Overall, Xerath sees a large worsening in his KDA (ratio of kills and assists to deaths) when paired with Nami. His KDA decreased from NaN to NaN.

This change may indicate that Nami provides protection for him to dish out more damage or that her presence on the team also helps extend the game's duration. Similarly, when Xerath is played together with Nami on the same side, he usually scores many fewer killing sprees than when he plays on his own. This is contrasting evidence that he is worse when playing with Nami.

Additionally, when Xerath plays with Nami on the same team, he typically takes a little more damage than when he fights alone. Taking more damage may mean that Nami does a poor job of covering Xerath during teamfights.

Is Xerath better when played alongside Nami?

There is no perfect ally for Xerath that will always be his ideal teammate. Yet, Nami is a very typical teammate for Xerath. By playing on the same team as Xerath, she raises their win rate by 0.1% to 50.7%. This demonstrates that there is not really a strong bond between Xerath and Nami that results in them performing stronger together than alone.

Nami has a much lower diffuclty than Xerath. That means Xerath players don't need to be cautious when arranging Nami allies to go into battle on the same side as, as they will have to have a much lower level of skill to fight well with you.

When playing cooperatively, you should observe an overall large increase in your team’s capability to deal magic damage. When paired, these two can deal quite a lot of AP type damage.

Although, by bringing Xerath and Nami together, you probably will not be providing your other teammates a great deal of sustained damage output. We recommend you include other champions on your team that fills this relative disparity in their potential.

Regardless of your Nami ally's skill level, you need to focus on maximizing your income, staying alive by avoiding foolish fights, and clearing objectives. If you do this, you will do well anyway.
