How to Play with Cassiopeia as Zed in LoL

Overall, Zed sees a large worsening in his KDA (ratio of kills and assists to deaths) when paired with Cassiopeia. His KDA went down from NaN to NaN. This drop shows that Cassiopeia helps Zed perform poorer in competitive League of Legends games. Yet, the small difference shows that this performance change is not very impactful.

When Zed is an ally to Cassiopeia, he observes a little increase in his full damage dealt. This may signal that Cassiopeia provides cover for him to deal more damage or that her presence on the team also helps increase the game's duration. Similarly, when Zed is played together with Cassiopeia on the same side, he usually scores many fewer killing sprees compared to when he plays on his own. This is contrasting evidence that he is worse when playing with Cassiopeia.

Moreover, when Zed plays with Cassiopeia on the same side, he often takes more damage than when he fights alone. Receiving more damage may mean that Cassiopeia does a poor job of covering Zed during teamfights.

Is Zed better when played alongside Cassiopeia?

There is no perfect companion for Zed that will always be his best ally. However, overall, Cassiopeia is a very typical companion for Zed. By playing on the same side as Zed, she raises their win rate by 0.6% to 49.0%. This shows that there is not really a strong bond between Zed and Cassiopeia that allows them to perform better together than alone.

Cassiopeia has a greater difficulty than Zed. That means Zed players should be careful when lining up Cassiopeia comrades to play with, as they will require a greater level of skill to be able to cooperate well with you.

Fighting cooperatively, you should expect to observe an overall large increase in your team’s capability to dish out massive AD. Combined, these champs can tear through the other team with a lot of physcial damage.

In contrast, by aligning Zed and Cassiopeia together, you will not be granting your other allies a great deal of protection for burst damage. We recommend you have other champions on your team that helps cover this disparity in their potential.

Regardless of the ability of your Cassiopeia ally, you need to focus on increasing your gold income, outlasting your enemies, and clearing objectives. If you do this, you should do well anyway.
