Overall, Kai'Sa sees a very large drop in her KDA (ratio of kills and assists to deaths) when paired with Leona. His KDA decreased from NaN to NaN. This decrease shows that Leona helps Kai'Sa perform not as well in ranked League of Legends rounds. Yet, the small difference shows that this performance change is not very impactful.

When Kai'Sa is an ally to Leona, she observes a little increase in her total damage dealt. This change could signal that Leona helps provide cover for her to deal more damage or that her participation also helps increase the game's duration. Similarly, when Kai'Sa is played alongside Leona on the same side, he usually scores many fewer killing sprees compared to when she plays on his own. This is contrasting evidence that she is worse when playing synergisticly with Leona.

Moreover, when Kai'Sa plays with Leona on the same team, she typically receives a little less damage than when she fights alone. Taking not as much damage could mean that Leona does a decent job of covering Kai'Sa during teamfights.

Is Kai'Sa better when played alongside Leona?

There is no ideal champion pairing for Kai'Sa that will 100% of the time be her top teammate. However, Leona is a good companion for Kai'Sa. By playing on the same team as Kai'Sa, she raises their win rate by 2.1% to 48.6%. This shows that there is a somewhat important bond between Kai'Sa and Leona that results in them performing better together than without each other.

Leona has a lower difficulty than Kai'Sa. That means Kai'Sa players don't need to be cautious when finding Leona comrades to fight alongside, as they will have to have a relatively low level of skill to fight well with you.

When playing together, you should expect to see an overall large increase in your team’s capacity to tank a lot of damage. When paired, these champs might be able to provide enough cover for their team's carries.

Conversely, by grouping Kai'Sa and Leona together, you may not be granting your side a great deal of AP. Make sure to have other champs on your team that neutralizes this disparity in this pairing's potential.

Regardless of your Leona ally's skill level, you need to focus on increasing your income, outlasting your enemies, and clearing objectives. If you follow these simple suggestions, you should do well anyway.
