Overall, Nocturne sees a large worsening in his KDA (ratio of kills and assists to deaths) when paired with Vex. His KDA fell from NaN to NaN. This drop shows that Vex helps Nocturne perform poorer in ranked League rounds. Yet, the small difference proves that this performance change is not very impactful.
When Nocturne tries to synergize with Vex, he observes a little increase in his full damage dealt. This may indicate that Vex helps provide protection for him to dish out more damage or that their allyship also helps increase the game's duration. Similarly, when Nocturne is played together with Vex on the same side, he usually scores many fewer killing sprees than when he plays on his own. This is contrasting evidence that he is worse when playing alongside Vex.
Additionally, when Nocturne plays with Vex on the same team, he on average takes a little more damage than when he fights alone. Taking more damage could mean that Vex does a poor job of protecting Nocturne in teamfights.
There is no universally accepted best synergy for Nocturne that will 100% of the time be his #1 ally. Yet, Vex is a very typical companion for Nocturne. By being on the same team as Nocturne, they lowers their win rate by -0.3% to 51.5%. This demonstrates that there is a weak bond between Nocturne and Vex that allows them to perform worse together than without each other.
Vex has a much lower diffuclty than Nocturne. That means you don't need to be careful when arranging Vex comrades to fight alongside, as they will need a much lower level of skill to be able to play well with you.
When playing together, Nocturne players will likely see an overall large increase in your team’s ability to dish out massive AD. Together, these champs should be able to take down targets with auto-attacks and other AD damage abilities.
