This is contrasting evidence that he is worse when playing with Pantheon.
Additionally, when Azir plays with Pantheon on the same side, he on average takes a little more damage than when he plays alone. Getting dealt more damage could mean that Pantheon does a poor job of protecting Azir in teamfights.
