Is Nidalee better when played alongside Poppy?

There is no universally accepted best champion pairing for Nidalee that will always be her top teammate. However, Poppy is a very bad ally for Nidalee. By playing on the same team as Nidalee, she drops their win rate by -5.8% to 39.0%. This demonstrates that there is an easy to overcome and exploit bond between Nidalee and Poppy that results in them performing worse together than without each other.
