Overall, Zed sees a large worsening in his KDA (ratio of kills and assists to deaths) when paired with Hwei. His KDA fell from NaN to NaN.

When Zed is paired with Hwei, he observes a small increase in his total damage output. This difference may indicate that Hwei helps provide protection for him to deal more damage or that their support also helps extend the game's duration. Similarly, when Zed is played with Hwei on the same team, he usually scores many fewer killing sprees than when he plays on his own. This is contrasting evidence that he is worse when playing with Hwei.

Moreover, when Zed plays with Hwei on the same side, he usually receives more damage than when he plays alone. Receiving more damage may mean that Hwei does a poor job of protecting Zed in team fights.

Is Zed better when played alongside Hwei?

There is no ideal champion pairing for Zed that will 100% of the time be his best teammate. However, overall, Hwei is a below average companion for Zed. By locking into the same team as Zed, they decreases their win rate by -2.7% to 45.7%. This clearly indicates that there is a negative bond between Zed and Hwei that allows them to perform worse together than without each other.

Hwei has a greater difficulty than Zed. That means you must be cautious when finding Hwei allies to fight alongside, as they will require a greater level of skill to be able to cooperate well with you.

When playing together, Zed players should expect to see an overall large increase in your team’s ability to deal physical damage. Combined, these two can provide a great amount of sustained physical damage.

In contrast, by aligning Zed and Hwei together, you will not be granting your side much cover. We recommend you bring other champions on your team that nullifies this hole in their abilities.

Regardless of the ability of your Hwei ally, you need to focus on maximizing your gold income, outlasting your enemies, and taking down objectives. If you do this, you should do well anyway.
