How to Play with Zed as Veigar in LoL

Overall, Veigar 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 decrease shows that Zed helps Veigar perform not as well in ranked League of Legends matches. Yet, the small difference proves that this performance change is not very impactful.

When Veigar tries to synergize with Zed, he observes a barely noticable drop in his complete damage dealt. This change may indicate that Zed does not provide cover for him to dish out more damage or that his support also helps extend the round's duration. Similarly, when Veigar is played together with Zed on the same team, he usually scores many fewer killing sprees compared to when he plays without Zed. This is contrasting evidence that he is worse when playing with Zed.

Moreover, when Veigar plays with Zed on the same team, he usually takes a little less damage than when he plays alone. Getting dealt not as much damage could mean that Zed does a decent job of protecting Veigar during teamfights.

Is Veigar better when played alongside Zed?

There is no top ally for Veigar that will no matter what be his best teammate. Yet, Zed is a not very good ally for Veigar. By being on the same side as Veigar, he decreases their win rate by -1.1% to 48.2%. This demonstrates that there is a negative synergy between Veigar and Zed that allows them to perform worse together than alone.

Zed has a lower difficulty than Veigar. That means Veigar players don't need to be very careful when arranging Zed teammates to go into battle on the same side as, as they will need a lower level of skill to be able to play well with you.

When playing alongside, Veigar players should expect to see an overall large increase in your team’s capacity to destroy wih physical damage. When paired, these two should be able to take down targets with auto-attacks and other AD damage abilities.

In contrast, by bringing Veigar and Zed together, you will not be giving your other allies enough engage. We recommend you include other champs on your team that nullifies this gap in this pairing's playstyle.

Regardless of the skill of your Zed teammate, you should focus on maximizing your gold income, staying alive by avoiding foolish fights, and clearing objectives. If you do this, you should do well, regardless.
