In the future of reworks: Rival champions should be synergistic as allies and nullifying as enemies

Imagine if they had clauses on their abilities which interacted in ways against eacchother as canceling effects with aims at making the champions always be a stalemate against eachother on average.

and what if they had singular bonuses in their kits if they were a duo, such as renekton getting more rage for hitting a target that nasus slows, or Diana passive having a special interaction with leona passive

It seems like fun in theory, but it'd be a nightmare to balance. Even the utility that Xayah and Rakan bring help them become a primer bot lane duo. Imagine Lucian Thresh had special interactions that affected gameplay. What a nightmare.

It'd be worth it for bot lane diversity but otherwise meh I get it

I think it'd be cool

how about something like garen/lux?

Oh it doesn't really matter what combo you bring, adding free damage/utility requires the power budget to be cut elsewhere. It makes balance more difficult that it already is. I don't mind more Xayah/Rakan type combos but its gonna be hard to do consistently.
