This is contrasting evidence that he is worse when playing alongside Kayn.

Is Talon better when played alongside Kayn?

There is no universally accepted best synergy for Talon that will 100% of the time be his #1 teammate. However, Kayn is a relatively poor companion for Talon. By playing on the same team as Talon, he decreases their win rate by -2.6% to 46.4%. This shows that there is a harmful bond between Talon and Kayn that allows them to perform worse together than without each other.

Kayn has a greater difficulty than Talon. That means Talon players must be cautious when arranging Kayn allies to play with, as they will require a greater level of skill to be able to do well with you.

Fighting cooperatively, you should expect to witness an overall large increase in your team’s ability to destroy wih physical damage. Combined, these two can provide a great amount of sustained physical damage.

In contrast, by aligning Talon and Kayn together, you will not be providing your other allies enough magic damage. Make sure to bring other champions on your team that fills this hole in their kit.

Regardless of your Kayn ally's ability, you need to focus on maximizing your gold income, staying alive by avoiding foolish fights, and clearing objectives. If you do this, you will do well, regardless.
