Overall, Twitch sees a large worsening in his KDA (ratio of kills and assists to deaths) when paired with Varus. His KDA decreased from NaN to NaN. This fall shows that Varus helps Twitch perform not as well in competitive League of Legends matches. Yet, the small difference proves that this performance change is only marginal.
When Twitch tries to synergize with Varus, he sees a marginal improvement in his full damage dealt. This change may indicate that Varus helps provide cover for him to dish out more damage or that his support also helps increase the round's duration. Similarly, when Twitch is played with Varus on the same team, he usually scores many fewer killing sprees compared to when he plays on his own. This is contrasting evidence that he is worse when playing with Varus.
Moreover, when Twitch plays with Varus on the same team, he on average takes a little more damage than when he plays alone. Getting dealt more damage may mean that Varus does a poor job of protecting Twitch during team fights.

Is Twitch better when played alongside Varus?
There is no one best ally for Twitch that will 100% of the time be his top ally. Yet, Varus is a very bad ally for Twitch. By locking into the same team as Twitch, he lowers their win rate by -4.7% to 45.3%. This demonstrates that there is a very bad strategic relationship between Twitch and Varus that results in them performing not as well together than without each other.
Varus has a much lower diffuclty than Twitch. That means Twitch players don't need to be cautious when finding Varus comrades to go into battle on the same side as, as they will require a much lower level of skill to cooperate well with you.
When playing on the same side, Twitch players will likely witness an overall large increase in your team’s capacity to dish out massive AD. When paired, these champions can tear through the other team with a lot of physcial damage.
Conversely, by pairing Twitch and Varus together, you may not be giving your other allies a great deal of protection for burst damage. Plan to bring other champs on your team that nullifies this hole in this pairing's potential.
Regardless of the skill of your Varus ally, you should focus on increasing your gold income, warding to avoid ambushes, and clearing objectives. If you follow these simple suggestions, you should do well anyway.
