Is Katarina better when played alongside Syndra?

There is no top ally for Katarina that will no matter what be her #1 teammate. However, Syndra is a very bad companion for Katarina. By playing on the same team as Katarina, she drops their win rate by -3.1% to 45.7%. This shows that there is an easy to overcome and exploit bond between Katarina and Syndra that results in them performing worse together than without each other.

Syndra has a lower difficulty than Katarina. That means you don't need to be very careful when lining up Syndra teammates to fight alongside, as they will have to have a lower level of skill to do well with you.

Playing cooperatively, you will likely witness an overall large increase in your team’s capability to deal magic damage. Together, these champs can deal quite a lot of AP type damage.

Although, by grouping Katarina and Syndra together, you probably will not be providing your other allies a great deal of sustained damage output. Make sure to bring other champs on your team that helps cover this relative gap in their abilities.

Regardless of your Syndra ally's ability, you need to focus on maximizing your gold income, staying alive by avoiding foolish fights, and clearing objectives. If you do this, you should do well anyway.
