Is Nocturne better when played alongside Ziggs?

There is no top ally for Nocturne that will no matter what be his ideal teammate. Yet, overall, Ziggs is a very typical companion for Nocturne. By locking into the same team as Nocturne, he has no effect on their win rate by 0.0% to 51.8%. This demonstrates that there is not really a strong bond between Nocturne and Ziggs that allows them to perform at the same level together than alone.

Ziggs has a lower difficulty than Nocturne. That means you don't need to be cautious when lining up Ziggs comrades to go into battle on the same side as, as they will have to have a relatively low level of skill to be able to cooperate well with you.

Playing on the same side, you should witness an overall large increase in your team’s capability to deal physical damage. Combined, these two can provide a great amount of sustained physical damage.

In contrast, by bringing Nocturne and Ziggs together, you will not be granting your other allies a great deal of crowd control. We recommend you include other champs on your team that offsets this hole in their abilities.

Regardless of your Ziggs ally's skill level, you need to focus on increasing your income, staying alive by avoiding foolish fights, and taking down objectives. If you do this, you should do well anyway.
