Is Leona better when played alongside Taliyah?

There is no universally accepted best champion pairing for Leona that will no matter what be her best synergy. Yet, Taliyah is a very typical teammate for Leona. By locking into the same team as Leona, she decreases their win rate by -0.4% to 51.8%. This clearly indicates that there is a weak synergy between Leona and Taliyah that allows them to perform worse together than without each other.

Taliyah has a greater difficulty than Leona. That means Leona players should be very careful when enlisting Taliyah allies to go into battle on the same side as, as they will require a greater level of skill to do well with you.

Playing on the same side, you should expect to see an overall large increase in your team’s capacity to provide a lot of utility for your team. Combined, these two may be able to carry with the power of their abilities.

In contrast, by aligning Leona and Taliyah together, you probably will not be giving your other allies a lot of attack damage. Make sure to bring other champs on your team that offsets this gap in their potential.

Regardless of your Taliyah ally's skill level, you should focus on maximizing your income, warding to avoid ambushes, and taking down objectives. If you follow these simple suggestions, you will do well anyway.
