Is Annie better when played alongside Xayah?

By locking into the same team as Annie, she decreases their win rate by -2.5% to 46.8%. This proves that there is a bad synergy between Annie and Xayah that results in them performing worse together than without each other.

Xayah has a lower difficulty than Annie. That means you don't need to be very careful when finding Xayah comrades to play with, as they will need a lower level of skill to be able to work well with you.

Fighting cooperatively, Annie players should expect to observe an overall large increase in your team’s capacity to dish out massive AD. Together, these champions should be able to take down targets with auto-attacks and other AD damage abilities.
