Overall, Zed sees a very large drop in his KDA (ratio of kills and assists to deaths) when paired with Yasuo. His KDA worsened from NaN to NaN. This worsening shows that Yasuo helps Zed perform worse in competitive League matches. Yet, the small difference demonstrates that this performance change is only marginal.

This change could indicate that Yasuo does not provide cover for him to deal more damage or that his presence on the team also helps increase the match's duration. Similarly, when Zed is played together with Yasuo on the same team, he usually scores many fewer killing sprees than when he plays alone. This is contrasting evidence that he is worse when playing with Yasuo.
Moreover, when Zed plays with Yasuo on the same team, he often takes a little more damage than when he fights alone. Taking more damage could mean that Yasuo does a poor job of covering Zed during teamfights.
