Is Vi better when played alongside Rakan?
There is no universally accepted best champion pairing for Vi that will always be her best synergy. Yet, overall, Rakan is a very typical companion for Vi. By locking into the same team as Vi, he lowers their win rate by -1.0% to 50.6%. This clearly indicates that there is only a small bond between Vi and Rakan that results in them performing not as well together than alone.
Rakan has a greater difficulty than Vi. That means you should be cautious when finding Rakan comrades to go into battle on the same side as, as they will need a greater level of skill to do well with you.
Playing together, you should expect to observe an overall large increase in your team’s capability to buff allies and debuff enemies. Combined, these champions will help their other teammates secure a victory.
Conversely, by grouping Vi and Rakan together, you probably will not be granting your other allies a lot of protection for burst damage. We recommend you include other champs on your team that neutralizes this gap in their playstyle.
Regardless of your Rakan ally's ability, you should focus on maximizing your gold income, warding to avoid ambushes, and clearing objectives. If you do this, you will do well anyway.
