How to Play with Lucian as Nami in LoL

The Nami Lucian synergy stats shown here demonstrate the areas of her gameplay that do better (or worse) when paired with Lucian, 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 Lucian. His KDA went down from NaN to NaN. This fall shows that Lucian helps Nami perform poorer in competitive League rounds. Yet, the small difference demonstrates that this performance change is only marginal.

When Nami is paired with Lucian, she sees a marginal improvement in her full damage output. This may signal that Lucian helps provide cover for her to deal more damage or that his presence on the team also helps increase the game's duration. Similarly, when Nami is played together with Lucian on the same side, he usually scores many fewer killing sprees than when she plays alone. This is contrasting evidence that she is worse when playing with Lucian.

Moreover, when Nami plays with Lucian on the same team, she on average takes a little less damage than when she fights alone. Getting dealt not as much damage could indicate that Lucian does a decent job of protecting Nami during teamfights.

Is Nami better when played alongside Lucian?

There is no top synergy for Nami that will always be her #1 ally. Yet, Lucian is a very typical ally for Nami. By locking into the same team as Nami, he increases their win rate by 0.3% to 49.4%. This demonstrates that there is a weak bond between Nami and Lucian that results in them performing stronger together than without each other.

Lucian has a greater difficulty than Nami. That means you should be cautious when arranging Lucian allies to fight alongside, as they will need a greater level of skill to be able to do well with you.

Fighting cooperatively, Nami players will likely observe an overall large increase in your team’s capacity to deal physical damage. When paired, these champions should be able to take down targets with auto-attacks and other AD damage abilities.

Although, by pairing Nami and Lucian together, you may not be giving your other teammates a great deal of engage potential. Plan to pick other champs on your team that neutralizes this hole in their playstyle.

Regardless of the ability of your Lucian teammate, you need to focus on maximizing your gold income, outlasting your enemies, and clearing objectives. If you do this, you should do well anyway.
