This is contrasting evidence that he is worse when playing with Ashe.

Is Bard better when played alongside Ashe?

There is no universally accepted best synergy for Bard that will 100% of the time be his ideal ally. However, Ashe is a below average ally for Bard. By playing on the same side as Bard, she lowers their win rate by -1.1% to 51.2%. This signals that there is a bad synergy between Bard and Ashe that results in them performing not as well together than without each other.

Ashe has a much lower diffuclty than Bard. That means Bard players don't need to be careful when enlisting Ashe teammates to play with, as they will have to have a much lower level of skill to be able to work well with you.

When playing together, Bard players should expect to see an overall large increase in your team’s capability to dish out massive AD. When paired, these champions should be able to take down targets with auto-attacks and other AD damage abilities.

Although, by pairing Bard and Ashe together, you will not be granting your side enough magic damage. We recommend you include other champions on your team that offsets this gap in this pairing's capabilities.

Regardless of your Ashe ally's skill level, you need to focus on increasing your income, outlasting your enemies, and clearing objectives. If you do this, you should do well, regardless.
