How to Play with Gwen as Zac in LoL

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

Overall, Zac sees a large worsening in his KDA (ratio of kills and assists to deaths) when paired with Gwen. His KDA decreased from NaN to NaN. This worsening shows that Gwen helps Zac perform poorer in competitive League games. Yet, the small difference indicates that this performance change is only marginal.

When Zac is an ally to Gwen, he sees a noticable drop in his full damage output. This change may signal that Gwen does not provide cover for him to deal more damage or that her presence also helps increase the match's duration. Similarly, when Zac is played with Gwen on the same team, he usually scores many fewer killing sprees compared to when he plays without Gwen. This is contrasting evidence that he is worse when playing with Gwen.

Moreover, when Zac plays with Gwen on the same side, he usually takes a little less damage than when he plays alone. Receiving not as much damage could mean that Gwen does a decent job of covering Zac in team fights.

Is Zac better when played alongside Gwen?

There is no one best companion for Zac that will always be his ideal ally. Yet, Gwen is a very bad ally for Zac. By being on the same team as Zac, she drops their win rate by -3.7% to 48.1%. This proves that there is a terrible synergy between Zac and Gwen that results in them performing not as well together than alone.

Gwen has a much lower diffuclty than Zac. That means Zac players don't need to be careful when lining up Gwen teammates to fight alongside, as they will have to have a much lower level of skill to be able to cooperate well with you.

Working together, Zac players will likely observe an overall large increase in your team’s capacity to deal magic damage. When paired, these two can blast through enemies with magic damage.

Conversely, by aligning Zac and Gwen together, you probably will not be giving your side very much crowd control. We recommend you include other champions on your team that nullifies this relative gap in this pairing's potential.

Regardless of your Gwen ally's ability, you should focus on maximizing your income, outlasting your enemies, and clearing objectives. If you do this, you will do well anyway.
