How to Play with Gwen as Nami in LoL

The Nami Gwen synergy stats shown here demonstrate the areas of her gameplay that do better (or worse) when paired with Gwen, 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 large worsening in her KDA (ratio of kills and assists to deaths) when paired with Gwen. His KDA fell from NaN to NaN. This worsening shows that Gwen helps Nami perform not as well in ranked League of Legends rounds. Yet, the small difference proves that this performance change is only marginal.

When Nami plays on the same team as Gwen, she observes a barely noticable drop in her total damage output. This may indicate that Gwen does not help protection for her to deal more damage or that her presence on the team also helps increase the match's duration. Similarly, when Nami is played together with Gwen on the same side, he usually scores many fewer killing sprees than when she plays on his own. This is contrasting evidence that she is worse when playing alongside Gwen.

Moreover, when Nami plays with Gwen on the same side, she typically receives a little less damage than when she plays alone. Receiving not as much damage may mean that Gwen does a decent job of covering Nami during teamfights.

Is Nami better when played alongside Gwen?

There is no top companion for Nami that will always be her ideal synergy. Yet, overall, Gwen is a relatively poor ally for Nami. By being on the same team as Nami, she drops their win rate by -2.6% to 46.5%. This demonstrates that there is a negative strategic relationship between Nami and Gwen that allows them to perform worse together than alone.

Gwen has a lower difficulty than Nami. That means you don't need to be very careful when arranging Gwen teammates to play with, as they will require a relatively low level of skill to work well with you.

Fighting on the same side, you will likely see an overall large increase in your team’s capacity to support your allies. When paired, these champions will help their other teammates secure a victory.

In contrast, by grouping Nami and Gwen together, you may not be providing your other allies very much protection for burst damage. Make sure to pick other champions on your team that offsets this relative disparity in this pairing's abilities.

Regardless of your Gwen ally's ability, you need to focus on increasing your income, staying alive by avoiding foolish fights, and taking down objectives. If you do this, you should do well, regardless.
