The Kai'Sa Varus synergy stats shown here demonstrate the areas of her gameplay that do better (or worse) when paired with Varus, compared to her overall stats. Significant differences are areas of focus that highlight how her gameplay changes when paired with this other champion.
Overall, Kai'Sa sees a very large drop in her KDA (ratio of kills and assists to deaths) when paired with Varus. His KDA decreased from NaN to NaN. This drop shows that Varus helps Kai'Sa perform not as well in ranked LoL matches. Yet, the small difference proves that this performance change is only marginal.
When Kai'Sa is an ally to Varus, she sees a little increase in her complete damage dealt. This change may indicate that Varus provides protection for her to dish out more damage or that his allyship also helps extend the round's duration. Similarly, when Kai'Sa is played together with Varus on the same team, he usually scores many fewer killing sprees compared to when she plays alone. This is contrasting evidence that she is worse when playing alongside Varus.
Additionally, when Kai'Sa plays with Varus on the same team, she usually takes a little more damage than when she plays alone. Taking more damage may indicate that Varus does a poor job of protecting Kai'Sa in team fights.
There is no one best champion pairing for Kai'Sa that will always be her top teammate. However, Varus is a relatively poor ally for Kai'Sa. By being on the same side as Kai'Sa, he drops their win rate by -1.1% to 45.4%. This clearly indicates that there is a harmful bond between Kai'Sa and Varus that allows them to perform worse together than alone.
Varus has a much lower diffuclty than Kai'Sa. That means Kai'Sa players don't need to be cautious when arranging Varus teammates to go into battle on the same side as, as they will need a much lower level of skill to work well with you.
When playing alongside, Kai'Sa players should expect to observe an overall large increase in your team’s capacity to deal physical damage. Together, these champs should be able to take down targets with auto-attacks and other AD damage abilities.
Conversely, by bringing Kai'Sa and Varus together, you may not be providing your side a great deal of crowd control. Make sure to bring other champions on your team that fills this hole in their abilities.
