Overall, Bard sees a large worsening in his KDA (ratio of kills and assists to deaths) when paired with Lillia. His KDA fell from NaN to NaN. This worsening shows that Lillia helps Bard perform poorer in ranked League of Legends matches. Yet, the small difference proves that this performance change is only marginal.

When Bard is an ally to Lillia, he gets a barely noticable drop in his complete damage output. This difference could indicate that Lillia doesn't help protection for him to deal more damage or that her presence on the team also helps extend the game's duration. Similarly, when Bard is played alongside Lillia on the same team, he usually scores many fewer killing sprees compared to when he plays without Lillia. This is contrasting evidence that he is worse when playing synergisticly with Lillia.

Moreover, when Bard plays with Lillia on the same side, he typically takes a little more damage than when he plays alone. Receiving more damage may indicate that Lillia does a poor job of covering Bard in teamfights.

Is Bard better when played alongside Lillia?

There is no top companion for Bard that will 100% of the time be his best teammate. Yet, Lillia is a superb teammate for Bard. By locking into the same side as Bard, she increases their win rate by 3.7% to 56.0%. This signals that there is a very strong synergy between Bard and Lillia that allows them to perform stronger together than alone.

Lillia has a lower difficulty than Bard. That means you don't need to be careful when finding Lillia allies to go into battle on the same side as, as they will have to have a lower level of skill to work well with you.

Fighting alongside, you should expect to observe an overall large increase in your team’s capacity to deal magical damage. Together, these two can deal quite a lot of AP type damage.

Conversely, by pairing Bard and Lillia together, you may not be providing your other teammates a great deal of anti-tank damage dealing potential. Make sure to include other champs on your team that helps cover this gap in their abilities.

Regardless of the ability of your Lillia teammate, you should focus on maximizing your income, warding to avoid ambushes, and taking down objectives. If you heed this simple advice, you will do well, regardless.
