Overall, Tryndamere sees a very large drop in his KDA (ratio of kills and assists to deaths) when paired with Sona. His KDA went down from NaN to NaN.

This change may indicate that Sona does not support by providing protection for him to dish out more damage or that her support also helps extend the match's duration.

This is contrasting evidence that he is worse when playing with Sona.
Additionally, when Tryndamere plays with Sona on the same side, he typically receives a little less damage than when he plays alone. Receiving not as much damage could mean that Sona does a decent job of covering Tryndamere during teamfights.
