Overall, Bard sees a very large drop in his KDA (ratio of kills and assists to deaths) when paired with Sivir. His KDA decreased from NaN to NaN. This decrease shows that Sivir helps Bard perform not as well in ranked League of Legends rounds. Yet, the small difference demonstrates that this performance change is only marginal.
When Bard is paired with Sivir, he sees a marginal improvement in his full damage dealt. This could signal that Sivir helps provide cover for him to dish out more damage or that her presence on the team also helps extend the round's duration. Similarly, when Bard is played with Sivir on the same team, he usually scores many fewer killing sprees compared to when he plays without Sivir. This is contrasting evidence that he is worse when playing alongside Sivir.
Moreover, when Bard plays with Sivir on the same side, he typically receives a little more damage than when he fights alone. Taking more damage may mean that Sivir does a poor job of protecting Bard in team fights.

Is Bard better when played alongside Sivir?
There is no universally accepted best ally for Bard that will 100% of the time be his best ally. Yet, Sivir is a not very good companion for Bard. By playing on the same side as Bard, she decreases their win rate by -2.1% to 50.2%. This demonstrates that there is a bad strategic relationship between Bard and Sivir that allows them to perform not as well together than alone.
Sivir has a much lower diffuclty than Bard. That means you don't need to be very careful when lining up Sivir teammates to fight alongside, as they will have to have a much lower level of skill to be able to do well with you.
When playing together, Bard players will likely see an overall large increase in your team’s ability to destroy wih physical damage. Together, these champs can provide a great amount of sustained physical damage.
Conversely, by aligning Bard and Sivir together, you will not be providing your other allies a great deal of magic damage. We recommend you have other champions on your team that fills this disparity in their kit.
Regardless of your Sivir ally's skill level, you need to focus on increasing your income, outlasting your enemies, and taking down objectives. If you do this, you will do well anyway.
