Zed Jax Synergy Stats
How to Play with Jax as Zed in LoL
The Zed Jax synergy stats shown here demonstrate the areas of his gameplay that do better (or worse) when paired with Jax, compared to his overall stats. Significant differences are areas of focus that highlight how his gameplay changes when paired with this other champion.
Overall, Zed sees a very large drop in his KDA (ratio of kills and assists to deaths) when paired with Jax. His KDA worsened from NaN to NaN. This negative change shows that Jax helps Zed perform worse in competitive League games. Yet, the small difference proves that this performance change is only marginal.
When Zed tries to synergize with Jax, he gets a small decrease in his complete damage output. This may signal that Jax does not provide protection for him to deal more damage or that his participation also helps extend the match's duration. Similarly, when Zed is played with Jax on the same team, he usually scores many fewer killing sprees than when he plays alone. This is contrasting evidence that he is worse when playing with Jax.
Additionally, when Zed plays with Jax on the same side, he on average takes a little less damage than when he fights alone. Getting dealt not as much damage may indicate that Jax does a decent job of protecting Zed during team fights.

Is Zed better when played alongside Jax?
There is no ideal champion pairing for Zed that will always be his ideal ally. However, overall, Jax is a very typical ally for Zed. By locking into the same side as Zed, he improves their win rate by 0.7% to 49.1%. This signals that there is a weak strategic relationship between Zed and Jax that results in them performing stronger together than without each other.
Jax has a lower difficulty than Zed. That means you don't need to be very careful when finding Jax comrades to fight alongside, as they will need a relatively low level of skill to fight well with you.
Playing alongside, you should expect to observe an overall large increase in your team’s capability to dish out massive AD. Together, these champs should be able to take down targets with auto-attacks and other AD damage abilities.
Although, by bringing Zed and Jax together, you may not be providing your other allies much support. Plan to bring other champs on your team that helps cover this gap in this pairing's capabilities.
Regardless of the skill of your Jax teammate, you should focus on increasing your gold income, staying alive by avoiding foolish fights, and clearing objectives. If you heed this simple advice, you should do well anyway.
