Overall, Vayne sees a large worsening in her KDA (ratio of kills and assists to deaths) when paired with Zed. His KDA went down from NaN to NaN.

When Vayne is paired with Zed, she gets a barely noticable drop in her total damage dealt. This could demonstrate that Zed doesn't help protection for her to dish out more damage or that his allyship also helps extend the match's duration. Similarly, when Vayne is played together with Zed on the same side, he usually scores many fewer killing sprees than when she plays alone. This is contrasting evidence that she is worse when playing alongside Zed.
Additionally, when Vayne plays with Zed on the same team, she often receives a little more damage than when she fights alone. Getting dealt more damage may mean that Zed does a poor job of protecting Vayne during teamfights.

Is Vayne better when played alongside Zed?
There is no one best companion for Vayne that will 100% of the time be her #1 ally. Yet, overall, Zed is a not very good teammate for Vayne. By playing on the same side as Vayne, he decreases their win rate by -3.0% to 47.3%. This clearly indicates that there is a bad bond between Vayne and Zed that results in them performing not as well together than alone.
Zed has a lower difficulty than Vayne. That means you don't need to be careful when lining up Zed allies to play with, as they will require a relatively low level of skill to cooperate well with you.
Working alongside, you will likely see an overall large increase in your team’s capacity to dish out massive AD. When paired, these two can tear through the other team with a lot of physcial damage.
Although, by grouping Vayne and Zed together, you will not be providing your other teammates much AP. We recommend you include other champions on your team that neutralizes this gap in this pairing's potential.
Regardless of your Zed ally's skill level, you need to focus on maximizing your gold income, outlasting your enemies, and clearing objectives. If you do this, you will do well, regardless.
