Is Taliyah better when played alongside Zed?

There is no ideal companion for Taliyah that will always be her top synergy. However, overall, Zed is a very typical teammate for Taliyah. By being on the same team as Taliyah, he decreases their win rate by -1.0% to 47.8%. This demonstrates that there is a weak bond between Taliyah and Zed that allows them to perform worse together than without each other.

Zed has a greater difficulty than Taliyah. That means Taliyah players should be cautious when lining up Zed comrades to play with, as they will require a greater level of skill to be able to do well with you.

Fighting cooperatively, you will likely witness an overall large increase in your team’s ability to destroy wih physical damage. Combined, these champions should be able to take down targets with auto-attacks and other AD damage abilities.

Although, by bringing Taliyah and Zed together, you probably will not be providing your other teammates a great deal of utility. Plan to have other champs on your team that helps cover this disparity in this pairing's playstyle.

Regardless of your Zed ally's skill level, you should focus on maximizing your gold income, staying alive by avoiding foolish fights, and clearing objectives. If you do this, you will do well, regardless.
