Is Poppy better when played alongside Nami?

There is no one best synergy for Poppy that will always be her best ally. Yet, Nami is a not very good teammate for Poppy. By playing on the same side as Poppy, she drops their win rate by -1.8% to 47.9%. This signals that there is a negative bond between Poppy and Nami that results in them performing not as well together than without each other.

Nami has a lower difficulty than Poppy. That means Poppy players don't need to be cautious when finding Nami allies to play with, as they will need a relatively low level of skill to be able to fight well with you.

When playing together, you should expect to observe an overall large increase in your team’s capability to buff allies and debuff enemies. Combined, these two should be able to manipulate the pace of team fights.

Although, by grouping Poppy and Nami together, you probably will not be granting your other allies enough magic damage. We recommend you have other champions on your team that fills this relative disparity in their potential.

Regardless of your Nami ally's ability, you should focus on increasing your income, outlasting your enemies, and taking down objectives. If you follow these simple suggestions, you should do well anyway.
