Overall, Viktor sees a very large drop in his KDA (ratio of kills and assists to deaths) when paired with Kindred. His KDA went down from NaN to NaN.

This may signal that Kindred does not provide cover for him to dish out more damage or that their support also helps increase the game's duration. Similarly, when Viktor is played with Kindred on the same side, he usually scores many fewer killing sprees than when he plays on his own. This is contrasting evidence that he is worse when playing with Kindred.
Additionally, when Viktor plays with Kindred on the same team, he usually receives a little less damage than when he fights alone. Receiving not as much damage may indicate that Kindred does a decent job of protecting Viktor during teamfights.
