Is Malzahar better when played alongside LeBlanc?

There is no perfect champion pairing for Malzahar that will 100% of the time be his ideal teammate. However, LeBlanc is a relatively poor companion for Malzahar. By being on the same side as Malzahar, she decreases their win rate by -2.5% to 48.0%. This signals that there is a harmful bond between Malzahar and LeBlanc that results in them performing worse together than alone.

LeBlanc has a greater difficulty than Malzahar. That means you should be cautious when finding LeBlanc teammates to go into battle on the same side as, as they will have to have a greater level of skill to be able to cooperate well with you.

Working cooperatively, you will likely see an overall large increase in your team’s ability to deal magic damage. Combined, these two can deal quite a lot of AP type damage.

Although, by aligning Malzahar and LeBlanc together, you probably will not be giving your team enough anti-tank damage dealing potential. Plan to have other champions on your team that nullifies this relative hole in this pairing's kit.

Regardless of the skill of your LeBlanc teammate, you should focus on increasing your income, staying alive by avoiding foolish fights, and taking down objectives. If you do this, you will do well, regardless.
