Overall, Lux sees a very large drop in her KDA (ratio of kills and assists to deaths) when paired with Garen. His KDA decreased from NaN to NaN.

This difference could demonstrate that Garen provides cover for her to deal more damage or that his participation also helps increase the match's duration. Similarly, when Lux is played together with Garen on the same side, he usually scores many fewer killing sprees than when she plays alone. This is contrasting evidence that she is worse when playing with Garen.
Additionally, when Lux plays with Garen on the same team, she on average takes a little less damage than when she fights alone. Receiving not as much damage may mean that Garen does a decent job of covering Lux in teamfights.
