Overall, Elise sees a large worsening in her KDA (ratio of kills and assists to deaths) when paired with Bard. His KDA decreased from NaN to NaN. This fall shows that Bard helps Elise perform not as well in ranked League games. Yet, the small difference demonstrates that this performance change is only marginal.

When Elise is paired with Bard, she observes a marginal improvement in her total damage output. This could signal that Bard helps provide cover for her to dish out more damage or that his presence also helps increase the match's duration. Similarly, when Elise is played alongside Bard on the same team, he usually scores many fewer killing sprees compared to when she plays alone. This is contrasting evidence that she is worse when playing alongside Bard.

Moreover, when Elise plays with Bard on the same team, she often takes a little more damage than when she plays alone. Receiving more damage could indicate that Bard does a poor job of covering Elise during teamfights.
