Overall, Bard sees a very large drop in his KDA (ratio of kills and assists to deaths) when paired with Ivern. His KDA decreased from NaN to NaN.

This difference could signal that Ivern supports by providing protection for him to deal more damage or that his support also helps extend the match's duration. Similarly, when Bard is played together with Ivern on the same team, he usually scores many fewer killing sprees than when he plays without Ivern. This is contrasting evidence that he is worse when playing with Ivern.
Moreover, when Bard plays with Ivern on the same side, he usually takes a little less damage than when he fights alone. Receiving not as much damage could mean that Ivern does a decent job of covering Bard during team fights.
