By locking into the same side as Sylas, he raises their win rate by 0.4% to 49.4%. This clearly indicates that there is a weak synergy between Sylas and Jhin that results in them performing stronger together than without each other.

Jhin has a greater difficulty than Sylas. That means you should be careful when lining up Jhin comrades to play with, as they will have to have a greater level of skill to play well with you.
