Is Vex better when played alongside Illaoi?

There is no one best ally for Vex that will 100% of the time be their #1 synergy. Yet, Illaoi is a very typical companion for Vex. By being on the same team as Vex, she increases their win rate by 0.1% to 48.9%. This shows that there is a weak synergy between Vex and Illaoi that allows them to perform at the top of their game together than alone.

Illaoi has a much greater difficulty compared to Vex. That means you must be careful when lining up Illaoi teammates to fight alongside, as they will require a much higher level of skill to be able to cooperate well with you.

Working together, you should expect to witness an overall large increase in your team’s ability to deal physical damage. Together, these champs can tear through the other team with a lot of physcial damage.

Conversely, by grouping Vex and Illaoi together, you may not be granting your side enough AP. Make sure to pick other champs on your team that helps cover this relative gap in their capabilities.

Regardless of your Illaoi ally's skill level, you need to focus on maximizing your income, outlasting your enemies, and taking down objectives. If you heed this simple advice, you should do well anyway.
