Overall, Zed sees a very large drop in his KDA (ratio of kills and assists to deaths) when paired with Jayce. His KDA went down from NaN to NaN.

This is contrasting evidence that he is worse when playing synergisticly with Jayce.

Is Zed better when played alongside Jayce?
There is no one best synergy for Zed that will always be his #1 teammate. Yet, Jayce is a very bad teammate for Zed. By locking into the same side as Zed, he lowers their win rate by -3.2% to 45.2%. This demonstrates that there is a terrible bond between Zed and Jayce that results in them performing not as well together than without each other.
Jayce has a lower difficulty than Zed. That means Zed players don't need to be very careful when enlisting Jayce teammates to fight alongside, as they will need a lower level of skill to cooperate well with you.
When playing cooperatively, Zed players should expect to see an overall large increase in your team’s capability to deal physical damage. Combined, these champs can provide a great amount of sustained physical damage.
In contrast, by grouping Zed and Jayce together, you probably will not be providing your other teammates enough AP. We recommend you pick other champs on your team that offsets this relative hole in their playstyle.
Regardless of the ability of your Jayce ally, you should focus on maximizing your gold income, outlasting your enemies, and clearing objectives. If you heed this simple advice, you will do well anyway.
