Is Nocturne better when played alongside Nami?
There is no universally accepted best ally for Nocturne that will always be his top ally. However, Nami is a not very good companion for Nocturne. By being on the same side as Nocturne, she decreases their win rate by -1.7% to 50.1%. This clearly indicates that there is a bad strategic relationship between Nocturne and Nami that results in them performing worse together than alone.
Nami has a greater difficulty than Nocturne. That means Nocturne players should be careful when lining up Nami allies to fight alongside, as they will need a greater level of skill to be able to work well with you.
Fighting alongside, Nocturne players should expect to see an overall large increase in your team’s ability to destroy wih physical damage. Combined, these champions should be able to take down targets with auto-attacks and other AD damage abilities.
In contrast, by aligning Nocturne and Nami together, you will not be granting your side much protection for burst damage. We recommend you have other champs on your team that neutralizes this relative disparity in their kit.
Regardless of your Nami ally's skill level, you should focus on increasing your gold income, outlasting your enemies, and taking down objectives. If you heed this simple advice, you will do well anyway.
