The Akali Nautilus synergy stats shown here demonstrate the areas of her gameplay that do better (or worse) when paired with Nautilus, compared to her overall stats. Significant differences are areas of focus that highlight how her gameplay changes when paired with this other champion.

Overall, Akali sees a very large drop in her KDA (ratio of kills and assists to deaths) when paired with Nautilus. His KDA worsened from NaN to NaN. This worsening shows that Nautilus helps Akali perform not as well in ranked LoL games. Yet, the small difference proves that this performance change is not very impactful.

When Akali is an ally to Nautilus, she observes a little decrease in her full damage dealt. This may indicate that Nautilus doesn't help protection for her to deal more damage or that his presence on the team also helps extend the match's duration. Similarly, when Akali is played alongside Nautilus on the same side, he usually scores many fewer killing sprees compared to when she plays without Nautilus. This is contrasting evidence that she is worse when playing alongside Nautilus.

Moreover, when Akali plays with Nautilus on the same side, she usually takes a little less damage than when she fights alone. Getting dealt not as much damage may mean that Nautilus does a decent job of covering Akali during team fights.

Is Akali better when played alongside Nautilus?

There is no perfect synergy for Akali that will always be her best teammate. Yet, Nautilus is a below average companion for Akali. By being on the same team as Akali, he decreases their win rate by -1.4% to 47.7%. This signals that there is a negative synergy between Akali and Nautilus that allows them to perform worse together than without each other.

Nautilus has a lower difficulty than Akali. That means you don't need to be cautious when arranging Nautilus comrades to fight alongside, as they will require a relatively low level of skill to be able to fight well with you.

Playing cooperatively, you should observe an overall large increase in your team’s ability to deal magic damage. Combined, these champs are able to dish out a surprising amount of magic type damage.

In contrast, by grouping Akali and Nautilus together, you probably will not be giving your side much support. Plan to include other champs on your team that fills this gap in this pairing's kit.

Regardless of the ability of your Nautilus ally, you should focus on maximizing your income, warding to avoid ambushes, and taking down objectives. If you heed this simple advice, you will do well anyway.
