This is contrasting evidence that she is worse when playing alongside Zed.

By being on the same side as Gwen, he has no effect on their win rate by 0.0% to 48.1%. This proves that there is a weak strategic relationship between Gwen and Zed that allows them to perform at the same level together than alone.
Zed has a greater difficulty than Gwen. That means Gwen players should be careful when finding Zed comrades to go into battle on the same side as, as they will require a greater level of skill to work well with you.
When playing cooperatively, Gwen players will likely observe an overall large increase in your team’s capability to destroy wih physical damage. When paired, these champions can provide a great amount of sustained physical damage.
Although, by grouping Gwen and Zed together, you may not be granting your other allies enough crowd control. Make sure to include other champs on your team that nullifies this disparity in their abilities.
Regardless of the ability of your Zed ally, you need to focus on maximizing your gold income, outlasting your enemies, and taking down objectives. If you follow these simple suggestions, you should do well anyway.
