Is Jax better when played alongside Gnar?
There is no universally accepted best champion pairing for Jax that will always be his top teammate. However, Gnar is a not very good ally for Jax. By locking into the same side as Jax, he drops their win rate by -2.3% to 48.5%. This signals that there is a harmful strategic relationship between Jax and Gnar that allows them to perform worse together than without each other.
Gnar has a greater difficulty than Jax. That means you must be very careful when lining up Gnar comrades to play with, as they will have to have a greater level of skill to do well with you.
When playing on the same side, Jax players should observe an overall large increase in your team’s ability to deal physical damage. Together, these champions can tear through the other team with a lot of physcial damage.
Conversely, by aligning Jax and Gnar together, you may not be providing your team enough utility. We recommend you have other champs on your team that offsets this relative disparity in their abilities.
Regardless of your Gnar ally's skill level, you need to focus on increasing your gold income, outlasting your enemies, and clearing objectives. If you do this, you will do well, regardless.
