Overall, Alistar sees a very large drop in his KDA (ratio of kills and assists to deaths) when paired with Jax. His KDA fell from NaN to NaN. This worsening shows that Jax helps Alistar perform worse in ranked League of Legends rounds. Yet, the small difference proves that this performance change is only marginal.
When Alistar is paired with Jax, he observes a barely noticable drop in his full damage output. This may signal that Jax does not provide cover for him to deal more damage or that his support also helps extend the match's duration. Similarly, when Alistar is played together with Jax on the same team, he usually scores many fewer killing sprees than when he plays alone. This is contrasting evidence that he is worse when playing synergisticly with Jax.
Additionally, when Alistar plays with Jax on the same side, he typically receives a little less damage than when he fights alone. Receiving not as much damage could mean that Jax does a decent job of protecting Alistar in team fights.
There is no one best synergy for Alistar that will always be his #1 ally. Yet, Jax is a very typical companion for Alistar. By locking into the same team as Alistar, he improves their win rate by 0.3% to 49.7%.
