Overall, Aatrox sees a very large drop in his KDA (ratio of kills and assists to deaths) when paired with Gnar. His KDA worsened from NaN to NaN.

When Aatrox plays on the same team as Gnar, he observes a moderate decrease in his total damage dealt. This change may demonstrate that Gnar doesn't help cover for him to dish out more damage or that his participation also helps extend the match's duration.

This is contrasting evidence that he is worse when playing alongside Gnar.
Moreover, when Aatrox plays with Gnar on the same side, he typically takes a little more damage than when he plays alone. Receiving more damage could indicate that Gnar does a poor job of covering Aatrox in team fights.
