Is Ryze better when played alongside Naafiri?
There is no one best champion pairing for Ryze that will always be his #1 synergy. Yet, Naafiri is a terrible ally for Ryze. By locking into the same side as Ryze, they decreases their win rate by -3.1% to 45.9%.

Naafiri has a much lower diffuclty than Ryze. That means Ryze players don't need to be cautious when lining up Naafiri allies to play with, as they will need a much lower level of skill to be able to do well with you.
Playing on the same side, Ryze players should see an overall large increase in your team’s ability to deal physical damage. Together, these two should be able to take down targets with auto-attacks and other AD damage abilities.
Although, by aligning Ryze and Naafiri together, you may not be giving your other allies enough protection for burst damage. We recommend you have other champs on your team that nullifies this relative hole in their kit.
Regardless of your Naafiri ally's ability, you need to focus on maximizing your income, warding to avoid ambushes, and taking down objectives. If you do this, you should do well anyway.
