How to Play with Gnar as Leona in LoL

The Leona Gnar synergy stats shown here demonstrate the areas of her gameplay that do better (or worse) when paired with Gnar, compared to her overall stats. Significant differences are areas of focus that highlight how her gameplay changes when paired with this other champion.

Overall, Leona sees a very large drop in her KDA (ratio of kills and assists to deaths) when paired with Gnar. His KDA went down from NaN to NaN. This decrease shows that Gnar helps Leona perform not as well in competitive League of Legends games. Yet, the small difference proves that this performance change is not very impactful.

When Leona tries to synergize with Gnar, she observes a barely noticable drop in her complete damage output. This change may signal that Gnar does not support by providing cover for her to dish out more damage or that his allyship also helps extend the match's duration. Similarly, when Leona is played with Gnar on the same team, he usually scores many fewer killing sprees than when she plays on his own. This is contrasting evidence that she is worse when playing alongside Gnar.

Additionally, when Leona plays with Gnar on the same team, she usually receives a little more damage than when she fights alone. Getting dealt more damage could mean that Gnar does a poor job of protecting Leona during team fights.

Is Leona better when played alongside Gnar?

There is no one best companion for Leona that will always be her #1 synergy. However, Gnar is a not very good teammate for Leona. By locking into the same team as Leona, he drops their win rate by -2.0% to 50.2%. This signals that there is a harmful synergy between Leona and Gnar that allows them to perform not as well together than without each other.

Gnar has a much greater difficulty compared to Leona. That means you should be careful when lining up Gnar allies to play with, as they will have to have a much higher level of skill to play well with you.

Fighting alongside, you should see an overall large increase in your team’s ability to provide utility and CC for your side. When paired, these champions should be able to manipulate the pace of team fights.

Although, by grouping Leona and Gnar together, you will not be giving your side a great deal of magic damage. Make sure to pick other champs on your team that neutralizes this disparity in their playstyle.

Regardless of the ability of your Gnar ally, you should focus on maximizing your income, outlasting your enemies, and clearing objectives. If you follow these simple suggestions, you should do well anyway.
