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

This is contrasting evidence that he is worse when playing synergisticly with Samira.
Moreover, when Pyke plays with Samira on the same side, he often takes a little less damage than when he fights alone. Getting dealt not as much damage could mean that Samira does a decent job of protecting Pyke in team fights.

Is Pyke better when played alongside Samira?
There is no top ally for Pyke that will 100% of the time be his ideal ally. However, Samira is a not very good companion for Pyke. By being on the same team as Pyke, she decreases their win rate by -2.1% to 47.0%. This proves that there is a harmful bond between Pyke and Samira that results in them performing not as well together than alone.
Samira has a lower difficulty than Pyke. That means Pyke players don't need to be cautious when enlisting Samira allies to fight alongside, as they will need a lower level of skill to do well with you.
When playing alongside, you should see an overall large increase in your team’s capability to dish out massive AD. When paired, these champs should be able to take down targets with auto-attacks and other AD damage abilities.
In contrast, by aligning Pyke and Samira together, you may not be granting your other allies very much AP. We recommend you bring other champs on your team that offsets this relative hole in this pairing's playstyle.
Regardless of the ability of your Samira ally, you need to focus on maximizing your gold income, outlasting your enemies, and taking down objectives. If you follow these simple suggestions, you will do well anyway.
