Is Nocturne better when played alongside Samira?

There is no top champion pairing for Nocturne that will 100% of the time be his top teammate. However, Samira is a below average companion for Nocturne. By locking into the same side as Nocturne, she lowers their win rate by -1.7% to 50.1%. This demonstrates that there is a bad bond between Nocturne and Samira that allows them to perform worse together than alone.

Samira has a greater difficulty than Nocturne. That means you should be very careful when arranging Samira allies to play with, as they will need a greater level of skill to be able to fight well with you.

Playing on the same side, you should observe an overall large increase in your team’s capability to dish out massive AD. Combined, these champions can tear through the other team with a lot of physcial damage.

In contrast, by bringing Nocturne and Samira together, you will not be granting your side very much support. Make sure to have other champs on your team that offsets this relative hole in this pairing's capabilities.

Regardless of your Samira ally's ability, you should focus on increasing your gold income, staying alive by avoiding foolish fights, and clearing objectives. If you heed this simple advice, you should do well anyway.
