Overall, Nami sees a very large drop in her KDA (ratio of kills and assists to deaths) when paired with Varus. His KDA fell from NaN to NaN. This decrease shows that Varus helps Nami perform not as well in competitive League rounds. Yet, the small difference shows that this performance change is only marginal.
When Nami tries to synergize with Varus, she sees a little drop in her full damage dealt. This may indicate that Varus does not support by providing protection for her to deal more damage or that his allyship also helps increase the round's duration. Similarly, when Nami is played together with Varus on the same side, he usually scores many fewer killing sprees than when she plays without Varus. This is contrasting evidence that she is worse when playing with Varus.
Additionally, when Nami plays with Varus on the same side, she on average takes a little more damage than when she plays alone. Getting dealt more damage could mean that Varus does a poor job of covering Nami during team fights.

Varus has a much lower diffuclty than Nami. That means Nami players don't need to be very careful when arranging Varus comrades to go into battle on the same side as, as they will have to have a much lower level of skill to be able to work well with you.
When playing on the same side, Nami players should see an overall large increase in your team’s capacity to buff allies and debuff enemies. Combined, these two should be able to manipulate the pace of team fights.
Although, by aligning Nami and Varus together, you probably will not be giving your side very much protection for burst damage. We recommend you pick other champs on your team that fills this disparity in this pairing's playstyle.
Regardless of your Varus ally's skill level, you should focus on increasing your income, outlasting your enemies, and clearing objectives. If you follow these simple suggestions, you will do well, regardless.
