Is Zed better when played alongside Vladimir?
There is no universally accepted best synergy for Zed that will always be his top synergy. However, overall, Vladimir is a very typical companion for Zed. By locking into the same side as Zed, he raises their win rate by 0.5% to 48.9%. This signals that there is not really a strong bond between Zed and Vladimir that allows them to perform stronger together than without each other.
Vladimir has a lower difficulty than Zed. That means Zed players don't need to be cautious when lining up Vladimir comrades to go into battle on the same side as, as they will have to have a relatively low level of skill to be able to play well with you.
Fighting together, you will likely see an overall large increase in your team’s capability to deal physical damage. Combined, these champs should be able to take down targets with auto-attacks and other AD damage abilities.
In contrast, by grouping Zed and Vladimir together, you probably will not be granting your side much support. We recommend you bring other champions on your team that neutralizes this relative hole in their playstyle.
Regardless of your Vladimir ally's ability, you need to focus on increasing your income, warding to avoid ambushes, and taking down objectives. If you heed this simple advice, you should do well anyway.
