Another indirect buff to Zed.. Really?

Currently on the PBE :

item 3139 : Unique Active - Quicksilver now only removes crowd control debuffs instead of all debuffs.

I mean, cmon Riot, it seems that no matter what you want to keep one of the most toxic champ to play against in top tier....

No matter the nerf you always finish by buffing him again for no reason, you add a new item item 3147 that seems to have been created specifically for Zed, then now this..... Mercurial Scimitar , and Quicksilver Sash by the same occasion no longer remove Zed ult. You also nerfed hard Hourglass, making the active cooldown way more long.

Already that he have the safest laning phase of any champion while supposed to be high risk/high reward, free farm even under tower with passive, free spamming with energy, the fact that he can R you, kill you, go take a piss, go check is inbox on facebook, go make a cofee, then R back to safety miles away..... you need to remove the only counter we had to his ult?

That it completely a joke. I expect him to be nerfed on the PBE before the mid season patch go live or Zed will just be a real infamy...... for like 10 patch in a row.

Stop this nonsense favoritism, Riot.

I'm surprised you even got some thumbs up from this huge Zed fanbase that normally go through thumbs downing any Zed thread. He's overpowered, it's simple as that.

With that said, Malzahar is going to be my new ban every chance because he's equally going to be as OP as fuck except without the outplay potential, and less mobile.

The direction Riot seems to be taking lately is making hard choices/changes to allow broken champs to be balanced. There are a ton of changes for 6.8 and 6.9 that nerf previously abused items that certain champs relied on to be broken only when abusing those items. They are toning those down and then they can balance the game around them again. With some 130 champs it is becoming harder and harder to balance items around champs, so I think they are overall reducing the efficacy of items, introducing a larger variety of generally weaker items, and then trying to balance champions around that - which will be easier and more effective. I have to assume they will nerf/bring Zed in line after this the MYMU.
