How to Play with Kai'Sa as Pyke in LoL

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.

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.

Is Pyke better when played alongside Kai'Sa?

There is no universally accepted best champion pairing for Pyke that will always be his #1 teammate. Yet, Kai'Sa is a relatively poor ally for Pyke. By locking into the same team as Pyke, she drops their win rate by -1.8% to 47.3%. This signals that there is a bad synergy between Pyke and Kai'Sa that results in them performing not as well together than without each other.

Kai'Sa has a lower difficulty than Pyke. That means Pyke players don't need to be careful when finding Kai'Sa teammates to go into battle on the same side as, as they will require a lower level of skill to be able to do well with you.

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

Conversely, by pairing Pyke and Kai'Sa together, you probably will not be giving your other allies a great deal of magic damage. We recommend you include other champions on your team that fills this gap in this pairing's abilities.

Regardless of your Kai'Sa ally's skill level, you need to focus on increasing your gold income, warding to avoid ambushes, and taking down objectives. If you follow these simple suggestions, you should do well, regardless.
