she plays on his own. This is contrasting evidence that she is worse when playing with Kayn.

Additionally, when Nidalee plays with Kayn on the same team, she often receives much less damage than when she fights alone. Getting dealt not as much damage may mean that Kayn does a decent job of protecting Nidalee during team fights.

Is Nidalee better when played alongside Kayn?

There is no one best ally for Nidalee that will always be her best synergy. However, overall, Kayn is a decent companion for Nidalee. By being on the same team as Nidalee, he improves their win rate by 1.0% to 45.8%. This clearly indicates that there is a good bond between Nidalee and Kayn that results in them performing at the top of their game together than alone.

Kayn has a lower difficulty than Nidalee. That means Nidalee players don't need to be careful when finding Kayn teammates to play with, as they will have to have a lower level of skill to be able to cooperate well with you.

Playing cooperatively, you should expect to observe an overall large increase in your team’s capacity to dish out massive AD. When paired, these two can tear through the other team with a lot of physcial damage.

Although, by aligning Nidalee and Kayn together, you probably will not be granting your team much utility. We recommend you bring other champs on your team that offsets this relative gap in their potential.

Regardless of the ability of your Kayn ally, you should focus on maximizing your income, staying alive by avoiding foolish fights, and clearing objectives. If you follow these simple suggestions, you should do well, regardless.
