This is contrasting evidence that she is worse when playing alongside Rek'Sai.

Working alongside, Irelia players should see an overall large increase in your team’s ability to dish out massive AD. When paired, these champions can tear through the other team with a lot of physcial damage.

Although, by grouping Irelia and Rek'Sai together, you will not be giving your team enough AP. We recommend you bring other champions on your team that neutralizes this relative hole in this pairing's abilities.

Regardless of your Rek'Sai ally's skill level, you need to focus on increasing your gold income, warding to avoid ambushes, and taking down objectives. If you follow these simple suggestions, you will do well anyway.
