The Pyke Kai'Sa synergy stats shown here demonstrate the areas of his gameplay that do better (or worse) when paired with Kai'Sa, compared to his overall stats. Significant differences are areas of focus that highlight how his gameplay changes when paired with this other champion.
Overall, Pyke sees a very large drop in his KDA (ratio of kills and assists to deaths) when paired with Kai'Sa. His KDA decreased from NaN to NaN. This worsening shows that Kai'Sa helps Pyke perform not as well in competitive League games. Yet, the small difference indicates that this performance change is only marginal.
When Pyke tries to synergize with Kai'Sa, he sees a small decrease in his full damage output. This may signal that Kai'Sa doesn't help protection for him to dish out more damage or that her allyship also helps extend the game's duration. Similarly, when Pyke is played together with Kai'Sa on the same side, he usually scores many fewer killing sprees than when he plays on his own. This is contrasting evidence that he is worse when playing with Kai'Sa.
Additionally, when Pyke plays with Kai'Sa on the same side, he typically takes a little less damage than when he fights alone. Taking not as much damage may mean that Kai'Sa does a decent job of protecting Pyke in teamfights.
