Overall, Nami sees a very large drop in her KDA (ratio of kills and assists to deaths) when paired with Poppy. His KDA went down from NaN to NaN.

When Nami is an ally to Poppy, she sees a small increase in her full damage dealt. This change could demonstrate that Poppy helps provide cover for her to deal more damage or that her allyship also helps increase the match's duration.

This is contrasting evidence that she is worse when playing alongside Poppy.
Additionally, when Nami plays with Poppy on the same side, she typically receives a little more damage than when she plays alone. Taking more damage could mean that Poppy does a poor job of protecting Nami during team fights.
