Overall, Neeko sees a very large drop in her KDA (ratio of kills and assists to deaths) when paired with Riven. His KDA went down from NaN to NaN.

This change could signal that Riven provides cover for her to dish out more damage or that her support also helps increase the game's duration.

This is contrasting evidence that she is worse when playing synergisticly with Riven.
Moreover, when Neeko plays with Riven on the same team, she often takes a little less damage than when she fights alone. Receiving not as much damage could indicate that Riven does a decent job of protecting Neeko during team fights.

There is no perfect companion for Neeko that will no matter what be her ideal teammate. Yet, Riven is a very typical ally for Neeko.

Riven has a greater difficulty than Neeko. That means Neeko players must be very careful when lining up Riven allies to go into battle on the same side as, as they will have to have a greater level of skill to work well with you.
When playing cooperatively, you should see an overall large increase in your team’s ability to deal magical damage. When paired, these champs can blast through enemies with magic damage.
In contrast, by bringing Neeko and Riven together, you probably will not be granting your team a lot of protection for burst damage. We recommend you pick other champions on your team that neutralizes this relative gap in their potential.
Regardless of your Riven ally's ability, you should focus on increasing your income, outlasting your enemies, and taking down objectives. If you do this, you should do well anyway.
