This is contrasting evidence that she is worse when playing alongside Rek'Sai.

Is Akali better when played alongside Rek'Sai?

There is no one best ally for Akali that will no matter what be her ideal teammate. Yet, overall, Rek'Sai is a relatively poor companion for Akali. By locking into the same team as Akali, he lowers their win rate by -3.0% to 46.1%. This signals that there is a bad bond between Akali and Rek'Sai that allows them to perform worse together than without each other.

Rek'Sai has a much lower diffuclty than Akali. That means you don't need to be careful when finding Rek'Sai comrades to go into battle on the same side as, as they will need a much lower level of skill to be able to play well with you.

Working cooperatively, you should expect to see an overall large increase in your team’s ability to dish out massive AD. Together, these champs can provide a great amount of sustained physical damage.

In contrast, by aligning Akali and Rek'Sai together, you will not be granting your side a lot of utility. Make sure to bring other champs on your team that neutralizes this relative hole in their capabilities.

Regardless of the skill of your Rek'Sai ally, you should focus on maximizing your gold income, outlasting your enemies, and taking down objectives. If you do this, you should do well, regardless.
