This is contrasting evidence that he is worse when playing with Gwen.

Is Darius better when played alongside Gwen?

There is no one best ally for Darius that will always be his #1 synergy. Yet, Gwen is a not very good companion for Darius. By locking into the same team as Darius, she decreases their win rate by -2.3% to 46.9%. This clearly indicates that there is a bad bond between Darius and Gwen that results in them performing not as well together than alone.

Gwen has a greater difficulty than Darius. That means you must be careful when lining up Gwen teammates to go into battle on the same side as, as they will have to have a greater level of skill to be able to fight well with you.

Playing cooperatively, Darius players will likely see an overall large increase in your team’s capacity to dish out massive AD. When paired, these champions can provide a great amount of sustained physical damage.

Although, by grouping Darius and Gwen together, you will not be providing your team a lot of magical damage output. Make sure to pick other champions on your team that offsets this relative gap in their abilities.

Regardless of your Gwen ally's skill level, you need to focus on increasing your gold income, outlasting your enemies, and clearing objectives. If you follow these simple suggestions, you should do well, regardless.
