Nami has a greater difficulty than Varus. That means you must be careful when arranging Nami allies to go into battle on the same side as, as they will require a greater level of skill to fight well with you.
Fighting alongside, you should observe an overall large increase in your team’s capacity to provide a lot of utility for your team. Together, these champs may be able to carry with the power of their abilities.
In contrast, by grouping Varus and Nami together, you will not be giving your other teammates a lot of tankyness. We recommend you pick other champions on your team that neutralizes this relative gap in their potential.
Regardless of the ability of your Nami teammate, you should focus on increasing your income, warding to avoid ambushes, and clearing objectives. If you do this, you should do well anyway.
