Is Poppy better when played alongside Gnar?
There is no ideal synergy for Poppy that will no matter what be her top ally. However, Gnar is a very bad teammate for Poppy. By locking into the same team as Poppy, he lowers their win rate by -4.4% to 45.3%. This signals that there is a terrible bond between Poppy and Gnar that allows them to perform worse together than without each other.
Gnar has a greater difficulty than Poppy. That means you should be cautious when finding Gnar teammates to play with, as they will need a greater level of skill to cooperate well with you.
Playing alongside, Poppy players will likely see an overall large increase in your team’s capability to dish out massive AD. When paired, these champs should be able to take down targets with auto-attacks and other AD damage abilities.
Conversely, by bringing Poppy and Gnar together, you may not be giving your side a lot of AP. We recommend you include other champs on your team that nullifies this relative hole in this pairing's capabilities.
Regardless of the ability of your Gnar teammate, you should focus on maximizing your gold income, staying alive by avoiding foolish fights, and clearing objectives. If you do this, you should do well anyway.
