This is contrasting evidence that he is worse when playing synergisticly with Akali.

Is Ryze better when played alongside Akali?

By being on the same side as Ryze, she lowers their win rate by -0.8% to 48.2%. This proves that there is a weak strategic relationship between Ryze and Akali that allows them to perform not as well together than alone.

Akali has a lower difficulty than Ryze. That means you don't need to be cautious when finding Akali teammates to play with, as they will need a lower level of skill to fight well with you.

When playing cooperatively, Ryze players will likely see an overall large increase in your team’s capability to deal magic damage. Combined, these two can deal quite a lot of AP type damage.
