Is Vayne better when played alongside Akali?

There is no ideal ally for Vayne that will always be her top teammate. Yet, Akali is a below average ally for Vayne. By locking into the same side as Vayne, she drops their win rate by -1.4% to 48.9%. This clearly indicates that there is a negative strategic relationship between Vayne and Akali that allows them to perform not as well together than without each other.

Akali has a lower difficulty than Vayne. That means Vayne players don't need to be careful when enlisting Akali allies to play with, as they will need a relatively low level of skill to fight well with you.

Playing alongside, Vayne players will likely witness an overall large increase in your team’s capacity 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 grouping Vayne and Akali together, you may not be granting your other allies very much engage. Plan to include other champs on your team that nullifies this gap in this pairing's playstyle.

Regardless of your Akali ally's ability, you need to focus on maximizing your gold income, outlasting your enemies, and taking down objectives. If you heed this simple advice, you should do well anyway.
