This is contrasting evidence that he is worse when playing alongside Darius.

Fighting alongside, you should observe an overall large increase in your team’s capacity to dish out massive AD. When paired, these champions can provide a great amount of sustained physical damage.
In contrast, by pairing Bard and Darius together, you probably will not be giving your other allies a great deal of magical damage output. Plan to pick other champs on your team that offsets this relative hole in their potential.
Regardless of your Darius ally's ability, you need to focus on maximizing your gold income, warding to avoid ambushes, and clearing objectives. If you heed this simple advice, you should do well anyway.
