Is Jax better when played alongside Illaoi?

There is no one best synergy for Jax that will always be his #1 ally. However, Illaoi is a good ally for Jax. By being on the same side as Jax, she raises their win rate by 1.1% to 51.9%. This shows that there is a good bond between Jax and Illaoi that allows them to perform better together than alone.

Illaoi has a lower difficulty than Jax. That means Jax players don't need to be very careful when finding Illaoi allies to fight alongside, as they will have to have a relatively low level of skill to be able to fight well with you.
