This is contrasting evidence that she is worse when playing with Irelia.

Is Zoe better when played alongside Irelia?

There is no perfect champion pairing for Zoe that will 100% of the time be her best synergy. Yet, overall, Irelia is a very typical ally for Zoe. By being on the same team as Zoe, she drops their win rate by -0.8% to 46.2%. This clearly indicates that there is only a small bond between Zoe and Irelia that results in them performing worse together than alone.

Irelia has a lower difficulty than Zoe. That means you don't need to be cautious when arranging Irelia comrades to fight alongside, as they will have to have a lower level of skill to do well with you.

Playing cooperatively, you will likely witness an overall large increase in your team’s capacity to deal magic damage. Together, these champions are able to dish out a surprising amount of magic type damage.

In contrast, by grouping Zoe and Irelia together, you may not be providing your side a great deal of crowd control. Make sure to include other champs on your team that fills this relative gap in their potential.

Regardless of the skill of your Irelia ally, you should focus on maximizing your gold income, staying alive by avoiding foolish fights, and taking down objectives. If you do this, you will do well anyway.
