When playing alongside, you should witness an overall large increase in your team’s capability to support your allies. When paired, these champions may be able to carry with the power of their abilities.
Although, by bringing Nami and Riven together, you may not be giving your team very much magic damage. We recommend you have other champs on your team that helps cover this gap in their abilities.
