Is Trundle better when played alongside Zed?

There is no top champion pairing for Trundle that will no matter what be his ideal ally. Yet, Zed is a very bad companion for Trundle. By playing on the same team as Trundle, he drops their win rate by -3.4% to 49.3%. This demonstrates that there is a very bad strategic relationship between Trundle and Zed that results in them performing not as well together than without each other.

Zed has a greater difficulty than Trundle. That means you must be careful when arranging Zed comrades to fight alongside, as they will need a greater level of skill to be able to fight well with you.

When playing alongside, Trundle players should expect to observe an overall large increase in your team’s capability to destroy wih physical damage. When paired, these champions should be able to take down targets with auto-attacks and other AD damage abilities.

In contrast, by aligning Trundle and Zed together, you may not be providing your other teammates a lot of magic damage. Plan to have other champions on your team that offsets this relative gap in this pairing's kit.

Regardless of your Zed ally's skill level, you need to focus on increasing your gold income, outlasting your enemies, and clearing objectives. If you follow these simple suggestions, you will do well anyway.
