This is contrasting evidence that she is worse when playing alongside Rakan.

Is Nami better when played alongside Rakan?
There is no top ally for Nami that will 100% of the time be her ideal synergy. However, overall, Rakan is a very bad companion for Nami. By playing on the same team as Nami, he lowers their win rate by -7.4% to 41.7%. This signals that there is a very bad bond between Nami and Rakan that results in them performing not as well together than without each other.
Rakan has a lower difficulty than Nami. That means you don't need to be careful when arranging Rakan teammates to play with, as they will require a lower level of skill to be able to work well with you.
Working cooperatively, you should expect to see an overall large increase in your team’s ability to provide utility and CC for your side. Combined, these two may be able to carry with the power of their abilities.
Conversely, by aligning Nami and Rakan together, you probably will not be giving your other allies a great deal of sustained damage output. Plan to include other champions on your team that helps cover this gap in this pairing's playstyle.
Regardless of the ability of your Rakan teammate, you should focus on maximizing your gold income, warding to avoid ambushes, and clearing objectives. If you heed this simple advice, you should do well, regardless.
