By playing on the same team as Rek'Sai, they increases their win rate by 0.5% to 48.9%. This clearly indicates that there is not really a strong synergy between Rek'Sai and Naafiri that results in them performing better together than alone.

Naafiri has a lower difficulty than Rek'Sai. That means Rek'Sai players don't need to be careful when lining up Naafiri comrades to play with, as they will require a lower level of skill to work well with you.

Playing cooperatively, you should see an overall large increase in your team’s ability to destroy wih physical damage. Combined, these champions should be able to take down targets with auto-attacks and other AD damage abilities.

In contrast, by grouping Rek'Sai and Naafiri together, you probably will not be providing your side a lot of magical damage output. Plan to pick other champs on your team that helps cover this relative disparity in this pairing's abilities.

Regardless of the skill of your Naafiri ally, you need to focus on increasing your income, staying alive by avoiding foolish fights, and taking down objectives. If you do this, you will do well anyway.
