By being on the same team as Darius, she lowers their win rate by -2.0% to 47.2%.

When playing cooperatively, you will likely see an overall large increase in your team’s ability to dish out massive AD. When paired, these two can tear through the other team with a lot of physcial damage.

Conversely, by bringing Darius and Syndra together, you will not be giving your side a great deal of engage. Make sure to bring other champs on your team that offsets this relative hole in this pairing's kit.
