Overall, Rengar sees a very large drop in his KDA (ratio of kills and assists to deaths) when paired with Bard. His KDA decreased from NaN to NaN.

This change may demonstrate that Bard provides cover for him to deal more damage or that his presence also helps increase the round's duration.

This is contrasting evidence that he is worse when playing alongside Bard.

Additionally, when Rengar plays with Bard on the same side, he typically takes a little more damage than when he plays alone. Getting dealt more damage could mean that Bard does a poor job of covering Rengar during team fights.
