How to Play with Kayn as Zed in LoL
The Zed Kayn synergy stats shown here demonstrate the areas of his gameplay that do better (or worse) when paired with Kayn, compared to his overall stats. Significant differences are areas of focus that highlight how his gameplay changes when paired with this other champion.
Overall, Zed sees a very large drop in his KDA (ratio of kills and assists to deaths) when paired with Kayn. His KDA fell from NaN to NaN. This decrease shows that Kayn helps Zed perform not as well in competitive League of Legends rounds. Yet, the small difference demonstrates that this performance change is only marginal.
When Zed is an ally to Kayn, he observes a marginal improvement in his full damage dealt. This may demonstrate that Kayn supports by providing protection for him to dish out more damage or that his allyship also helps increase the game's duration. Similarly, when Zed is played alongside Kayn on the same team, he usually scores many fewer killing sprees than when he plays alone. This is contrasting evidence that he is worse when playing synergisticly with Kayn.
Moreover, when Zed plays with Kayn on the same side, he usually takes a little less damage than when he plays alone. Taking not as much damage could mean that Kayn does a decent job of covering Zed during teamfights.

Is Zed better when played alongside Kayn?
There is no top champion pairing for Zed that will always be his top synergy. Yet, Kayn is a relatively poor teammate for Zed. By locking into the same team as Zed, he lowers their win rate by -2.5% to 45.9%. This clearly indicates that there is a negative synergy between Zed and Kayn that allows them to perform not as well together than alone.
Kayn has a greater difficulty than Zed. That means Zed players must be cautious when arranging Kayn comrades to play with, as they will need a greater level of skill to be able to play well with you.
Working alongside, you will likely see an overall large increase in your team’s ability to deal physical damage. When paired, these two can provide a great amount of sustained physical damage.
Conversely, by aligning Zed and Kayn together, you probably will not be providing your other teammates very much magic damage. We recommend you include other champs on your team that helps cover this gap in their abilities.
Regardless of your Kayn ally's ability, you need to focus on increasing your income, outlasting your enemies, and clearing objectives. If you heed this simple advice, you will do well, regardless.
