Is Bard better when played alongside Twitch?

There is no top companion for Bard that will always be his #1 ally. However, Twitch is a relatively poor ally for Bard. By being on the same side as Bard, he lowers their win rate by -1.9% to 50.4%. This shows that there is a bad bond between Bard and Twitch that results in them performing not as well together than alone.

Twitch has a much lower diffuclty than Bard. That means Bard players don't need to be very careful when enlisting Twitch allies to fight alongside, as they will need a much lower level of skill to be able to do well with you.

Working together, Bard players should observe an overall large increase in your team’s capability to dish out massive AD. Combined, these two should be able to take down targets with auto-attacks and other AD damage abilities.

Although, by pairing Bard and Twitch together, you will not be granting your side much cover. We recommend you bring other champs on your team that neutralizes this relative disparity in their abilities.

Regardless of the ability of your Twitch ally, you need to focus on increasing your gold income, outlasting your enemies, and clearing objectives. If you heed this simple advice, you should do well anyway.
