Is Aphelios better when played alongside Nidalee?

There is no top champion pairing for Aphelios that will 100% of the time be his #1 teammate. However, overall, Nidalee is a very bad companion for Aphelios. By locking into the same team as Aphelios, she lowers their win rate by -6.0% to 42.6%. This clearly indicates that there is a very bad strategic relationship between Aphelios and Nidalee that allows them to perform worse together than without each other.

Nidalee has a lower difficulty than Aphelios. That means you don't need to be careful when arranging Nidalee teammates to fight alongside, as they will need a relatively low level of skill to do well with you.

Fighting alongside, you should witness an overall large increase in your team’s capability to dish out massive AD. When paired, these two should be able to take down targets with auto-attacks and other AD damage abilities.

Although, by bringing Aphelios and Nidalee together, you probably will not be granting your team much protection for burst damage. Make sure to include other champs on your team that fills this disparity in their kit.

Regardless of the ability of your Nidalee teammate, you should focus on maximizing your income, outlasting your enemies, and clearing objectives. If you heed this simple advice, you will do well anyway.
