Is Garen better when played alongside Amumu?

There is no one best champion pairing for Garen that will 100% of the time be his ideal synergy. However, Amumu is a very typical companion for Garen. By locking into the same team as Garen, he decreases their win rate by -0.9% to 47.8%. This signals that there is not really a strong synergy between Garen and Amumu that allows them to perform not as well together than without each other.

Amumu has a lower difficulty than Garen. That means you don't need to be cautious when enlisting Amumu comrades to fight alongside, as they will require a relatively low level of skill to play well with you.

Working alongside, Garen players should witness an overall large increase in your team’s capability to tank a lot of damage. Combined, these champs will be able to tank for the rest of their team.

Although, by pairing Garen and Amumu together, you may not be providing your other teammates much sustained damage output. Plan to bring other champions on your team that helps cover this disparity in this pairing's potential.

Regardless of your Amumu ally's skill level, you should focus on maximizing your gold income, warding to avoid ambushes, and taking down objectives. If you do this, you should do well anyway.
