Is Zac better when played alongside Akali?

There is no universally accepted best synergy for Zac that will always be his ideal synergy. Yet, Akali is a very typical teammate for Zac. By playing on the same team as Zac, she decreases their win rate by -0.9% to 50.9%. This signals that there is only a small bond between Zac and Akali that results in them performing not as well together than without each other.

Akali has a lower difficulty than Zac. That means you don't need to be careful when enlisting Akali comrades to fight alongside, as they will need a relatively low level of skill to do well with you.

When playing cooperatively, Zac players will likely observe an overall large increase in your team’s capability to deal magical damage. When paired, these champs are able to dish out a surprising amount of magic type damage.

In contrast, by bringing Zac and Akali together, you will not be providing your other allies a lot of utility. Plan to bring other champions on your team that neutralizes this gap in this pairing's capabilities.

Regardless of your Akali ally's ability, you should focus on maximizing your gold income, warding to avoid ambushes, and taking down objectives. If you do this, you should do well anyway.
