Is Gnar better when played alongside Orianna?

There is no top ally for Gnar that will 100% of the time be his #1 teammate. However, overall, Orianna is a terrible companion for Gnar. By playing on the same side as Gnar, she drops their win rate by -3.6% to 44.4%. This clearly indicates that there is an easy to overcome and exploit bond between Gnar and Orianna that results in them performing not as well together than without each other.

Orianna has a lower difficulty than Gnar. That means you don't need to be careful when finding Orianna comrades to go into battle on the same side as, as they will need a relatively low level of skill to be able to fight well with you.

Working cooperatively, Gnar players should expect to see an overall large increase in your team’s ability to deal magic damage. When paired, these champs can deal quite a lot of AP type damage.

Although, by aligning Gnar and Orianna together, you may not be giving your side a great deal of protection for burst damage. We recommend you include other champs on your team that fills this relative hole in their abilities.

Regardless of your Orianna ally's ability, you should focus on maximizing your gold income, outlasting your enemies, and clearing objectives. If you heed this simple advice, you should do well anyway.
