This clearly indicates that there is an easy to overcome and exploit synergy between Vi and Kindred that allows them to perform worse together than without each other.

Kindred has a lower difficulty than Vi. That means Vi players don't need to be very careful when enlisting Kindred teammates to go into battle on the same side as, as they will require a lower level of skill to play well with you.

Working alongside, Vi players should expect to witness an overall large increase in your team’s capability to dish out massive AD. Combined, these two can provide a great amount of sustained physical damage.

Although, by grouping Vi and Kindred together, you may not be providing your side a great deal of AP. We recommend you pick other champions on your team that helps cover this relative hole in this pairing's abilities.

Regardless of your Kindred ally's skill level, you should focus on increasing your income, outlasting your enemies, and clearing objectives. If you do this, you should do well, regardless.
