How to Play with Tryndamere as Zed in LoL

Overall, Zed sees a very large drop in his KDA (ratio of kills and assists to deaths) when paired with Tryndamere. His KDA fell from NaN to NaN. This drop shows that Tryndamere helps Zed perform poorer in ranked LoL rounds. Yet, the small difference indicates that this performance change is not very impactful.

When Zed plays on the same team as Tryndamere, he gets a barely noticable drop in his total damage output. This may demonstrate that Tryndamere does not help protection for him to dish out more damage or that his allyship also helps extend the round's duration. Similarly, when Zed is played alongside Tryndamere on the same side, he usually scores many fewer killing sprees compared to when he plays without Tryndamere. This is contrasting evidence that he is worse when playing with Tryndamere.

Additionally, when Zed plays with Tryndamere on the same side, he often takes a little less damage than when he plays alone. Taking not as much damage could indicate that Tryndamere does a decent job of protecting Zed in teamfights.

Is Zed better when played alongside Tryndamere?

There is no universally accepted best ally for Zed that will always be his top synergy. Yet, overall, Tryndamere is a below average ally for Zed. By playing on the same team as Zed, he drops their win rate by -1.8% to 46.6%. This shows that there is a negative bond between Zed and Tryndamere that allows them to perform not as well together than alone.

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

Working together, Zed players should expect to witness an overall large increase in your team’s capacity to dish out massive AD. Together, these champs should be able to take down targets with auto-attacks and other AD damage abilities.

Conversely, by bringing Zed and Tryndamere together, you probably will not be granting your side a lot of AP. We recommend you have other champions on your team that offsets this relative disparity in this pairing's potential.

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