Overall, Zed sees a very large drop in his KDA (ratio of kills and assists to deaths) when paired with Zeri. His KDA went down from NaN to NaN.

When Zed is an ally to Zeri, he sees a little drop in his total damage dealt. This change may demonstrate that Zeri does not help cover for him to dish out more damage or that their presence also helps extend the round's duration. Similarly, when Zed is played with Zeri on the same team, he usually scores many fewer killing sprees compared to when he plays without Zeri. This is contrasting evidence that he is worse when playing with Zeri.

Additionally, when Zed plays with Zeri on the same team, he typically receives a little more damage than when he plays alone. Receiving more damage could mean that Zeri does a poor job of protecting Zed during teamfights.

Is Zed better when played alongside Zeri?

There is no universally accepted best ally for Zed that will no matter what be his #1 synergy. However, overall, Zeri is a not very good companion for Zed. By being on the same side as Zed, they lowers their win rate by -2.8% to 45.6%. This signals that there is a harmful strategic relationship between Zed and Zeri that allows them to perform worse together than alone.

Zeri has a lower difficulty than Zed. That means you don't need to be cautious when enlisting Zeri teammates to play with, as they will require a lower level of skill to be able to play well with you.

Fighting cooperatively, you should observe an overall large increase in your team’s capability to deal physical damage. Combined, these champs can provide a great amount of sustained physical damage.

Conversely, by aligning Zed and Zeri together, you will not be granting your other teammates much magical damage output. Make sure to have other champs on your team that nullifies this relative hole in this pairing's playstyle.

Regardless of your Zeri ally's ability, you need to focus on maximizing your income, warding to avoid ambushes, and taking down objectives. If you do this, you should do well anyway.
