Similarly, when Gnar is played together with Rek'Sai on the same side, 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 Rek'Sai.
Additionally, when Gnar plays with Rek'Sai on the same team, he typically receives a little less damage than when he fights alone. Taking not as much damage could indicate that Rek'Sai does a decent job of covering Gnar during team fights.
