Overall, Zed sees a very large drop in his KDA (ratio of kills and assists to deaths) when paired with Gwen. His KDA went down from NaN to NaN. This negative change shows that Gwen helps Zed perform not as well in competitive League of Legends games. Yet, the small difference proves that this performance change is not very impactful.
When Zed plays on the same team as Gwen, he sees a little decrease in his full damage output. This could signal that Gwen does not help cover for him to dish out more damage or that her allyship also helps extend the round's duration. Similarly, when Zed is played alongside Gwen on the same team, he usually scores many fewer killing sprees compared to when he plays without Gwen. This is contrasting evidence that he is worse when playing synergisticly with Gwen.
Additionally, when Zed plays with Gwen on the same team, he usually takes a little less damage than when he fights alone. Taking not as much damage could indicate that Gwen does a decent job of covering Zed in teamfights.

Regardless of your Gwen ally's skill level, you should focus on maximizing your gold income, outlasting your enemies, and clearing objectives. If you do this, you will do well, regardless.
