How to Play with Nidalee as Nami in LoL

The Nami Nidalee synergy stats shown here demonstrate the areas of her gameplay that do better (or worse) when paired with Nidalee, 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 Nidalee. His KDA fell from NaN to NaN. This fall shows that Nidalee helps Nami perform poorer in competitive LoL games. Yet, the small difference shows that this performance change is not very impactful.

When Nami is an ally to Nidalee, she sees a little decrease in her complete damage dealt. This change may demonstrate that Nidalee does not provide protection for her to dish out more damage or that her presence also helps extend the match's duration. Similarly, when Nami is played with Nidalee 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 Nidalee.

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

Is Nami better when played alongside Nidalee?

There is no one best ally for Nami that will always be her top teammate. Yet, overall, Nidalee is a terrible ally for Nami. By being on the same side as Nami, she drops their win rate by -6.1% to 43.0%. This clearly indicates that there is a very bad synergy between Nami and Nidalee that allows them to perform not as well together than without each other.

Nidalee has a greater difficulty than Nami. That means you must be careful when lining up Nidalee allies to go into battle on the same side as, as they will need a greater level of skill to be able to fight well with you.

Fighting together, Nami players will likely see an overall large increase in your team’s ability to deal magic damage. Combined, these two can blast through enemies with magic damage.

In contrast, by bringing Nami and Nidalee together, you probably will not be providing your other allies a lot of cover. Make sure to have other champions on your team that fills this relative hole in their capabilities.

Regardless of your Nidalee ally's ability, you should focus on maximizing your gold income, warding to avoid ambushes, and clearing objectives. If you do this, you will do well anyway.
