People always get so surprised when a certain Assassin becomes meta/broken

these same assassins that people want to protect when they aren't viable are the same assassins that become disgustingly broken when they do become viable and it's because of their lack of meaningful counterplay and ability to keep them in check. half of the assassin rosters "counterplay" is to buy a pink ward.

this is why Zed is the healthiest assassin in the game, no matter how strong he gets he will always have a vast variety of counterplay available.

so please keep asking for akali/kass/kha/diana etc buffs but don't complain when they kill you in less than .5 seconds with no reaction/counterplay available.

The problem with Zed is that you can't have a Zhonya's by level 6. That and his waveclear is near infinite. Even if you use all of your mana to counter-shove, he has his passive to fall back on for last hitting under a tower.

Zed IS and has been for a long time the healthiest Assassin in the game, everybody else is cancer that shouldn't have been designed.
