How to Play with Syndra as Zed in LoL

The Zed Syndra synergy stats shown here demonstrate the areas of his gameplay that do better (or worse) when paired with Syndra, 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 Syndra. His KDA worsened from NaN to NaN. This decrease shows that Syndra helps Zed perform worse in ranked LoL rounds. Yet, the small difference indicates that this performance change is only marginal.

When Zed is an ally to Syndra, he observes a little drop in his complete damage dealt. This difference could indicate that Syndra does not support by providing cover for him to deal more damage or that her presence also helps extend the game's duration. Similarly, when Zed is played alongside Syndra on the same team, he usually scores many fewer killing sprees compared to when he plays without Syndra. This is contrasting evidence that he is worse when playing alongside Syndra.

Moreover, when Zed plays with Syndra on the same team, he typically receives significantly more damage than when he plays alone. Getting dealt more damage may indicate that Syndra does a poor job of covering Zed in team fights.

Is Zed better when played alongside Syndra?

There is no universally accepted best synergy for Zed that will always be his best teammate. Yet, Syndra is a terrible teammate for Zed. By being on the same team as Zed, she drops their win rate by -4.5% to 43.9%. This signals that there is a very bad bond between Zed and Syndra that results in them performing not as well together than alone.

Syndra has a greater difficulty than Zed. That means you should be cautious when lining up Syndra comrades to fight alongside, as they will have to have a greater level of skill to be able to play well with you.

Playing cooperatively, you will likely witness an overall large increase in your team’s capacity to dish out massive AD. Combined, these two should be able to take down targets with auto-attacks and other AD damage abilities.

In contrast, by grouping Zed and Syndra together, you may not be providing your other allies a great deal of protection for burst damage. Make sure to pick other champions on your team that neutralizes this disparity in this pairing's kit.

Regardless of the ability of your Syndra ally, you should focus on maximizing your gold income, warding to avoid ambushes, and clearing objectives. If you heed this simple advice, you will do well, regardless.
