Is Vex better when played alongside Kennen?

There is no ideal companion for Vex that will 100% of the time be their best synergy. However, Kennen is a very bad companion for Vex. By being on the same team as Vex, he decreases their win rate by -5.9% to 42.9%. This clearly indicates that there is a terrible bond between Vex and Kennen that results in them performing worse together than alone.

Kennen has a much greater difficulty compared to Vex. That means Vex players should be careful when lining up Kennen teammates to fight alongside, as they will require a much greater level of skill to be able to cooperate well with you.

Working on the same side, you should observe an overall large increase in your team’s capability to provide utility and CC for your side. Combined, these champs will help their other teammates secure a victory.

Conversely, by pairing Vex and Kennen together, you probably will not be granting your side much protection for burst damage. Plan to have other champions on your team that fills this hole in their abilities.

Regardless of the skill of your Kennen ally, you need to focus on increasing your gold income, outlasting your enemies, and taking down objectives. If you heed this simple advice, you will do well anyway.
