How to Play with Jax as Garen in LoL

The Garen Jax synergy stats shown here demonstrate the areas of his gameplay that do better (or worse) when paired with Jax, compared to his overall stats. Significant differences are areas of focus that highlight how his gameplay changes when paired with this other champion.

Overall, Garen sees a very large drop in his KDA (ratio of kills and assists to deaths) when paired with Jax. His KDA decreased from NaN to NaN. This drop shows that Jax helps Garen perform poorer in ranked League matches. Yet, the small difference shows that this performance change is only marginal.

When Garen plays on the same team as Jax, he gets a barely noticable drop in his full damage output. This may signal that Jax does not provide cover for him to dish out more damage or that his presence also helps increase the round's duration. Similarly, when Garen is played with Jax on the same team, he usually scores many fewer killing sprees than when he plays on his own. This is contrasting evidence that he is worse when playing synergisticly with Jax.

Additionally, when Garen plays with Jax on the same side, he often takes a little less damage than when he plays alone. Receiving not as much damage could mean that Jax does a decent job of protecting Garen in team fights.

Is Garen better when played alongside Jax?

There is no ideal ally for Garen that will 100% of the time be his top teammate. Yet, Jax is a very typical companion for Garen. By locking into the same team as Garen, he increases their win rate by 0.8% to 49.5%. This shows that there is only a small bond between Garen and Jax that allows them to perform stronger together than alone.

Jax has a lower difficulty than Garen. That means Garen players don't need to be cautious when lining up Jax teammates to play with, as they will have to have a relatively low level of skill to be able to play well with you.

Working cooperatively, Garen players should expect to observe an overall large increase in your team’s capacity to dish out massive AD. Combined, these champions can tear through the other team with a lot of physcial damage.

Conversely, by grouping Garen and Jax together, you probably will not be providing your other teammates very much crowd control. Make sure to include other champs on your team that neutralizes this relative hole in their capabilities.

Regardless of the ability of your Jax teammate, you need to focus on maximizing your gold income, staying alive by avoiding foolish fights, and taking down objectives. If you do this, you should do well anyway.
