By playing on the same team as Darius, she lowers their win rate by -1.4% to 47.8%. This proves that there is a harmful bond between Darius and Nami that results in them performing worse together than alone.

Nami has a greater difficulty than Darius. That means Darius players should be careful when enlisting Nami comrades to go into battle on the same side as, as they will need a greater level of skill to be able to do well with you.

Fighting alongside, Darius players should see an overall large increase in your team’s capability to dish out massive AD. Combined, these champs can tear through the other team with a lot of physcial damage.
