This is contrasting evidence that he is worse when playing alongside Zed.
Moreover, when Rengar plays with Zed on the same team, he on average receives a little more damage than when he fights alone. Taking more damage could mean that Zed does a poor job of protecting Rengar in teamfights.

Is Rengar better when played alongside Zed?

Zed has a lower difficulty than Rengar. That means you don't need to be very careful when arranging Zed teammates to fight alongside, as they will have to have a relatively low level of skill to be able to do well with you.
Working alongside, you should observe an overall large increase in your team’s ability to deal physical damage. When paired, these two can provide a great amount of sustained physical damage.
Although, by aligning Rengar and Zed together, you will not be granting your other teammates much magic damage. Make sure to have other champions on your team that helps cover this disparity in their abilities.
Regardless of the ability of your Zed teammate, you need to focus on maximizing your gold income, warding to avoid ambushes, and taking down objectives. If you heed this simple advice, you should do well, regardless.
