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

This may indicate that Poppy provides protection for her to deal more damage or that her presence on the team also helps extend the round's duration. Similarly, when Leona is played alongside Poppy on the same team, he usually scores many fewer killing sprees than when she plays on his own. This is contrasting evidence that she is worse when playing synergisticly with Poppy.
