Overall, Gnar sees a very large drop in his KDA (ratio of kills and assists to deaths) when paired with Qiyana. His KDA went down from NaN to NaN. This fall shows that Qiyana helps Gnar perform not as well in competitive League of Legends matches. Yet, the small difference indicates that this performance change is not very impactful.
When Gnar tries to synergize with Qiyana, he gets a barely noticable drop in his complete damage dealt. This may demonstrate that Qiyana does not help protection for him to dish out more damage or that her participation also helps increase the match's duration. Similarly, when Gnar is played alongside Qiyana 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 with Qiyana.
Additionally, when Gnar plays with Qiyana on the same side, he often receives a little more damage than when he fights alone. Taking more damage could mean that Qiyana does a poor job of protecting Gnar in team fights.

By locking into the same team as Gnar, she lowers their win rate by -0.3% to 47.7%.
