Fighting on the same side, you should expect to see an overall large increase in your team’s capability to dish out massive AD. Combined, these champions can tear through the other team with a lot of physcial damage.
Conversely, by aligning Samira and Bard together, you will not be providing your other allies much magic damage. We recommend you bring other champions on your team that fills this disparity in their potential.
Regardless of your Bard ally's skill level, you need to focus on maximizing your income, warding to avoid ambushes, and clearing objectives. If you heed this simple advice, you should do well anyway.
