How to Play with Zed as Sett in LoL

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

Overall, Sett sees a large worsening in his KDA (ratio of kills and assists to deaths) when paired with Zed. His KDA went down from NaN to NaN. This worsening shows that Zed helps Sett perform worse in ranked League of Legends matches. Yet, the small difference demonstrates that this performance change is only marginal.

When Sett tries to synergize with Zed, he gets a small increase in his complete damage dealt. This could demonstrate that Zed helps provide cover for him to deal more damage or that his support also helps increase the round's duration. Similarly, when Sett is played together with Zed on the same team, he usually scores many fewer killing sprees than when he plays on his own. This is contrasting evidence that he is worse when playing alongside Zed.

Moreover, when Sett plays with Zed on the same side, he often receives a little more damage than when he fights alone. Taking more damage could indicate that Zed does a poor job of covering Sett in teamfights.

Is Sett better when played alongside Zed?

There is no universally accepted best synergy for Sett that will 100% of the time be his #1 synergy. Yet, overall, Zed is a very bad teammate for Sett. By being on the same team as Sett, he drops their win rate by -3.9% to 46.6%. This shows that there is an easy to overcome and exploit bond between Sett and Zed that allows them to perform not as well together than alone.

Zed has a much greater difficulty compared to Sett. That means you must be cautious when enlisting Zed comrades to fight alongside, as they will have to have a much greater level of skill to be able to fight well with you.

When playing on the same side, Sett players should witness an overall large increase in your team’s ability to dish out massive AD. Combined, these two can tear through the other team with a lot of physcial damage.

Although, by aligning Sett and Zed together, you will not be granting your team much AP. Make sure to pick other champs on your team that helps cover this hole in this pairing's potential.

Regardless of the skill of your Zed teammate, you need to focus on maximizing your income, warding to avoid ambushes, and clearing objectives. If you heed this simple advice, you should do well anyway.
