Overall, Leona sees a large worsening in her KDA (ratio of kills and assists to deaths) when paired with Pyke. His KDA fell from NaN to NaN.

This is contrasting evidence that she is worse when playing with Pyke.

Is Leona better when played alongside Pyke?
There is no perfect synergy for Leona that will no matter what be her best ally. However, Pyke is a terrible companion for Leona.

Pyke has a greater difficulty than Leona. That means you need to be very careful when lining up Pyke teammates to go into battle on the same side as, as they will need a greater level of skill to play well with you.
When playing on the same side, you should expect to witness an overall large increase in your team’s capacity to support your allies. When paired, these two should be able to manipulate the pace of team fights.
In contrast, by grouping Leona and Pyke together, you may not be granting your side enough magic damage. We recommend you include other champs on your team that neutralizes this relative gap in their potential.
Regardless of your Pyke ally's skill level, you need to focus on increasing your gold income, staying alive by avoiding foolish fights, and clearing objectives. If you do this, you should do well, regardless.
