Overall, Lux sees a large worsening in her KDA (ratio of kills and assists to deaths) when paired with Poppy. His KDA went down from NaN to NaN. This drop shows that Poppy helps Lux perform poorer in ranked League of Legends games. Yet, the small difference demonstrates that this performance change is not very impactful.

When Lux is paired with Poppy, she sees a marginal improvement in her complete damage dealt. This change could signal that Poppy helps provide cover for her to dish out more damage or that her support also helps extend the match's duration. Similarly, when Lux is played with Poppy on the same side, he usually scores many fewer killing sprees than when she plays on his own. This is contrasting evidence that she is worse when playing alongside Poppy.

Moreover, when Lux plays with Poppy on the same side, she often receives a little more damage than when she fights alone. Taking more damage may mean that Poppy does a poor job of protecting Lux during team fights.

Is Lux better when played alongside Poppy?

There is no ideal champion pairing for Lux that will no matter what be her best ally. However, overall, Poppy is a very typical companion for Lux. By locking into the same side as Lux, she lowers their win rate by -0.4% to 49.4%. This shows that there is not really a strong synergy between Lux and Poppy that allows them to perform not as well together than without each other.

Poppy has a greater difficulty than Lux. That means you need to be very careful when arranging Poppy comrades to play with, as they will require a greater level of skill to play well with you.

When playing on the same side, Lux players will likely observe an overall large increase in your team’s capability to provide a lot of utility for your team. When paired, these two should be able to manipulate the pace of team fights.

Conversely, by grouping Lux and Poppy together, you will not be giving your team much AD. Plan to have other champs on your team that helps cover this disparity in their playstyle.

Regardless of the ability of your Poppy teammate, you should focus on maximizing your income, outlasting your enemies, and clearing objectives. If you do this, you should do well, regardless.
