Overall, Nami sees a large worsening in her KDA (ratio of kills and assists to deaths) when paired with Sylas. His KDA fell from NaN to NaN.

This change may signal that Sylas does not support by providing cover for her to dish out more damage or that his presence also helps increase the round's duration.

This is contrasting evidence that she is worse when playing with Sylas.
