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

When Jax is an ally to Varus, he gets a little decrease in his full damage dealt. This difference could indicate that Varus does not provide cover for him to dish out more damage or that his support also helps extend the match's duration. Similarly, when Jax is played together with Varus on the same side, he usually scores many fewer killing sprees than when he plays alone. This is contrasting evidence that he is worse when playing with Varus.
Additionally, when Jax plays with Varus on the same team, he on average receives a little more damage than when he fights alone. Getting dealt more damage could mean that Varus does a poor job of covering Jax during team fights.

By locking into the same team as Jax, he drops their win rate by -1.8% to 49.0%. This demonstrates that there is a harmful bond between Jax and Varus that allows them to perform worse together than without each other.
Varus has a much lower diffuclty than Jax. That means you don't need to be cautious when finding Varus comrades to go into battle on the same side as, as they will require a much lower level of skill to play well with you.
Working together, Jax players should observe an overall large increase in your team’s capacity to dish out massive AD. Combined, these two can tear through the other team with a lot of physcial damage.
Although, by bringing Jax and Varus together, you may not be granting your team a lot of engage. We recommend you pick other champions on your team that neutralizes this relative disparity in their playstyle.
Regardless of the ability of your Varus ally, you should focus on increasing your income, staying alive by avoiding foolish fights, and clearing objectives. If you do this, you will do well anyway.
