Is Ryze better when played alongside Darius?

This clearly indicates that there is a bad strategic relationship between Ryze and Darius that allows them to perform not as well together than alone.

Darius has a much lower diffuclty than Ryze. That means you don't need to be very careful when lining up Darius comrades to go into battle on the same side as, as they will have to have a much lower level of skill to be able to work well with you.

Playing on the same side, you will likely observe an overall large increase in your team’s capability to deal physical damage. When paired, these champions should be able to take down targets with auto-attacks and other AD damage abilities.
