Overall, Nautilus sees a very large drop in his KDA (ratio of kills and assists to deaths) when paired with Gnar. His KDA fell from NaN to NaN.

This could demonstrate that Gnar does not support by providing cover for him to dish out more damage or that his allyship also helps increase the game's duration. Similarly, when Nautilus is played with Gnar on the same team, he usually scores many fewer killing sprees than when he plays on his own. This is contrasting evidence that he is worse when playing alongside Gnar.

Is Nautilus better when played alongside Gnar?

There is no top ally for Nautilus that will no matter what be his ideal synergy. Yet, Gnar is a not very good ally for Nautilus. By being on the same side as Nautilus, he decreases their win rate by -1.3% to 47.5%. This demonstrates that there is a bad synergy between Nautilus and Gnar that results in them performing worse together than alone.

Gnar has a greater difficulty than Nautilus. That means you need to be careful when enlisting Gnar allies to go into battle on the same side as, as they will need a greater level of skill to be able to do well with you.

Working together, you should expect to see an overall large increase in your team’s capacity to deal magic damage. Combined, these two can deal quite a lot of AP type damage.

Although, by bringing Nautilus and Gnar together, you probably will not be providing your other teammates much sustained damage output. We recommend you bring other champions on your team that neutralizes this disparity in their playstyle.

Regardless of your Gnar ally's skill level, you need to focus on increasing your income, staying alive by avoiding foolish fights, and taking down objectives. If you follow these simple suggestions, you should do well anyway.
