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

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

This change may demonstrate that Jax doesn't help protection for her to dish out more damage or that his support also helps extend the round's duration. Similarly, when Irelia is played with Jax on the same side, he usually scores many fewer killing sprees than when she plays without Jax. This is contrasting evidence that she is worse when playing alongside Jax.

Additionally, when Irelia plays with Jax on the same team, she typically takes a little less damage than when she plays alone. Receiving not as much damage could mean that Jax does a decent job of covering Irelia in teamfights.
