Overall, Akali sees a very large drop in her KDA (ratio of kills and assists to deaths) when paired with Ryze. His KDA worsened from NaN to NaN.

This is contrasting evidence that she is worse when playing synergisticly with Ryze.
Moreover, when Akali plays with Ryze on the same team, she typically takes a little less damage than when she plays alone. Taking not as much damage could indicate that Ryze does a decent job of protecting Akali during teamfights.
