The Ekko Ryze synergy stats shown here demonstrate the areas of his gameplay that do better (or worse) when paired with Ryze, compared to his overall stats. Significant differences are areas of focus that highlight how his gameplay changes when paired with this other champion.
Overall, Ekko sees a large worsening in his KDA (ratio of kills and assists to deaths) when paired with Ryze. His KDA worsened from NaN to NaN. This negative change shows that Ryze helps Ekko perform worse in competitive League of Legends games. Yet, the small difference shows that this performance change is not very impactful.
When Ekko is paired with Ryze, he gets a barely noticable drop in his total damage output. This change could signal that Ryze doesn't help protection for him to deal more damage or that his support also helps increase the game's duration. Similarly, when Ekko is played with Ryze on the same side, he usually scores many fewer killing sprees than when he plays alone. This is contrasting evidence that he is worse when playing with Ryze.
Moreover, when Ekko plays with Ryze on the same team, he typically takes more damage than when he fights alone. Getting dealt more damage could mean that Ryze does a poor job of protecting Ekko in team fights.
There is no ideal champion pairing for Ekko that will always be his #1 synergy. Yet, Ryze is a very typical companion for Ekko. By locking into the same side as Ekko, he lowers their win rate by -0.8% to 50.2%. This signals that there is not really a strong strategic relationship between Ekko and Ryze that allows them to perform worse together than without each other.
Ryze has a lower difficulty than Ekko. That means Ekko players don't need to be very careful when lining up Ryze allies to go into battle on the same side as, as they will have to have a relatively low level of skill to be able to work well with you.
Working cooperatively, you should see an overall large increase in your team’s capacity to deal magic damage. Combined, these champions can blast through enemies with magic damage.
Although, by bringing Ekko and Ryze together, you probably will not be providing your other allies much engage potential. Make sure to include other champs on your team that offsets this gap in this pairing's abilities.
Regardless of your Ryze ally's ability, you need to focus on increasing your income, outlasting your enemies, and taking down objectives. If you heed this simple advice, you will do well, regardless.
