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

This difference could indicate that Trundle doesn't help protection for him to deal more damage or that his allyship also helps increase the match's duration. Similarly, when Zed is played with Trundle on the same side, he usually scores many fewer killing sprees compared to when he plays without Trundle. This is contrasting evidence that he is worse when playing alongside Trundle.
Moreover, when Zed plays with Trundle on the same team, he usually takes a little less damage than when he fights alone. Getting dealt not as much damage could mean that Trundle does a decent job of protecting Zed in teamfights.
