The Zed versus Zac matchup in the jungle is favorable with proper positioning. Use your statistical advantage and prevent the opponent from realizing their potential.
Except for rare builds, Zed deals physical damage. Focus on eliminating enemy carries. Meanwhile, Zac deals primarily magic damage (86.41%), additional magic resistance may be required.
An important advantage of Zed is higher farming statistics (ranked 12th among role champions) (versus 58th for Zac), which provides a stable gold advantage in extended games and allows faster access to key items. Meanwhile, their higher KDA (3.3 versus 2.7) suggests they participate more effectively in team fights.
Despite the statistical advantage in the matchup, overconfidence can be the main mistake. It is important for the Zed player to maintain constant pressure on Zac, not allowing the opponent to safely scale up, and actively use the advantage gained to help their team.
