By playing on the same side as Zed, he lowers their win rate by -0.6% to 47.8%. This signals that there is not really a strong bond between Zed and Rumble that results in them performing not as well together than without each other.

Rumble has a greater difficulty than Zed. That means you should be very careful when finding Rumble teammates to play with, as they will require a greater level of skill to cooperate well with you.

When playing cooperatively, you should expect to witness an overall large increase in your team’s capacity to destroy wih physical damage. When paired, these champions can tear through the other team with a lot of physcial damage.

Although, by bringing Zed and Rumble together, you will not be providing your team a great deal of utility. Make sure to have other champions on your team that offsets this hole in their kit.

Regardless of your Rumble ally's skill level, you should focus on increasing your gold income, outlasting your enemies, and clearing objectives. If you heed this simple advice, you will do well, regardless.
