Guide to Synergizing Zed and Zoe

Tips for Playing as Zed with Zoe

Placing a Living Shadow before using Death Mark can give Zed a safe escape from combat.

Saving energy and spell cooldowns until you use your ultimate will maximize Death Mark's damage.

Quickly double tapping Living Shadow will teleport Zed to his shadow immediately for rapid escapes.

Advice to Understand How Zoe Will Play

Sleepy Trouble Bubble travels further over walls. Find a hiding spot to set up for a long distance kill.

Break Sleep with your biggest damage source, since enemies who are asleep take double damage.

Paddle Star deals more damage the further it has flown. Casting it behind yourself before redirecting can deal tons of damage.

How to Play with Zoe as Zed in LoL

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

When Zed plays on the same team as Zoe, he gets a little drop in his full damage output. This difference may indicate that Zoe doesn't help protection for him to dish out more damage or that her presence also helps extend the game's duration. Similarly, when Zed is played together with Zoe on the same side, he usually scores many fewer killing sprees compared to when he plays without Zoe. This is contrasting evidence that he is worse when playing synergisticly with Zoe.

Additionally, when Zed plays with Zoe on the same side, he typically receives more damage than when he fights alone. Taking more damage may indicate that Zoe does a poor job of protecting Zed in teamfights.

Is Zed better when played alongside Zoe?

There is no top companion for Zed that will always be his best synergy. Yet, overall, Zoe is a very typical teammate for Zed. By being on the same side as Zed, she increases their win rate by 0.1% to 48.5%. This demonstrates that there is not really a strong bond between Zed and Zoe that allows them to perform stronger together than alone.

Zoe has a lower difficulty than Zed. That means you don't need to be careful when enlisting Zoe allies to go into battle on the same side as, as they will have to have a lower level of skill to do well with you.

Playing cooperatively, Zed players will likely observe an overall large increase in your team’s ability to dish out massive AD. When paired, these champions should be able to take down targets with auto-attacks and other AD damage abilities.

In contrast, by aligning Zed and Zoe together, you may not be giving your side a lot of crowd control. We recommend you have other champions on your team that helps cover this disparity in their kit.

Regardless of the ability of your Zoe teammate, you need to focus on maximizing your income, outlasting your enemies, and clearing objectives. If you follow these simple suggestions, you will do well, regardless.
