How to Play with Qiyana as Zed in LoL

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

When Zed plays on the same team as Qiyana, he gets a little drop in his total damage dealt. This change could indicate that Qiyana doesn't help protection for him to deal more damage or that her presence on the team also helps extend the round's duration. Similarly, when Zed is played with Qiyana on the same side, he usually scores many fewer killing sprees than when he plays alone. This is contrasting evidence that he is worse when playing with Qiyana.

Moreover, when Zed plays with Qiyana on the same side, he often receives significantly more damage than when he fights alone. Getting dealt more damage could mean that Qiyana does a poor job of covering Zed during team fights.

Is Zed better when played alongside Qiyana?

There is no ideal ally for Zed that will always be his best teammate. Yet, Qiyana is a decent companion for Zed. By playing on the same team as Zed, she increases their win rate by 1.4% to 49.8%. This signals that there is pretty good bond between Zed and Qiyana that results in them performing at the top of their game together than without each other.

Qiyana has a greater difficulty than Zed. That means you must be careful when enlisting Qiyana comrades to fight alongside, as they will require a greater level of skill to be able to cooperate well with you.

Working cooperatively, you will likely witness an overall large increase in your team’s capacity to dish out massive AD. When paired, these champions should be able to take down targets with auto-attacks and other AD damage abilities.

Conversely, by grouping Zed and Qiyana together, you will not be granting your other teammates enough engage. Plan to pick other champs on your team that nullifies this gap in their abilities.

Regardless of the skill of your Qiyana teammate, you should focus on maximizing your income, warding to avoid ambushes, and clearing objectives. If you follow these simple suggestions, you will do well, regardless.
