The Ryze Ziggs synergy stats shown here demonstrate the areas of his gameplay that do better (or worse) when paired with Ziggs, compared to his overall stats. Significant differences are areas of focus that highlight how his gameplay changes when paired with this other champion.
Overall, Ryze sees a large worsening in his KDA (ratio of kills and assists to deaths) when paired with Ziggs. His KDA worsened from NaN to NaN. This negative change shows that Ziggs helps Ryze perform worse in competitive League rounds. Yet, the small difference shows that this performance change is not very impactful.
When Ryze is an ally to Ziggs, he gets a small decrease in his full damage dealt. This difference could signal that Ziggs does not help protection for him to deal more damage or that his presence on the team also helps increase the round's duration. Similarly, when Ryze is played together with Ziggs on the same side, he usually scores many fewer killing sprees than when he plays without Ziggs. This is contrasting evidence that he is worse when playing alongside Ziggs.
Additionally, when Ryze plays with Ziggs on the same team, he typically takes a little more damage than when he fights alone. Receiving more damage may indicate that Ziggs does a poor job of covering Ryze in team fights.
There is no ideal champion pairing for Ryze that will always be his top teammate. Yet, Ziggs is a very bad teammate for Ryze. By locking into the same side as Ryze, he drops their win rate by -6.0% to 43.0%. This clearly indicates that there is a very bad bond between Ryze and Ziggs that results in them performing worse together than alone.
Ziggs has a much lower diffuclty than Ryze. That means Ryze players don't need to be very careful when lining up Ziggs comrades to fight alongside, as they will have to have a much lower level of skill to cooperate well with you.
When playing on the same side, Ryze players should expect to see an overall large increase in your team’s capacity to deal magical damage. When paired, these two can deal quite a lot of AP type damage.
Conversely, by pairing Ryze and Ziggs together, you will not be granting your team very much AD. Plan to include other champions on your team that nullifies this relative gap in their kit.
Regardless of the ability of your Ziggs teammate, you should focus on maximizing your income, staying alive by avoiding foolish fights, and taking down objectives. If you do this, you should do well, regardless.
