Overall, Brand sees a large worsening in his KDA (ratio of kills and assists to deaths) when paired with Zed. His KDA worsened from NaN to NaN.

This is contrasting evidence that he is worse when playing synergisticly with Zed.
Additionally, when Brand plays with Zed on the same team, he usually takes a little more damage than when he plays alone. Receiving more damage could indicate that Zed does a poor job of protecting Brand in teamfights.

Is Brand better when played alongside Zed?
There is no perfect ally for Brand that will always be his ideal teammate. However, Zed is a very typical ally for Brand. By locking into the same side as Brand, he has no effect on their win rate by 0.0% to 51.4%. This clearly indicates that there is a weak synergy between Brand and Zed that results in them performing at the same level together than without each other.
Zed has a greater difficulty than Brand. That means you must be careful when lining up Zed allies to go into battle on the same side as, as they will require a greater level of skill to work well with you.
Fighting together, Brand players should witness an overall large increase in your team’s capacity to dish out massive AD. Combined, these champions should be able to take down targets with auto-attacks and other AD damage abilities.
Although, by aligning Brand and Zed together, you will not be providing your other teammates very much cover. Make sure to have other champs on your team that helps cover this relative gap in their capabilities.
Regardless of the skill of your Zed ally, you should focus on maximizing your income, outlasting your enemies, and taking down objectives. If you do this, you will do well anyway.
