Overall, Sona 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 decrease shows that Rek'Sai helps Sona perform worse in ranked LoL rounds. Yet, the small difference demonstrates that this performance change is only marginal.
When Sona is an ally to Rek'Sai, she gets a small decrease in her full damage output. This difference could demonstrate that Rek'Sai does not help protection for her to deal more damage or that his presence on the team also helps extend the round's duration. Similarly, when Sona is played alongside Rek'Sai on the same team, he usually scores many fewer killing sprees than when she plays alone. This is contrasting evidence that she is worse when playing synergisticly with Rek'Sai.
Additionally, when Sona plays with Rek'Sai on the same team, she often receives less damage than when she plays alone. Receiving not as much damage may mean that Rek'Sai does a decent job of covering Sona during teamfights.

Is Sona better when played alongside Rek'Sai?
There is no one best companion for Sona that will always be her top ally. Yet, Rek'Sai is a not very good teammate for Sona. By being on the same side as Sona, he drops their win rate by -2.1% to 48.3%. This signals that there is a negative strategic relationship between Sona and Rek'Sai that results in them performing not as well together than alone.
Rek'Sai has a lower difficulty than Sona. That means you don't need to be careful when finding Rek'Sai comrades to play with, as they will have to have a relatively low level of skill to work well with you.
Working together, you will likely observe an overall large increase in your team’s ability to provide utility and CC for your side. Combined, these champions will help their other teammates secure a victory.
Although, by grouping Sona and Rek'Sai together, you probably will not be giving your other allies much protection for burst damage. We recommend you have other champs on your team that helps cover this relative hole in their playstyle.
Regardless of your Rek'Sai ally's ability, you need to focus on maximizing your gold income, staying alive by avoiding foolish fights, and clearing objectives. If you do this, you will do well anyway.
