How to Play with Poppy as Zed in LoL

Overall, Zed sees a very large drop in his KDA (ratio of kills and assists to deaths) when paired with Poppy. His KDA decreased from NaN to NaN. This decrease shows that Poppy helps Zed perform poorer in competitive League of Legends games. Yet, the small difference indicates that this performance change is not very impactful.
When Zed plays on the same team as Poppy, he observes a little increase in his complete damage output. This change could demonstrate that Poppy supports by providing protection for him to deal more damage or that her participation also helps extend the game's duration. Similarly, when Zed is played with Poppy on the same team, he usually scores many fewer killing sprees than when he plays without Poppy. This is contrasting evidence that he is worse when playing alongside Poppy.
Additionally, when Zed plays with Poppy on the same team, he often takes a little more damage than when he fights alone. Getting dealt more damage may indicate that Poppy does a poor job of covering Zed during teamfights.

Is Zed better when played alongside Poppy?
There is no perfect champion pairing for Zed that will always be his best synergy. However, overall, Poppy is a pretty good ally for Zed. By locking into the same team as Zed, she increases their win rate by 1.0% to 49.4%. This clearly indicates that there is a potentially meaningful strategic relationship between Zed and Poppy that allows them to perform better together than without each other.
Poppy has a lower difficulty than Zed. That means you don't need to be very careful when finding Poppy comrades to fight alongside, as they will have to have a relatively low level of skill to be able to fight well with you.
Fighting alongside, you should witness an overall large increase in your team’s capacity to deal physical damage. When paired, these champs can provide a great amount of sustained physical damage.
In contrast, by bringing Zed and Poppy together, you probably will not be providing your side a great deal of AP. We recommend you include other champions on your team that neutralizes this gap in their capabilities.
Regardless of the ability of your Poppy ally, you should focus on maximizing your gold income, warding to avoid ambushes, and taking down objectives. If you heed this simple advice, you should do well anyway.
