Overall, Bard sees a large worsening in his KDA (ratio of kills and assists to deaths) when paired with Zeri. His KDA worsened from NaN to NaN.

This difference may indicate that Zeri does not support by providing cover for him to dish out more damage or that their participation also helps increase the match's duration. Similarly, when Bard is played together with Zeri on the same side, he usually scores many fewer killing sprees than when he plays on his own. This is contrasting evidence that he is worse when playing with Zeri.
Moreover, when Bard plays with Zeri on the same side, he usually receives a little less damage than when he fights alone. Getting dealt not as much damage could mean that Zeri does a decent job of covering Bard during team fights.

Is Bard better when played alongside Zeri?
There is no one best companion for Bard that will 100% of the time be his ideal teammate. Yet, overall, Zeri is a relatively poor teammate for Bard. By being on the same side as Bard, they lowers their win rate by -3.0% to 49.3%. This signals that there is a harmful strategic relationship between Bard and Zeri that results in them performing worse together than without each other.
Zeri has a much lower diffuclty than Bard. That means you don't need to be very careful when finding Zeri allies to go into battle on the same side as, as they will have to have a much lower level of skill to be able to do well with you.
When playing on the same side, Bard players should expect to observe an overall large increase in your team’s capability to deal physical damage. When paired, these two can tear through the other team with a lot of physcial damage.
Although, by grouping Bard and Zeri together, you probably will not be giving your other allies very much AP. We recommend you include other champs on your team that nullifies this relative hole in their playstyle.
Regardless of your Zeri ally's skill level, you should focus on maximizing your gold income, outlasting your enemies, and taking down objectives. If you heed this simple advice, you will do well anyway.
