Shooting Plasma Fission diagonally and splitting at maximum range allows you to hit opponents that are out of the range of the initial missile, but is more challenging to pull off.
When laning, use Void Rift to kill minions while building stacks of Organic Deconstruction on your opponent. You can then follow up with your other abilities.

This is contrasting evidence that he is worse when playing alongside Leona.

Playing alongside, you will likely witness an overall large increase in your team’s capability to support your allies. Combined, these two may be able to carry with the power of their abilities.
Although, by pairing Vel'Koz and Leona together, you will not be providing your other allies enough sustained damage output. We recommend you bring other champs on your team that fills this relative gap in their potential.
Regardless of your Leona ally's ability, you should focus on increasing your gold income, outlasting your enemies, and clearing objectives. If you heed this simple advice, you should do well anyway.
