Advice to Understand How Zed Will Play

How to Play with Zed as Jhin in LoL

The Jhin Zed synergy stats shown here demonstrate the areas of his gameplay that do better (or worse) when paired with Zed, compared to his overall stats. Significant differences are areas of focus that highlight how his gameplay changes when paired with this other champion.

Overall, Jhin sees a large worsening in his KDA (ratio of kills and assists to deaths) when paired with Zed. His KDA fell from NaN to NaN. This decrease shows that Zed helps Jhin perform not as well in competitive League of Legends games. Yet, the small difference shows that this performance change is not very impactful.

When Jhin is an ally to Zed, he gets a little decrease in his complete damage output. This may demonstrate that Zed does not provide cover for him to dish out more damage or that his presence also helps increase the match's duration. Similarly, when Jhin is played with Zed on the same team, he usually scores many fewer killing sprees than when he plays on his own. This is contrasting evidence that he is worse when playing alongside Zed.

Moreover, when Jhin plays with Zed on the same team, he typically takes a little more damage than when he plays alone. Taking more damage may indicate that Zed does a poor job of protecting Jhin during team fights.

Is Jhin better when played alongside Zed?

There is no top ally for Jhin that will always be his ideal synergy. Yet, Zed is a below average ally for Jhin. By locking into the same team as Jhin, he decreases their win rate by -2.0% to 49.0%. This clearly indicates that there is a bad synergy between Jhin and Zed that results in them performing worse together than alone.

Zed has a greater difficulty than Jhin. That means Jhin players need to be cautious when enlisting Zed comrades to fight alongside, as they will need a greater level of skill to cooperate well with you.

When playing cooperatively, Jhin players will likely witness an overall large increase in your team’s capability 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 bringing Jhin and Zed together, you may not be granting your side very much tankyness. Make sure to include other champs on your team that helps cover this gap in this pairing's abilities.

Regardless of your Zed ally's skill level, you need to focus on maximizing your income, outlasting your enemies, and taking down objectives. If you do this, you should do well, regardless.
