Overall, Rell sees a very large drop in her KDA (ratio of kills and assists to deaths) when paired with Malzahar. His KDA decreased from NaN to NaN.

This change could demonstrate that Malzahar provides protection for her to dish out more damage or that his presence also helps extend the match's duration. Similarly, when Rell is played alongside Malzahar on the same team, he usually scores many fewer killing sprees than when she plays without Malzahar. This is contrasting evidence that she is worse when playing alongside Malzahar.

Moreover, when Rell plays with Malzahar on the same side, she often takes a little more damage than when she plays alone. Getting dealt more damage could mean that Malzahar does a poor job of protecting Rell in team fights.

Is Rell better when played alongside Malzahar?

There is no top companion for Rell that will 100% of the time be her best synergy. However, Malzahar is a very typical ally for Rell. By locking into the same side as Rell, he drops their win rate by -0.4% to 48.9%. This clearly indicates that there is a weak bond between Rell and Malzahar that results in them performing worse together than without each other.

Malzahar has a much greater difficulty compared to Rell. That means you must be careful when finding Malzahar teammates to go into battle on the same side as, as they will require a much greater level of skill to be able to play well with you.

Fighting on the same side, Rell players should expect to see an overall large increase in your team’s capability to provide a lot of utility for your team. Together, these champs will help their other teammates secure a victory.

Although, by grouping Rell and Malzahar together, you probably will not be giving your side much anti-tank damage dealing potential. Make sure to include other champs on your team that nullifies this gap in their capabilities.

Regardless of the skill of your Malzahar ally, you should focus on increasing your gold income, staying alive by avoiding foolish fights, and clearing objectives. If you follow these simple suggestions, you should do well anyway.
