Is Illaoi better when played alongside Darius?

This clearly indicates that there is a terrible bond between Illaoi and Darius that allows them to perform worse together than without each other.

Darius has a lower difficulty than Illaoi. That means you don't need to be very careful when arranging Darius comrades to fight alongside, as they will need a relatively low level of skill to be able to cooperate well with you.

Working cooperatively, you should see an overall large increase in your team’s ability to deal physical damage. When paired, these champions should be able to take down targets with auto-attacks and other AD damage abilities.
