Overall, Vladimir sees a very large drop in his KDA (ratio of kills and assists to deaths) when paired with Naafiri. His KDA fell from NaN to NaN. This decrease shows that Naafiri helps Vladimir perform not as well in ranked League games. Yet, the small difference proves that this performance change is only marginal.

When Vladimir is an ally to Naafiri, he sees a barely noticable drop in his total damage output. This change could signal that Naafiri does not help protection for him to deal more damage or that their support also helps increase the game's duration. Similarly, when Vladimir is played alongside Naafiri on the same team, he usually scores many fewer killing sprees compared to when he plays alone. This is contrasting evidence that he is worse when playing alongside Naafiri.

Additionally, when Vladimir plays with Naafiri on the same side, he often receives a little less damage than when he plays alone. Taking not as much damage could indicate that Naafiri does a decent job of covering Vladimir during team fights.

Is Vladimir better when played alongside Naafiri?

There is no universally accepted best champion pairing for Vladimir that will 100% of the time be his best ally. Yet, Naafiri is a not very good ally for Vladimir. By locking into the same side as Vladimir, they lowers their win rate by -3.0% to 47.0%. This demonstrates that there is a negative bond between Vladimir and Naafiri that results in them performing worse together than alone.

Naafiri has a much lower diffuclty than Vladimir. That means Vladimir players don't need to be very careful when lining up Naafiri comrades to go into battle on the same side as, as they will need a much lower level of skill to be able to do well with you.

Working on the same side, Vladimir players 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.

Conversely, by pairing Vladimir and Naafiri together, you probably will not be granting your other teammates much crowd control. Plan to pick other champs on your team that neutralizes this relative hole in their playstyle.

Regardless of your Naafiri ally's ability, you need to focus on increasing your income, outlasting your enemies, and clearing objectives. If you do this, you should do well anyway.
