Is Ekko better when played alongside Darius?

There is no top companion for Ekko that will no matter what be his top ally. Yet, Darius is a very typical teammate for Ekko. By locking into the same side as Ekko, he has no effect on their win rate by 0.0% to 51.0%. This clearly indicates that there is a weak synergy between Ekko and Darius that results in them performing at the same level together than alone.

Darius has a much lower diffuclty than Ekko. That means Ekko players don't need to be cautious when arranging Darius teammates to go into battle on the same side as, as they will require a much lower level of skill to be able to do well with you.

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

In contrast, by aligning Ekko and Darius together, you probably will not be providing your other teammates enough support. Make sure to pick other champs on your team that neutralizes this relative disparity in their potential.

Regardless of your Darius ally's ability, you should focus on maximizing your gold income, staying alive by avoiding foolish fights, and clearing objectives. If you do this, you should do well, regardless.
