Overall, Leona sees a very large drop in her KDA (ratio of kills and assists to deaths) when paired with Annie. His KDA went down from NaN to NaN.

This change may indicate that Annie provides protection for her to deal more damage or that her support also helps extend the match's duration. Similarly, when Leona is played alongside Annie on the same team, he usually scores many fewer killing sprees compared to when she plays without Annie. This is contrasting evidence that she is worse when playing with Annie.
Additionally, when Leona plays with Annie on the same side, she typically takes a little less damage than when she plays alone. Taking not as much damage may mean that Annie does a decent job of covering Leona during teamfights.

There is no perfect companion for Leona that will no matter what be her ideal teammate. However, Annie is a very typical teammate for Leona. By playing on the same team as Leona, she raises their win rate by 0.3% to 52.5%. This demonstrates that there is a weak bond between Leona and Annie that allows them to perform at the top of their game together than without each other.
Annie has a greater difficulty than Leona. That means you need to be careful when enlisting Annie comrades to go into battle on the same side as, as they will have to have a greater level of skill to do well with you.
When playing cooperatively, you should see an overall large increase in your team’s ability to provide utility and CC for your side. When paired, these two may be able to carry with the power of their abilities.
Conversely, by pairing Leona and Annie together, you will not be providing your team very much AD. We recommend you bring other champs on your team that offsets this relative hole in their capabilities.
Regardless of the skill of your Annie ally, you need to focus on maximizing your gold income, staying alive by avoiding foolish fights, and clearing objectives. If you do this, you should do well, regardless.
