When Sona is an ally to Sylas, she sees a little drop in her full damage output. This may signal that Sylas does not help protection for her to deal more damage or that his support also helps extend the round's duration.

This is contrasting evidence that she is worse when playing alongside Sylas.
Moreover, when Sona plays with Sylas on the same team, she often receives a little less damage than when she plays alone. Receiving not as much damage could mean that Sylas does a decent job of protecting Sona during team fights.
