This is contrasting evidence that he is worse when playing with Zoe.
Additionally, when Talon plays with Zoe on the same team, he often receives much more damage than when he fights alone. Receiving more damage could mean that Zoe does a poor job of covering Talon in teamfights.

Working on the same side, you should expect to see an overall large increase in your team’s ability to deal physical damage. Together, these champs can tear through the other team with a lot of physcial damage.
Conversely, by aligning Talon and Zoe together, you will not be granting your other allies enough utility. We recommend you have other champs on your team that neutralizes this relative gap in their abilities.
Regardless of the skill of your Zoe ally, you should focus on increasing your gold income, warding to avoid ambushes, and clearing objectives. If you do this, you will do well, regardless.
