Guide to Synergizing Diana and Zed

Tips for Playing as Diana with Zed

Use Moonfall and Lunar Rush to stay on targets and activate Moonsilver Blade for extra damage.

Consider when to cast Lunar Rush without Moonlight and when to wait for another Crescent Strike.

Landing Crescent Strike is critically important, but don't be afraid to miss. The cooldown is short and the mana cost is low.

Advice to Understand How Zed Will Play

Placing a Living Shadow before using Death Mark can give Zed a safe escape from combat.

Saving energy and spell cooldowns until you use your ultimate will maximize Death Mark's damage.

Quickly double tapping Living Shadow will teleport Zed to his shadow immediately for rapid escapes.

How to Play with Zed as Diana in LoL

Overall, Diana sees a large worsening in her KDA (ratio of kills and assists to deaths) when paired with Zed. His KDA decreased from NaN to NaN. This fall shows that Zed helps Diana perform poorer in ranked League of Legends matches. Yet, the small difference proves that this performance change is only marginal.

This difference could indicate that Zed doesn't help cover for her to deal more damage or that his presence also helps increase the game's duration. Similarly, when Diana is played alongside Zed on the same team, he usually scores many fewer killing sprees than when she plays on his own. This is contrasting evidence that she is worse when playing synergisticly with Zed.

Moreover, when Diana plays with Zed on the same side, she on average takes significantly more damage than when she plays alone. Taking more damage may mean that Zed does a poor job of protecting Diana in team fights.

Is Diana better when played alongside Zed?

There is no perfect ally for Diana that will always be her ideal ally. Yet, Zed is a not very good companion for Diana. By being on the same team as Diana, he decreases their win rate by -1.6% to 48.4%. This shows that there is a harmful synergy between Diana and Zed that results in them performing worse together than without each other.

Zed has a greater difficulty than Diana. That means you need to be cautious when finding Zed allies to fight alongside, as they will require a greater level of skill to be able to do well with you.

Playing together, Diana players should see an overall large increase in your team’s capability to dish out massive AD. Together, these champions can provide a great amount of sustained physical damage.

In contrast, by bringing Diana and Zed together, you may not be granting your team a great deal of utility. We recommend you bring other champions on your team that helps cover this relative hole in this pairing's capabilities.

Regardless of your Zed ally's skill level, you should focus on increasing your income, warding to avoid ambushes, and clearing objectives. If you do this, you should do well, regardless.
