This difference could signal that Graves doesn't help protection for her to deal more damage or that his allyship also helps increase the game's duration. Similarly, when Syndra is played with Graves on the same team, he usually scores many fewer killing sprees compared to when she plays on his own. This is contrasting evidence that she is worse when playing alongside Graves.

Is Syndra better when played alongside Graves?

There is no universally accepted best champion pairing for Syndra that will 100% of the time be her best teammate. Yet, Graves is a very typical ally for Syndra. By locking into the same team as Syndra, he increases their win rate by 0.6% to 49.3%. This clearly indicates that there is not really a strong bond between Syndra and Graves that results in them performing better together than without each other.

Graves has a much lower diffuclty than Syndra. That means Syndra players don't need to be very careful when finding Graves comrades to go into battle on the same side as, as they will require a much lower level of skill to do well with you.

Fighting on the same side, Syndra players will likely observe an overall large increase in your team’s capacity to to do a lot of AP damage. Together, these champs can deal quite a lot of AP type damage.

In contrast, by aligning Syndra and Graves together, you may not be granting your other teammates a lot of protection for burst damage. We recommend you bring other champs on your team that fills this disparity in this pairing's playstyle.

Regardless of your Graves ally's ability, you should focus on increasing your gold income, outlasting your enemies, and taking down objectives. If you follow these simple suggestions, you should do well anyway.
