This proves that there is a harmful bond between Kennen and Ryze that results in them performing worse together than alone.

Ryze has a greater difficulty than Kennen. That means Kennen players should be cautious when finding Ryze allies to play with, as they will have to have a greater level of skill to be able to fight well with you.
