Overall, Zed sees a very large drop in his KDA (ratio of kills and assists to deaths) when paired with Briar. His KDA went down from NaN to NaN. This negative change shows that Briar helps Zed perform poorer in competitive LoL rounds. Yet, the small difference indicates that this performance change is only marginal.
When Zed plays on the same team as Briar, he sees a small decrease in his total damage dealt. This change could indicate that Briar does not help protection for him to dish out more damage or that their presence also helps increase the match's duration. Similarly, when Zed is played with Briar on the same team, he usually scores many fewer killing sprees than when he plays without Briar. This is contrasting evidence that he is worse when playing with Briar.
Additionally, when Zed plays with Briar on the same team, he often takes a little less damage than when he plays alone. Taking not as much damage could mean that Briar does a decent job of covering Zed in team fights.

Briar has a much lower diffuclty than Zed. That means Zed players don't need to be very careful when finding Briar allies to go into battle on the same side as, as they will have to have a much lower level of skill to be able to cooperate well with you.
Working together, you should observe an overall large increase in your team’s ability to dish out massive AD. Combined, these champions can tear through the other team with a lot of physcial damage.
Although, by bringing Zed and Briar together, you probably will not be granting your team a great deal of magical damage output. Plan to bring other champs on your team that neutralizes this relative disparity in this pairing's kit.
Regardless of the skill of your Briar ally, you need to focus on maximizing your income, staying alive by avoiding foolish fights, and clearing objectives. If you heed this simple advice, you will do well anyway.
