Anivia vs Zed Matchup Summary

The Anivia vs Zed matchup is a moderate matchup in League of Legends ranked play. Based on 85 recent matches analyzed, Anivia wins with a 52.4% win rate compared to Zed's 47.6%, giving Anivia a 4.8 percentage point advantage. Anivia dominates at every stage — from early laning through late game team fights. This consistent advantage makes it difficult for Zed players to find favorable windows, so team-dependent strategies and avoiding solo confrontations are essential. The most significant statistical gap is in crowd control, where Anivia leads by 1.2s CC/min — a difference that heavily influences the outcome of trades and skirmishes. Anivia has a statistical edge, but the margin is close enough that respecting Zed's strengths is important. Trade when cooldowns are favorable, track the enemy jungler, and build toward your strongest item spikes to convert the slight advantage into a decisive lead. Understanding these matchup dynamics is essential for champion select decisions and in-game strategy when facing this lane opponent.

Farming
6.9Anivia
6.6Zed
Anivia and Zed farm at nearly identical rates in this matchup, with only a 0.2 CS/min difference. Neither champion holds a meaningful farming advantage, so lane dominance will come from trading and jungle interaction rather than CS leads.
Damage
734Anivia
987Zed
Zed heavily out-damages Anivia by 253 DMG/min, dominating both short trades and all-in fights. Anivia should avoid extended combat and instead focus on burst trade patterns — short engages followed by immediate disengagement — to avoid letting Zed's sustained damage advantage take over.
Economy
11,316Anivia
11,941Zed
Zed earns 625 more gold per game than Anivia, equivalent to roughly one additional component item. This economic edge comes from a combination of better farming, kill participation, and objective control, giving Zed slightly faster item completions.
Utility
1.5Anivia
0.3Zed
Anivia brings significantly more crowd control than Zed, with 1.2 more seconds of CC per minute. This large utility gap makes Anivia far more valuable in setting up jungle ganks, controlling objectives, and locking down targets in team fights. Zed should invest in tenacity and position carefully to avoid being chain-CC'd.
Sustain
828Anivia
670Zed
Anivia vastly out-sustains Zed, healing and mitigating 158 more damage per minute. This massive durability gap means Anivia can absorb significant punishment and remain in lane while Zed is forced to recall. Building grievous wounds early is essential for Zed, and focusing on burst trade patterns rather than sustained fights is critical.
