Overall, Garen sees a large worsening in his KDA (ratio of kills and assists to deaths) when paired with Vex. His KDA decreased from NaN to NaN.

When Garen is an ally to Vex, he gets a little drop in his total damage output. This could indicate that Vex does not support by providing protection for him to deal more damage or that their support also helps extend the round's duration. Similarly, when Garen is played together with Vex on the same team, he usually scores many fewer killing sprees compared to when he plays on his own. This is contrasting evidence that he is worse when playing alongside Vex.
Moreover, when Garen plays with Vex on the same side, he often takes a little less damage than when he fights alone. Getting dealt not as much damage may indicate that Vex does a decent job of protecting Garen in team fights.
