How to Play with Vex as Zed in LoL

The Zed Vex synergy stats shown here demonstrate the areas of his gameplay that do better (or worse) when paired with Vex, 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 very large drop in his KDA (ratio of kills and assists to deaths) when paired with Vex. His KDA decreased from NaN to NaN. This drop shows that Vex helps Zed perform not as well in competitive LoL games. Yet, the small difference proves that this performance change is only marginal.

When Zed plays on the same team as Vex, he gets a moderate decrease in his total damage dealt. This difference could demonstrate that Vex does not support by providing protection for him to deal more damage or that their presence on the team also helps extend the match's duration. Similarly, when Zed is played together with Vex on the same team, he usually scores many fewer killing sprees than when he plays on his own. This is contrasting evidence that he is worse when playing alongside Vex.

Moreover, when Zed plays with Vex on the same side, he on average receives more damage than when he fights alone. Getting dealt more damage could indicate that Vex does a poor job of covering Zed in team fights.

Is Zed better when played alongside Vex?

There is no universally accepted best champion pairing for Zed that will 100% of the time be his top synergy. However, overall, Vex is a very typical ally for Zed. By being on the same team as Zed, they decreases their win rate by -0.6% to 47.8%. This proves that there is only a small strategic relationship between Zed and Vex that allows them to perform worse together than without each other.

Vex has a much lower diffuclty than Zed. That means you don't need to be careful when arranging Vex comrades to go into battle on the same side as, as they will require a much lower level of skill to cooperate well with you.

Playing on the same side, you should observe an overall large increase in your team’s ability to destroy wih physical damage. When paired, these champions can provide a great amount of sustained physical damage.

Conversely, by bringing Zed and Vex together, you will not be granting your other allies a lot of magical damage output. We recommend you bring other champs on your team that fills this disparity in their kit.

Regardless of your Vex ally's skill level, you should focus on increasing your income, staying alive by avoiding foolish fights, and taking down objectives. If you do this, you should do well anyway.
