How to Play with Ryze as Bard in LoL

The Bard Ryze synergy stats shown here demonstrate the areas of his gameplay that do better (or worse) when paired with Ryze, compared to his overall stats. Significant differences are areas of focus that highlight how his gameplay changes when paired with this other champion.

Overall, Bard sees a very large drop in his KDA (ratio of kills and assists to deaths) when paired with Ryze. His KDA went down from NaN to NaN. This negative change shows that Ryze helps Bard perform not as well in competitive League of Legends games. Yet, the small difference demonstrates that this performance change is not very impactful.

When Bard tries to synergize with Ryze, he gets a barely noticable drop in his total damage dealt. This change may demonstrate that Ryze does not support by providing protection for him to dish out more damage or that his presence on the team also helps extend the round's duration. Similarly, when Bard is played with Ryze on the same team, he usually scores many fewer killing sprees compared to when he plays without Ryze. This is contrasting evidence that he is worse when playing alongside Ryze.

Moreover, when Bard plays with Ryze on the same side, he on average takes a little more damage than when he fights alone. Getting dealt more damage may indicate that Ryze does a poor job of protecting Bard during teamfights.

Is Bard better when played alongside Ryze?

There is no ideal ally for Bard that will 100% of the time be his #1 ally. Yet, overall, Ryze is a very typical companion for Bard. By playing on the same side as Bard, he increases their win rate by 0.4% to 52.7%. This proves that there is a weak strategic relationship between Bard and Ryze that allows them to perform at the top of their game together than alone.

Ryze has a lower difficulty than Bard. That means Bard players don't need to be cautious when lining up Ryze allies to play with, as they will have to have a relatively low level of skill to cooperate well with you.

Working on the same side, Bard players should expect to witness an overall large increase in your team’s capacity to deal magical damage. Together, these two are able to dish out a surprising amount of magic type damage.

Conversely, by aligning Bard and Ryze together, you probably will not be granting your team a lot of attack damage. We recommend you pick other champions on your team that nullifies this relative gap in their capabilities.

Regardless of your Ryze ally's ability, you need to focus on increasing your income, outlasting your enemies, and taking down objectives. If you follow these simple suggestions, you will do well anyway.
