Is Ivern better when played alongside Malzahar?

There is no top synergy for Ivern that will no matter what be his #1 teammate. Yet, overall, Malzahar is a relatively poor ally for Ivern. By being on the same side as Ivern, he lowers their win rate by -1.8% to 49.0%. This signals that there is a negative bond between Ivern and Malzahar that allows them to perform worse together than alone.

Malzahar has a lower difficulty than Ivern. That means Ivern players don't need to be cautious when arranging Malzahar teammates to fight alongside, as they will have to have a lower level of skill to play well with you.

When playing on the same side, you should observe an overall large increase in your team’s capacity to deal magical damage. Together, these two can blast through enemies with magic damage.

In contrast, by grouping Ivern and Malzahar together, you probably will not be granting your other teammates a lot of attack damage. Plan to pick other champions on your team that offsets this disparity in their abilities.

Regardless of the ability of your Malzahar ally, you need to focus on increasing your income, warding to avoid ambushes, and taking down objectives. If you heed this simple advice, you should do well anyway.
