How to Play with Aphelios as Nami in LoL

The Nami Aphelios synergy stats shown here demonstrate the areas of her gameplay that do better (or worse) when paired with Aphelios, compared to her overall stats. Significant differences are areas of focus that highlight how her gameplay changes when paired with this other champion.

Overall, Nami sees a very large drop in her KDA (ratio of kills and assists to deaths) when paired with Aphelios. His KDA fell from NaN to NaN. This drop shows that Aphelios helps Nami perform worse in competitive League of Legends matches. Yet, the small difference indicates that this performance change is not very impactful.

When Nami is an ally to Aphelios, she observes a small decrease in her full damage dealt. This difference could signal that Aphelios does not help cover for her to deal more damage or that his support also helps increase the round's duration. Similarly, when Nami is played alongside Aphelios on the same side, he usually scores many fewer killing sprees compared to when she plays without Aphelios. This is contrasting evidence that she is worse when playing synergisticly with Aphelios.

Moreover, when Nami plays with Aphelios on the same team, she on average receives a little less damage than when she plays alone. Getting dealt not as much damage may mean that Aphelios does a decent job of covering Nami in teamfights.

Is Nami better when played alongside Aphelios?

There is no universally accepted best ally for Nami that will always be her ideal synergy. However, Aphelios is a very typical companion for Nami. By playing on the same side as Nami, he raises their win rate by 0.9% to 50.0%. This shows that there is a weak strategic relationship between Nami and Aphelios that allows them to perform stronger together than without each other.

Aphelios has a much greater difficulty compared to Nami. That means Nami players need to be careful when arranging Aphelios allies to play with, as they will have to have a much greater level of skill to cooperate well with you.

Working alongside, you should observe an overall large increase in your team’s capacity to provide a lot of utility for your team. Combined, these champions may be able to carry with the power of their abilities.

Conversely, by aligning Nami and Aphelios together, you probably will not be giving your other allies very much protection for burst damage. Make sure to include other champions on your team that helps cover this relative gap in this pairing's abilities.

Regardless of the skill of your Aphelios teammate, you need to focus on increasing your income, outlasting your enemies, and taking down objectives. If you follow these simple suggestions, you should do well anyway.
