How to Play with Samira as Vladimir in LoL

The Vladimir Samira synergy stats shown here demonstrate the areas of his gameplay that do better (or worse) when paired with Samira, 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 Samira. His KDA went down from NaN to NaN.

When Vladimir tries to synergize with Samira, he gets a little decrease in his total damage dealt. This change may demonstrate that Samira does not support by providing protection for him to deal more damage or that her participation also helps extend the game's duration. Similarly, when Vladimir is played alongside Samira on the same team, he usually scores many fewer killing sprees than when he plays on his own. This is contrasting evidence that he is worse when playing synergisticly with Samira.

Additionally, when Vladimir plays with Samira on the same side, he usually takes a little less damage than when he plays alone. Getting dealt not as much damage may mean that Samira does a decent job of protecting Vladimir during team fights.

Is Vladimir better when played alongside Samira?

There is no ideal companion for Vladimir that will always be his best synergy. However, Samira is a below average ally for Vladimir. By locking into the same team as Vladimir, she decreases their win rate by -1.9% to 48.1%. This signals that there is a bad synergy between Vladimir and Samira that allows them to perform worse together than without each other.

Samira has a lower difficulty than Vladimir. That means you don't need to be cautious when enlisting Samira comrades to fight alongside, as they will need a lower level of skill to be able to play well with you.

When playing on the same side, you should expect to observe an overall large increase in your team’s capability to deal magical damage. Together, these two are able to dish out a surprising amount of magic type damage.

Conversely, by grouping Vladimir and Samira together, you will not be providing your other teammates enough support. We recommend you include other champs on your team that neutralizes this relative hole in their capabilities.

Regardless of the skill of your Samira ally, 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.
