Overall, Bard sees a large worsening in his KDA (ratio of kills and assists to deaths) when paired with Elise. His KDA decreased from NaN to NaN.

This difference could demonstrate that Elise doesn't help protection for him to deal more damage or that her participation also helps increase the game's duration.

This is contrasting evidence that he is worse when playing synergisticly with Elise.

This demonstrates that there is not really a strong bond between Bard and Elise that allows them to perform stronger together than alone.
