How to Play with Vex as Bard in LoL

The Bard Vex synergy stats shown here demonstrate the areas of his gameplay that do better (or worse) when paired with Vex, 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 large worsening in his KDA (ratio of kills and assists to deaths) when paired with Vex. His KDA decreased from NaN to NaN. This fall shows that Vex helps Bard perform not as well in ranked League of Legends games. Yet, the small difference proves that this performance change is only marginal.

When Bard is paired with Vex, he gets a marginal improvement in his total damage dealt. This change could demonstrate that Vex provides protection for him to dish out more damage or that their presence on the team also helps extend the match's duration. Similarly, when Bard is played alongside Vex on the same team, he usually scores many fewer killing sprees than when he plays on his own. This is contrasting evidence that he is worse when playing synergisticly with Vex.

Moreover, when Bard plays with Vex on the same team, he usually takes a little more damage than when he plays alone. Getting dealt more damage may mean that Vex does a poor job of protecting Bard during team fights.

Is Bard better when played alongside Vex?

There is no top companion for Bard that will always be his best teammate. However, Vex is a very typical companion for Bard. By being on the same side as Bard, they lowers their win rate by -1.0% to 51.3%. This signals that there is a weak synergy between Bard and Vex that results in them performing worse together than without each other.

Vex has a much lower diffuclty than Bard. That means you don't need to be cautious when enlisting Vex allies to go into battle on the same side as, as they will require a much lower level of skill to be able to work well with you.

When playing alongside, you should expect to see an overall large increase in your team’s capability to provide utility and CC for your side. Combined, these champions should be able to manipulate the pace of team fights.

Although, by bringing Bard and Vex together, you probably will not be giving your other allies a lot of sustained damage output. We recommend you bring other champions on your team that offsets this relative disparity in their abilities.

Regardless of the skill of your Vex teammate, you should focus on increasing your gold income, staying alive by avoiding foolish fights, and taking down objectives. If you follow these simple suggestions, you should do well, regardless.
