How to Play with Trundle as Zed in LoL

The Zed Trundle synergy stats shown here demonstrate the areas of his gameplay that do better (or worse) when paired with Trundle, compared to his overall stats. Significant differences are areas of focus that highlight how his gameplay changes when paired with this other champion.

Overall, Zed sees a very large drop in his KDA (ratio of kills and assists to deaths) when paired with Trundle. His KDA fell from NaN to NaN. This fall shows that Trundle helps Zed perform worse in ranked League of Legends rounds. Yet, the small difference demonstrates that this performance change is not very impactful.

When Zed is an ally to Trundle, he observes a barely noticable drop in his full damage dealt. This difference could indicate that Trundle doesn't help protection for him to deal more damage or that his allyship also helps increase the match's duration. Similarly, when Zed is played with Trundle on the same side, he usually scores many fewer killing sprees compared to when he plays without Trundle. This is contrasting evidence that he is worse when playing alongside Trundle.

Moreover, when Zed plays with Trundle on the same team, he usually takes a little less damage than when he fights alone. Getting dealt not as much damage could mean that Trundle does a decent job of protecting Zed in teamfights.

Is Zed better when played alongside Trundle?

There is no ideal synergy for Zed that will no matter what be his #1 teammate. However, overall, Trundle is a very typical companion for Zed. By locking into the same side as Zed, he improves their win rate by 0.9% to 49.3%. This clearly indicates that there is a weak synergy between Zed and Trundle that results in them performing at the top of their game together than without each other.

Trundle has a lower difficulty than Zed. That means you don't need to be cautious when arranging Trundle comrades to play with, as they will have to have a relatively low level of skill to fight well with you.

When playing alongside, Zed players should witness an overall large increase in your team’s ability to dish out massive AD. Together, these champions can tear through the other team with a lot of physcial damage.

Although, by pairing Zed and Trundle together, you will not be granting your team much AP. Make sure to bring other champions on your team that offsets this relative hole in this pairing's kit.

Regardless of your Trundle ally's ability, you need to focus on maximizing your income, warding to avoid ambushes, and clearing objectives. If you follow these simple suggestions, you will do well anyway.
