Is Illaoi better when played alongside Nami?

There is no one best champion pairing for Illaoi that will no matter what be her ideal ally. However, overall, Nami is a very bad companion for Illaoi. By being on the same side as Illaoi, she drops their win rate by -4.5% to 45.1%. This clearly indicates that there is a terrible strategic relationship between Illaoi and Nami that results in them performing worse together than without each other.

Nami has a greater difficulty than Illaoi. That means Illaoi players must be careful when finding Nami teammates to fight alongside, as they will have to have a greater level of skill to work well with you.

Playing on the same side, Illaoi players should expect to observe an overall large increase in your team’s capacity to dish out massive AD. Combined, these two can tear through the other team with a lot of physcial damage.

In contrast, by bringing Illaoi and Nami together, you may not be granting your other teammates very much cover. We recommend you bring other champions on your team that helps cover this relative gap in this pairing's capabilities.

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