How to Play with Jayce as Gnar in LoL

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

Overall, Gnar sees a very large drop in his KDA (ratio of kills and assists to deaths) when paired with Jayce. His KDA fell from NaN to NaN. This worsening shows that Jayce helps Gnar perform worse in ranked League of Legends games. Yet, the small difference proves that this performance change is only marginal.

When Gnar tries to synergize with Jayce, he sees a small decrease in his total damage output. This could demonstrate that Jayce does not help cover for him to dish out more damage or that his participation also helps increase the round's duration. Similarly, when Gnar is played together with Jayce 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 with Jayce.

Moreover, when Gnar plays with Jayce on the same side, he often receives a little less damage than when he plays alone. Taking not as much damage could mean that Jayce does a decent job of protecting Gnar during teamfights.

Is Gnar better when played alongside Jayce?

There is no universally accepted best synergy for Gnar that will 100% of the time be his #1 teammate. Yet, Jayce is a terrible companion for Gnar. By locking into the same team as Gnar, he decreases their win rate by -3.5% to 44.5%. This proves that there is a very bad bond between Gnar and Jayce that allows them to perform not as well together than without each other.

Jayce has a lower difficulty than Gnar. That means you don't need to be very careful when lining up Jayce comrades to play with, as they will need a lower level of skill to be able to work well with you.

When playing on the same side, you will likely witness an overall large increase in your team’s capacity to dish out massive AD. Together, these two should be able to take down targets with auto-attacks and other AD damage abilities.

Although, by bringing Gnar and Jayce together, you will not be giving your other allies enough crowd control. We recommend you pick other champs on your team that offsets this relative hole in this pairing's kit.

Regardless of your Jayce ally's ability, you should focus on maximizing your income, warding to avoid ambushes, and clearing objectives. If you follow these simple suggestions, you will do well anyway.
