By locking into the same side as Garen, she increases their win rate by 0.6% to 49.3%. This demonstrates that there is a weak synergy between Garen and Janna that allows them to perform better together than alone.

Janna has a greater difficulty than Garen. That means you need to be cautious when lining up Janna allies to fight alongside, as they will need a greater level of skill to fight well with you.
