Is Warwick better when played alongside Garen?

There is no universally accepted best companion for Warwick that will always be his ideal ally. However, Garen is a terrible teammate for Warwick. By being on the same team as Warwick, he drops their win rate by -3.6% to 45.7%. This shows that there is a very bad bond between Warwick and Garen that allows them to perform worse together than without each other.

Garen has a greater difficulty than Warwick. That means you need to be cautious when lining up Garen comrades to play with, as they will have to have a greater level of skill to be able to do well with you.

Working cooperatively, you will likely observe an overall large increase in your team’s capability to deal physical damage. When paired, these champions can tear through the other team with a lot of physcial damage.

Although, by grouping Warwick and Garen together, you probably will not be granting your other teammates very much magic damage. We recommend you have other champs on your team that neutralizes this relative gap in their potential.

Regardless of your Garen ally's ability, you should focus on increasing your income, staying alive by avoiding foolish fights, and clearing objectives. If you heed this simple advice, you will do well, regardless.
