This could demonstrate that Brand does not support by providing cover for him to deal more damage or that his presence on the team also helps extend the round's duration. Similarly, when Ryze is played with Brand on the same team, he usually scores many fewer killing sprees than when he plays on his own. This is contrasting evidence that he is worse when playing alongside Brand.
Additionally, when Ryze plays with Brand on the same team, he usually takes a little more damage than when he fights alone. Getting dealt more damage may mean that Brand does a poor job of protecting Ryze in teamfights.
