How to Play with Gwen as Vladimir in LoL

The Vladimir Gwen synergy stats shown here demonstrate the areas of his gameplay that do better (or worse) when paired with Gwen, compared to his overall stats. Significant differences are areas of focus that highlight how his gameplay changes when paired with this other champion.

Overall, Vladimir sees a large worsening in his KDA (ratio of kills and assists to deaths) when paired with Gwen. His KDA went down from NaN to NaN. This decrease shows that Gwen helps Vladimir perform worse in competitive League of Legends games. Yet, the small difference shows that this performance change is not very impactful.

When Vladimir tries to synergize with Gwen, he observes a barely noticable drop in his full damage output. This change may demonstrate that Gwen does not provide protection for him to dish out more damage or that her presence on the team also helps increase the round's duration. Similarly, when Vladimir is played together with Gwen on the same team, he usually scores many fewer killing sprees compared to when he plays alone. This is contrasting evidence that he is worse when playing alongside Gwen.

Moreover, when Vladimir plays with Gwen on the same team, he often receives a little less damage than when he fights alone. Taking not as much damage could indicate that Gwen does a decent job of protecting Vladimir in team fights.

Is Vladimir better when played alongside Gwen?

There is no one best ally for Vladimir that will always be his ideal teammate. However, overall, Gwen is a not very good teammate for Vladimir. By being on the same side as Vladimir, she lowers their win rate by -1.6% to 48.4%. This signals that there is a bad bond between Vladimir and Gwen that results in them performing worse together than alone.

Gwen has a lower difficulty than Vladimir. That means Vladimir players don't need to be very careful when lining up Gwen comrades to play with, as they will need a relatively low level of skill to work well with you.

Playing alongside, Vladimir players will likely witness an overall large increase in your team’s capacity to deal magical damage. Combined, these two are able to dish out a surprising amount of magic type damage.

Although, by pairing Vladimir and Gwen together, you may not be providing your other teammates a great deal of utility. Plan to pick other champions on your team that helps cover this hole in this pairing's potential.

Regardless of your Gwen ally's skill level, you should focus on increasing your income, staying alive by avoiding foolish fights, and taking down objectives. If you heed this simple advice, you should do well, regardless.
