Is Zac better when played alongside Poppy?

There is no ideal ally for Zac that will 100% of the time be his top synergy. Yet, Poppy is a very typical ally for Zac. By locking into the same team as Zac, she drops their win rate by -0.9% to 50.9%. This signals that there is not really a strong strategic relationship between Zac and Poppy that results in them performing not as well together than without each other.

Poppy has a lower difficulty than Zac. That means you don't need to be careful when lining up Poppy allies to play with, as they will have to have a lower level of skill to fight well with you.

Fighting together, Zac players will likely observe an overall large increase in your team’s ability to soak up damage. When paired, these champs might be able to provide enough cover for their team's carries.

Although, by aligning Zac and Poppy together, you probably will not be giving your other allies enough sustained damage output. Make sure to include other champs on your team that fills this hole in this pairing's capabilities.

Regardless of the skill of your Poppy ally, you should focus on maximizing your gold income, staying alive by avoiding foolish fights, and clearing objectives. If you heed this simple advice, you will do well anyway.
