Overall, Bard sees a very large drop in his KDA (ratio of kills and assists to deaths) when paired with Lux. His KDA went down from NaN to NaN.

When Bard is an ally to Lux, he observes a small increase in his total damage dealt. This change may indicate that Lux provides protection for him to dish out more damage or that her presence on the team also helps increase the game's duration. Similarly, when Bard is played with Lux on the same side, he usually scores many fewer killing sprees compared to when he plays on his own. This is contrasting evidence that he is worse when playing synergisticly with Lux.

Additionally, when Bard plays with Lux on the same team, he on average takes a little more damage than when he plays alone. Receiving more damage could mean that Lux does a poor job of protecting Bard in teamfights.

This clearly indicates that there is a weak strategic relationship between Bard and Lux that results in them performing at the top of their game together than alone.

Lux has a much lower diffuclty than Bard. That means you don't need to be careful when enlisting Lux comrades to go into battle on the same side as, as they will have to have a much lower level of skill to be able to play well with you.

Fighting alongside, Bard players should witness an overall large increase in your team’s capacity to deal magical damage. Together, these two can deal quite a lot of AP type damage.

Conversely, by grouping Bard and Lux together, you may not be providing your other allies a great deal of AD. Make sure to bring other champs on your team that offsets this relative disparity in this pairing's kit.
