Overall, Garen sees a very large drop in his KDA (ratio of kills and assists to deaths) when paired with Samira. His KDA decreased from NaN to NaN. This drop shows that Samira helps Garen perform worse in competitive League of Legends rounds. Yet, the small difference proves that this performance change is not very impactful.

When Garen is an ally to Samira, he gets a barely noticable drop in his total damage output. This may signal that Samira does not support by providing protection for him to dish out more damage or that her presence on the team also helps increase the round's duration. Similarly, when Garen is played with Samira on the same side, 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 Samira.

Is Garen better when played alongside Samira?

There is no perfect synergy for Garen that will 100% of the time be his ideal ally. Yet, overall, Samira is a relatively poor teammate for Garen. By locking into the same team as Garen, she drops their win rate by -2.4% to 46.3%. This signals that there is a harmful bond between Garen and Samira that allows them to perform not as well together than without each other.

Samira has a greater difficulty than Garen. That means Garen players must be cautious when arranging Samira comrades to play with, as they will have to have a greater level of skill to be able to play well with you.

Playing on the same side, Garen players should expect to witness an overall large increase in your team’s ability to dish out massive AD. Combined, these champions should be able to take down targets with auto-attacks and other AD damage abilities.

Although, by aligning Garen and Samira together, you will not be giving your other allies a lot of AP. We recommend you pick other champs on your team that nullifies this gap in this pairing's playstyle.

Regardless of the skill of your Samira ally, you should focus on increasing your income, outlasting your enemies, and taking down objectives. If you do this, you will do well, regardless.
