Is Vex better when played alongside Nautilus?

There is no top ally for Vex that will always be their ideal ally. Yet, Nautilus is a not very good ally for Vex. By playing on the same side as Vex, he decreases their win rate by -2.4% to 46.4%. This proves that there is a bad bond between Vex and Nautilus that allows them to perform worse together than without each other.

Nautilus has a much greater difficulty compared to Vex. That means Vex players need to be careful when arranging Nautilus allies to go into battle on the same side as, as they will have to have a much higher level of skill to fight well with you.

When playing cooperatively, you should expect to see an overall large increase in your team’s capability to provide utility and CC for your side. When paired, these champions should be able to manipulate the pace of team fights.

Although, by aligning Vex and Nautilus together, you probably will not be providing your other allies very much anti-tank damage dealing potential. Plan to bring other champs on your team that neutralizes this gap in their kit.

Regardless of your Nautilus ally's skill level, you need to focus on maximizing your gold income, outlasting your enemies, and clearing objectives. If you heed this simple advice, you will do well, regardless.
