How to Play with Zed as Vex in LoL

The Vex Zed synergy stats shown here demonstrate the areas of their gameplay that do better (or worse) when paired with Zed, compared to their overall stats. Significant differences are areas of focus that highlight how their gameplay changes when paired with this other champion.

Overall, Vex sees a very large drop in their KDA (ratio of kills and assists to deaths) when paired with Zed. His KDA decreased from NaN to NaN. This drop shows that Zed helps Vex perform worse in ranked League matches. Yet, the small difference indicates that this performance change is only marginal.

When Vex is an ally to Zed, they observes a little drop in their full damage output. This may signal that Zed does not help protection for them to deal more damage or that his support also helps extend the match's duration. Similarly, when Vex is played with Zed on the same team, he usually scores many fewer killing sprees than when they plays alone. This is contrasting evidence that they is worse when playing with Zed.

Additionally, when Vex plays with Zed on the same side, they typically takes a little less damage than when they plays alone. Receiving not as much damage may indicate that Zed does a decent job of covering Vex in team fights.

Is Vex better when played alongside Zed?

There is no one best synergy for Vex that will always be their ideal synergy. However, Zed is a very typical companion for Vex. By playing on the same team as Vex, he drops their win rate by -1.0% to 47.8%. This clearly indicates that there is not really a strong strategic relationship between Vex and Zed that allows them to perform worse together than alone.

Zed has a much greater difficulty compared to Vex. That means you need to be very careful when finding Zed comrades to fight alongside, as they will need a much higher level of skill to do well with you.

When playing together, you should expect to observe an overall large increase in your team’s ability to dish out massive AD. Together, these champions can provide a great amount of sustained physical damage.

Although, by pairing Vex and Zed together, you will not be providing your other teammates much magical damage output. Plan to bring other champs on your team that fills this hole in this pairing's abilities.

Regardless of your Zed ally's skill level, you need to focus on increasing your income, staying alive by avoiding foolish fights, and taking down objectives. If you follow these simple suggestions, you will do well anyway.
