Fighting alongside, Sion players should expect to witness an overall large increase in your team’s capability to destroy wih physical damage. Combined, these champs should be able to take down targets with auto-attacks and other AD damage abilities.
Although, by aligning Sion and Zed together, you may not be giving your side very much AP. We recommend you bring other champions on your team that neutralizes this relative gap in their potential.
Regardless of your Zed ally's ability, you need to focus on increasing your income, outlasting your enemies, and clearing objectives. If you do this, you should do well anyway.
