This is contrasting evidence that he is worse when playing synergisticly with Garen.

Is Lucian better when played alongside Garen?

There is no top champion pairing for Lucian that will 100% of the time be his best ally. Yet, overall, Garen is a relatively poor companion for Lucian. By being on the same team as Lucian, he decreases their win rate by -1.6% to 47.2%. This signals that there is a harmful synergy between Lucian and Garen that allows them to perform not as well together than without each other.

Garen has a lower difficulty than Lucian. That means you don't need to be careful when arranging Garen teammates to go into battle on the same side as, as they will have to have a lower level of skill to cooperate well with you.

Playing cooperatively, Lucian players should expect to see an overall large increase in your team’s capacity to deal physical damage. Together, these champs can tear through the other team with a lot of physcial damage.

Although, by aligning Lucian and Garen together, you may not be granting your other allies a great deal of magical damage output. Plan to include other champions on your team that nullifies this relative hole in their playstyle.

Regardless of the ability of your Garen ally, you should focus on maximizing your income, staying alive by avoiding foolish fights, and taking down objectives. If you follow these simple suggestions, you should do well, regardless.
