The Katarina Udyr synergy stats shown here demonstrate the areas of her gameplay that do better (or worse) when paired with Udyr, compared to her overall stats. Significant differences are areas of focus that highlight how her gameplay changes when paired with this other champion.
Overall, Katarina sees a very large drop in her KDA (ratio of kills and assists to deaths) when paired with Udyr. His KDA worsened from NaN to NaN. This drop shows that Udyr helps Katarina perform poorer in ranked LoL rounds. Yet, the small difference demonstrates that this performance change is only marginal.
When Katarina tries to synergize with Udyr, she observes a barely noticable drop in her complete damage dealt. This change could signal that Udyr does not help protection for her to deal more damage or that his presence on the team also helps increase the round's duration. Similarly, when Katarina is played with Udyr on the same side, he usually scores many fewer killing sprees compared to when she plays alone. This is contrasting evidence that she is worse when playing synergisticly with Udyr.
Moreover, when Katarina plays with Udyr on the same team, she often receives a little less damage than when she plays alone. Getting dealt not as much damage may mean that Udyr does a decent job of protecting Katarina during teamfights.
