How to Play with Twitch as Zed in LoL

The Zed Twitch synergy stats shown here demonstrate the areas of his gameplay that do better (or worse) when paired with Twitch, 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 large worsening in his KDA (ratio of kills and assists to deaths) when paired with Twitch. His KDA worsened from NaN to NaN. This worsening shows that Twitch helps Zed perform poorer in ranked League games. Yet, the small difference shows that this performance change is only marginal.

When Zed is paired with Twitch, he sees a little drop in his full damage dealt. This change could demonstrate that Twitch does not support by providing protection for him to dish out more damage or that his presence on the team also helps extend the match's duration. Similarly, when Zed is played with Twitch on the same team, he usually scores many fewer killing sprees compared to when he plays on his own. This is contrasting evidence that he is worse when playing alongside Twitch.

Moreover, when Zed plays with Twitch on the same side, he often receives a little more damage than when he plays alone. Getting dealt more damage may mean that Twitch does a poor job of protecting Zed in teamfights.

Is Zed better when played alongside Twitch?

There is no top champion pairing for Zed that will 100% of the time be his ideal teammate. Yet, Twitch is a very typical companion for Zed. By being on the same side as Zed, he improves their win rate by 0.9% to 49.3%. This clearly indicates that there is a weak bond between Zed and Twitch that allows them to perform at the top of their game together than alone.

Twitch has a lower difficulty than Zed. That means Zed players don't need to be careful when finding Twitch allies to play with, as they will require a lower level of skill to be able to work well with you.

Working together, you should see an overall large increase in your team’s capability to dish out massive AD. When paired, these champions can tear through the other team with a lot of physcial damage.

Although, by grouping Zed and Twitch together, you probably will not be providing your other teammates a lot of crowd control. We recommend you pick other champions on your team that helps cover this disparity in this pairing's kit.

Regardless of your Twitch ally's skill level, you need to focus on increasing your income, warding to avoid ambushes, and clearing objectives. If you heed this simple advice, you will do well, regardless.
