Overall, Nocturne sees a very large drop in his KDA (ratio of kills and assists to deaths) when paired with Ryze. His KDA went down from NaN to NaN. This decrease shows that Ryze helps Nocturne perform not as well in ranked League of Legends rounds. Yet, the small difference indicates that this performance change is not very impactful.
When Nocturne is paired with Ryze, he observes a marginal improvement in his total damage dealt. This may demonstrate that Ryze provides cover for him to deal more damage or that his participation also helps increase the match's duration.

This is contrasting evidence that he is worse when playing alongside Ryze.
Additionally, when Nocturne plays with Ryze on the same team, he typically receives a little more damage than when he fights alone. Receiving more damage may mean that Ryze does a poor job of covering Nocturne during teamfights.
