Is Zed better when played alongside Viktor?
There is no universally accepted best companion for Zed that will 100% of the time be his top ally. Yet, Viktor is a very typical teammate for Zed. By locking into the same side as Zed, he increases their win rate by 0.5% to 48.9%. This signals that there is a weak strategic relationship between Zed and Viktor that allows them to perform better together than alone.
Viktor has a greater difficulty than Zed. That means you need to be careful when lining up Viktor comrades to fight alongside, as they will require a greater level of skill to cooperate well with you.
Fighting alongside, Zed players should expect to observe an overall large increase in your team’s capability to deal physical damage. When paired, these champs can tear through the other team with a lot of physcial damage.
Although, by bringing Zed and Viktor together, you probably will not be granting your other allies very much utility. Make sure to have other champions on your team that neutralizes this disparity in this pairing's capabilities.
Regardless of your Viktor ally's ability, you should focus on increasing your gold income, outlasting your enemies, and taking down objectives. If you do this, you should do well, regardless.
