This proves that there is a very bad synergy between Aphelios and Rek'Sai that results in them performing not as well together than alone.

Fighting cooperatively, you should witness an overall large increase in your team’s capability to destroy wih physical damage. When paired, these champs can tear through the other team with a lot of physcial damage.

In contrast, by bringing Aphelios and Rek'Sai together, you will not be granting your team a lot of magical damage output. We recommend you pick other champs on your team that neutralizes this relative gap in this pairing's abilities.

Regardless of the skill of your Rek'Sai teammate, you need to focus on maximizing your gold income, outlasting your enemies, and clearing objectives. If you do this, you will do well, regardless.
