How to Play with Vayne as Zed in LoL
The Zed Vayne synergy stats shown here demonstrate the areas of his gameplay that do better (or worse) when paired with Vayne, 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 Vayne. His KDA fell from NaN to NaN. This negative change shows that Vayne helps Zed perform not as well in competitive LoL games. Yet, the small difference proves that this performance change is only marginal.
When Zed is an ally to Vayne, he gets a small decrease in his total damage dealt. This change may signal that Vayne doesn't help protection for him to deal more damage or that her presence also helps increase the round's duration. Similarly, when Zed is played with Vayne on the same side, he usually scores many fewer killing sprees compared to when he plays alone. This is contrasting evidence that he is worse when playing synergisticly with Vayne.
Additionally, when Zed plays with Vayne on the same side, he on average receives a little less damage than when he fights alone. Taking not as much damage may mean that Vayne does a decent job of covering Zed in team fights.

Is Zed better when played alongside Vayne?
There is no universally accepted best synergy for Zed that will 100% of the time be his best teammate. Yet, Vayne is a below average companion for Zed. By locking into the same team as Zed, she drops their win rate by -1.1% to 47.3%. This signals that there is a negative synergy between Zed and Vayne that allows them to perform worse together than alone.
Vayne has a greater difficulty than Zed. That means Zed players must be very careful when arranging Vayne allies to fight alongside, as they will require a greater level of skill to fight well with you.
Fighting alongside, you should expect to witness an overall large increase in your team’s capacity to deal physical damage. Combined, these champions can tear through the other team with a lot of physcial damage.
Conversely, by aligning Zed and Vayne together, you will not be granting your other allies very much magical damage output. We recommend you bring other champions on your team that nullifies this relative hole in their abilities.
Regardless of the skill of your Vayne ally, you should focus on increasing your income, warding to avoid ambushes, and clearing objectives. If you follow these simple suggestions, you will do well, regardless.
