There is no perfect ally for Nami that will no matter what be her top teammate. Yet, Samira is a not very good teammate for Nami. By playing on the same side as Nami, she lowers their win rate by -2.4% to 46.7%. This clearly indicates that there is a negative bond between Nami and Samira that allows them to perform not as well together than alone.

Samira has a greater difficulty than Nami. That means Nami players must be cautious when finding Samira teammates to fight alongside, as they will need a greater level of skill to do well with you.

Fighting on the same side, Nami players should expect to observe an overall large increase in your team’s capacity to dish out massive AD. When paired, these champions can provide a great amount of sustained physical damage.

In contrast, by aligning Nami and Samira together, you may not be granting your side enough cover. Make sure to include other champs on your team that neutralizes this disparity in their potential.

Regardless of your Samira ally's skill level, you should focus on increasing your gold income, staying alive by avoiding foolish fights, and clearing objectives. If you do this, you should do well, regardless.
