Is Jax better when played alongside Zed?

There is no one best companion for Jax that will 100% of the time be his top teammate. However, Zed is a below average ally for Jax. By being on the same side as Jax, he decreases their win rate by -1.7% to 49.1%. This proves that there is a harmful bond between Jax and Zed that results in them performing not as well together than without each other.

Zed has a greater difficulty than Jax. That means Jax players must be cautious when arranging Zed teammates to play with, as they will need a greater level of skill to be able to cooperate well with you.

Playing on the same side, Jax players should observe an overall large increase in your team’s capability to dish out massive AD. Together, these champs should be able to take down targets with auto-attacks and other AD damage abilities.

In contrast, by grouping Jax and Zed together, you will not be granting your side enough support. Make sure to have other champions on your team that fills this relative disparity in this pairing's abilities.

Regardless of the skill of your Zed ally, you should focus on increasing your gold income, staying alive by avoiding foolish fights, and clearing objectives. If you follow these simple suggestions, you should do well, regardless.
