This is contrasting evidence that he is worse when playing with Aphelios.

Is Zac better when played alongside Aphelios?

There is no top synergy for Zac that will always be his top teammate. Yet, Aphelios is a very typical companion for Zac. By playing on the same side as Zac, he increases their win rate by 0.1% to 51.9%. This shows that there is only a small bond between Zac and Aphelios that results in them performing stronger together than without each other.

Aphelios has a greater difficulty than Zac. That means you should be cautious when lining up Aphelios comrades to play with, as they will require a greater level of skill to be able to fight well with you.

Working alongside, you will likely see an overall large increase in your team’s ability to dish out massive AD. When paired, these two should be able to take down targets with auto-attacks and other AD damage abilities.

Conversely, by aligning Zac and Aphelios together, you will not be granting your other teammates very much support. We recommend you include other champions on your team that nullifies this gap in their abilities.

Regardless of your Aphelios ally's skill level, you need to focus on maximizing your income, outlasting your enemies, and clearing objectives. If you do this, you will do well anyway.
