How to Play with Rek'Sai as Leona in LoL

The Leona Rek'Sai synergy stats shown here demonstrate the areas of her gameplay that do better (or worse) when paired with Rek'Sai, compared to her overall stats. Significant differences are areas of focus that highlight how her gameplay changes when paired with this other champion.

Overall, Leona sees a very large drop in her KDA (ratio of kills and assists to deaths) when paired with Rek'Sai. His KDA worsened from NaN to NaN. This fall shows that Rek'Sai helps Leona perform not as well in ranked League games. Yet, the small difference shows that this performance change is only marginal.

When Leona is an ally to Rek'Sai, she observes a little increase in her full damage dealt. This change could indicate that Rek'Sai supports by providing protection for her to dish out more damage or that his participation also helps extend the match's duration. Similarly, when Leona is played alongside Rek'Sai on the same team, he usually scores many fewer killing sprees than when she plays without Rek'Sai. This is contrasting evidence that she is worse when playing alongside Rek'Sai.

Additionally, when Leona plays with Rek'Sai on the same team, she often takes a little more damage than when she fights alone. Taking more damage could mean that Rek'Sai does a poor job of covering Leona in teamfights.
