Is Twitch better when played alongside Zed?

There is no one best champion pairing for Twitch that will 100% of the time be his ideal teammate. However, overall, Zed is a very typical teammate for Twitch. By being on the same team as Twitch, he lowers their win rate by -0.7% to 49.3%. This proves that there is only a small synergy between Twitch and Zed that results in them performing not as well together than without each other.

Zed has a greater difficulty than Twitch. That means Twitch players must be very careful when lining up Zed teammates to fight alongside, as they will have to have a greater level of skill to be able to do well with you.

Working together, Twitch players should see an overall large increase in your team’s capacity to dish out massive AD. Together, these two can provide a great amount of sustained physical damage.

Although, by pairing Twitch and Zed together, you probably will not be providing your other teammates a lot of support. We recommend you pick other champs on your team that nullifies this gap in this pairing's kit.

Regardless of your Zed ally's ability, you should focus on maximizing your gold income, staying alive by avoiding foolish fights, and taking down objectives. If you heed this simple advice, you should do well, regardless.
