When Amumu tries to synergize with Darius, he sees a little decrease in his full damage dealt. This change may indicate that Darius doesn't help cover for him to deal more damage or that his allyship also helps extend the game's duration. Similarly, when Amumu is played with Darius on the same team, he usually scores many fewer killing sprees compared to when he plays without Darius. This is contrasting evidence that he is worse when playing alongside Darius.
Moreover, when Amumu plays with Darius on the same side, he on average takes a little less damage than when he fights alone. Taking not as much damage may mean that Darius does a decent job of covering Amumu in team fights.
