By being on the same team as Blitzcrank, he drops their win rate by -3.4% to 48.2%. This clearly indicates that there is a very bad bond between Blitzcrank and Zed that allows them to perform worse together than alone.

Zed has a greater difficulty than Blitzcrank. That means Blitzcrank players need to be careful when lining up Zed teammates to play with, as they will need a greater level of skill to do well with you.

Playing on the same side, Blitzcrank players should witness an overall large increase in your team’s ability to destroy wih physical damage. Together, these champions can tear through the other team with a lot of physcial damage.

In contrast, by grouping Blitzcrank and Zed together, you will not be granting your team enough magical damage output. We recommend you pick other champions on your team that fills this relative disparity in their playstyle.

Regardless of your Zed ally's skill level, you need to focus on increasing your income, staying alive by avoiding foolish fights, and taking down objectives. If you follow these simple suggestions, you will do well anyway.
