Is Zac better when played alongside Zed?

There is no perfect ally for Zac that will no matter what be his best ally. Yet, overall, Zed is a very typical teammate for Zac. By locking into the same team as Zac, he decreases their win rate by -0.8% to 51.0%. This proves that there is only a small bond between Zac and Zed that allows them to perform worse together than without each other.

Zed has a lower difficulty than Zac. That means Zac players don't need to be cautious when enlisting Zed teammates to fight alongside, as they will need a relatively low level of skill to be able to work well with you.

When playing cooperatively, Zac players should observe an overall large increase in your team’s capacity to dish out massive AD. Combined, these champs can provide a great amount of sustained physical damage.

In contrast, by pairing Zac and Zed together, you will not be providing your other teammates much utility. Make sure to bring other champions on your team that neutralizes this hole in this pairing's potential.

Regardless of the ability of your Zed ally, you should focus on increasing your income, staying alive by avoiding foolish fights, and clearing objectives. If you do this, you should do well, regardless.
