This is contrasting evidence that he is worse when playing with Zed.
Moreover, when Pantheon plays with Zed on the same side, he often takes a little more damage than when he plays alone. Taking more damage could indicate that Zed does a poor job of covering Pantheon during teamfights.
There is no top ally for Pantheon that will no matter what be his best ally. However, overall, Zed is a very bad teammate for Pantheon. By playing on the same team as Pantheon, he decreases their win rate by -3.2% to 46.2%.
