This proves that there is a bad synergy between Nami and Skarner that results in them performing not as well together than without each other.

Skarner has a lower difficulty than Nami. That means you don't need to be very careful when enlisting Skarner allies to go into battle on the same side as, as they will have to have a lower level of skill to be able to play well with you.
