Is Zed better when played alongside Zac?

There is no top ally for Zed that will 100% of the time be his top synergy. Yet, Zac is a pretty good teammate for Zed. By being on the same team as Zed, he increases their win rate by 2.6% to 51.0%. This signals that there is a good bond between Zed and Zac that allows them to perform better together than without each other.

Zac has a greater difficulty than Zed. That means Zed players need to be cautious when lining up Zac teammates to fight alongside, as they will need a greater level of skill to work well with you.

Working alongside, you will likely see an overall large increase in your team’s ability to deal physical damage. Combined, these champs can tear through the other team with a lot of physcial damage.

In contrast, by aligning Zed and Zac together, you probably will not be granting your other allies much crowd control. We recommend you have other champs on your team that helps cover this hole in their abilities.

Regardless of the ability of your Zac ally, you need to focus on increasing your gold income, warding to avoid ambushes, and clearing objectives. If you do this, you should do well anyway.
