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

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

By being on the same side as Poppy, she drops their win rate by -1.6% to 48.1%. This shows that there is a bad synergy between Poppy and Samira that results in them performing worse together than without each other.

Samira has a lower difficulty than Poppy. That means you don't need to be very careful when lining up Samira teammates to go into battle on the same side as, as they will require a lower level of skill to be able to fight well with you.

Fighting alongside, you should expect to see an overall large increase in your team’s capacity to destroy wih physical damage. Together, these two can provide a great amount of sustained physical damage.

In contrast, by aligning Poppy and Samira together, you may not be giving your other teammates a great deal of magical damage output. Make sure to have other champions on your team that helps cover this disparity in this pairing's playstyle.

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