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

This change may signal that Zoe does not provide cover for him to dish out more damage or that her participation also helps extend the round's duration. Similarly, when Varus is played alongside Zoe on the same side, he usually scores many fewer killing sprees compared to when he plays without Zoe. This is contrasting evidence that he is worse when playing with Zoe.
Additionally, when Varus plays with Zoe on the same team, he often takes a little less damage than when he plays alone. Taking not as much damage could mean that Zoe does a decent job of protecting Varus in team fights.

Fighting together, Varus players should observe an overall large increase in your team’s ability to deal magical damage. Combined, these champions can deal quite a lot of AP type damage.
In contrast, by aligning Varus and Zoe together, you probably will not be providing your team enough utility. We recommend you have other champions on your team that neutralizes this relative gap in this pairing's kit.
Regardless of the skill of your Zoe ally, you should focus on increasing your income, staying alive by avoiding foolish fights, and clearing objectives. If you follow these simple suggestions, you will do well, regardless.
