Overall, Bard sees a very large drop in his KDA (ratio of kills and assists to deaths) when paired with Kled. His KDA worsened from NaN to NaN. This fall shows that Kled helps Bard perform not as well in competitive League of Legends matches. Yet, the small difference demonstrates that this performance change is not very impactful.
When Bard is an ally to Kled, he gets a small decrease in his total damage dealt. This change may indicate that Kled doesn't help protection for him to dish out more damage or that his participation also helps extend the match's duration. Similarly, when Bard is played alongside Kled on the same team, he usually scores many fewer killing sprees than when he plays without Kled. This is contrasting evidence that he is worse when playing with Kled.
Additionally, when Bard plays with Kled on the same team, he on average takes a little less damage than when he plays alone. Getting dealt not as much damage may mean that Kled does a decent job of covering Bard during teamfights.
