This is contrasting evidence that she is worse when playing synergisticly with Garen.

Garen has a greater difficulty than Vi. That means Vi players should be careful when lining up Garen comrades to fight alongside, as they will require a greater level of skill to be able to do well with you.
Playing cooperatively, Vi players should expect to witness an overall large increase in your team’s ability to dish out massive AD. Together, these two can provide a great amount of sustained physical damage.

Regardless of your Garen ally's skill level, you should focus on increasing your gold income, staying alive by avoiding foolish fights, and clearing objectives. If you heed this simple advice, you should do well anyway.
