Playing cooperatively, Zed players should observe an overall large increase in your team’s ability to destroy wih physical damage. When paired, these champions should be able to take down targets with auto-attacks and other AD damage abilities.

Although, by grouping Zed and Kha'Zix together, you will not be providing your team enough crowd control. We recommend you pick other champions on your team that helps cover this relative disparity in this pairing's capabilities.

Regardless of your Kha'Zix ally's ability, you need to focus on maximizing your gold income, warding to avoid ambushes, and taking down objectives. If you do this, you should do well anyway.
