How to Play with Gragas as Nami in LoL

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

Overall, Nami sees a very large drop in her KDA (ratio of kills and assists to deaths) when paired with Gragas. His KDA went down from NaN to NaN. This worsening shows that Gragas helps Nami perform not as well in competitive LoL matches. Yet, the small difference shows that this performance change is only marginal.

When Nami is paired with Gragas, she observes a barely noticable drop in her complete damage output. This difference may signal that Gragas does not provide protection for her to deal more damage or that his support also helps increase the match's duration. Similarly, when Nami is played with Gragas on the same side, he usually scores many fewer killing sprees compared to when she plays on his own. This is contrasting evidence that she is worse when playing synergisticly with Gragas.

Moreover, when Nami plays with Gragas on the same team, she usually receives a little more damage than when she plays alone. Getting dealt more damage may mean that Gragas does a poor job of covering Nami in team fights.

Is Nami better when played alongside Gragas?

There is no ideal companion for Nami that will 100% of the time be her ideal teammate. However, Gragas is a not very good companion for Nami. By locking into the same side as Nami, he decreases their win rate by -3.0% to 46.1%. This signals that there is a bad strategic relationship between Nami and Gragas that results in them performing not as well together than alone.

Gragas has a lower difficulty than Nami. That means Nami players don't need to be cautious when finding Gragas teammates to fight alongside, as they will require a relatively low level of skill to be able to play well with you.

Working cooperatively, Nami players will likely witness an overall large increase in your team’s ability to buff allies and debuff enemies. When paired, these champions will help their other teammates secure a victory.

Conversely, by pairing Nami and Gragas together, you will not be giving your other allies a great deal of anti-tank damage dealing potential. We recommend you bring other champions on your team that neutralizes this relative hole in this pairing's playstyle.

Regardless of your Gragas ally's ability, you need to focus on increasing your income, warding to avoid ambushes, and clearing objectives. If you heed this simple advice, you will do well, regardless.
