Lux Rek'Sai Synergy Stats
How to Play with Rek'Sai as Lux in LoL
The Lux 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, Lux sees a very large drop in her KDA (ratio of kills and assists to deaths) when paired with Rek'Sai. His KDA decreased from NaN to NaN. This negative change shows that Rek'Sai helps Lux perform worse in competitive League rounds. Yet, the small difference proves that this performance change is only marginal.
When Lux plays on the same team as Rek'Sai, she gets a small increase in her full damage dealt. This difference could demonstrate that Rek'Sai provides protection for her to deal more damage or that his participation also helps increase the game's duration. Similarly, when Lux is played with Rek'Sai 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 Rek'Sai.
Additionally, when Lux plays with Rek'Sai on the same side, she usually receives a little less damage than when she plays alone. Taking not as much damage could mean that Rek'Sai does a decent job of protecting Lux during teamfights.

Is Lux better when played alongside Rek'Sai?
There is no universally accepted best companion for Lux that will always be her #1 teammate. However, Rek'Sai is a relatively poor teammate for Lux. By locking into the same side as Lux, he decreases their win rate by -1.7% to 48.1%. This demonstrates that there is a harmful bond between Lux and Rek'Sai that results in them performing worse together than alone.
Rek'Sai has a lower difficulty than Lux. That means Lux players don't need to be very careful when arranging Rek'Sai allies to play with, as they will need a relatively low level of skill to cooperate well with you.
Playing cooperatively, Lux players should see an overall large increase in your team’s ability to deal magic damage. Combined, these champs can deal quite a lot of AP type damage.
Although, by aligning Lux and Rek'Sai together, you may not be providing your side very much engage. Plan to pick other champions on your team that nullifies this hole in their playstyle.
Regardless of the ability of your Rek'Sai ally, you need to focus on maximizing your gold income, outlasting your enemies, and clearing objectives. If you do this, you will do well anyway.
