"Zed isn't too strong"

Succubús GF··9 votes·2,455 views

Okay sure, not like ive seen him in too many games, 3rd highest pick rate btw. His kit is literally toxic. There's no reason for him to play safe like anivia until he hits 3-6 and then just steam roll lane after lane. Wanna play a mage? Sorry but no because hexdrinker exists. A champion designed "to win lane" isnt healthy.The passive is absolute cancer considering how low the cd is. He is also extremely forgivable. Have you ever seen a zed r, miss half of his combo and still fucking one shot because he duskblade + electrocute. OMEGALUL Even zed mains know zed is too strong. But it's fine. Go ahead and nerf mages 30 more times

Champions like Zed, who have kits that are designed to have an answer for every possible situation shouldn't deal high damage. All the tools to win a trade, are in the hands of these mechanically superior champions, not the champs they are engaging. Therefore their damage should be toned down. They have the mechanical advantage, I don't know why Riot is also giving them the damage advantage on top of that. All of Zeds abilities need nerfs, except for Deathmark. It bothers me that Zed has more powerbudget stats than other champions because Riot compensates him for Deathmark being countered by Zhonyas. This shouldn't be the case. Most assassins are countered by Zhonyas, but they don't have the rest of their kit tuned up for compensation.

Zed mains would still do well with Zed if he got nerfed across the board. Bad Zeds would still be bad. they only leave him overtuned because hes fun to watch, and that's unfortunate.

My biggest issue with Zed is him having longer range than the most extreme artillery mages and able to spam that poke for a long while until his W finally dissipates. Poke poke poke until the enemy is in execute range doesn't fit the bill for what an Assassin should feel like whatsoever.

champions like zed/camille make me question if mobility is even taken into account when designing champions nowadays. It´s like: -engage: check -disengage: check -survivability: check -free laning phase: check -Dmg: check

one champ does it all meanwhile you are playing a immobile mage and you are asking yourself: "Why the fuck am I still playing this champ when the optimal strategy for me is to not play the game for the first 15min in the hope that we might win teamfights, if the enemy team hasn´t snowballed out of control until that point and my team is competent."

That´s a lot of ifs compared to an assassin whos worst case scenario is trading 1 for 1 in a teamfight and that is only if someone actually goes out of his way to lock down the assassin, who is still able to kill his target because of course, he is, and doesn´t neglect his backline in favor of diving the enemy backline.

Zed's needs a root (cast-time) in his E. If he is low, he can use W-E and run witout punishment but if he has a cast-time root, like Yasuos Q, he will have to decide when use it. Same when he want to poke and slow enemies to then hit Q's. If Zed uses E he will have a 0.25 root while animation casts. Zed

Zed Is countered by shielding after his "Hahahahaha..." Once the shadow is about to hit you, press summoner 21 and it will literally absorb 60% or so of his damage. The trick with his kit is that, after the shadow marks you, all damage he deals is dealt again at a ratio after his shadow ends. If you deny that damage after the mark, you will easily live. A harder trickyer outplay is by summoner 4 his R after the clone lands for mark. You can also item 3157 the ult damage as well as item 3040 shield the mark damage as well. Quite a few item counters to zed. Too bad most nublets dont use em.

Most people just dont read/research when they get rekt by stuff. ;)

If you think you deserve to win while just ignoring that you're facing a Zed instead of an Annie then there's bad news and there's bad news...

Alright, lets put it like this:

If you make the decision to just go for maximum damage setups, don't whine if you fall behind and now you're stuck. It's your decision if you want to play the strategy game route or the action game route. It's not Zed's fault that you chose the latter. Zed's an early game abuser. If you don't feed, guess what? He's nothing but a liability after the first 15 to 20 minutes. That's all it takes. Easier said than done, but the point stands. It's up to you how you want to deal with that, and no amount of "xd" spamming makes you any more right or wrong, but it does make you look like a mindless meme'r.

First off, im not a bro, refrain from that shit right there. Dont be daft. He doesnt need both. You forget midlaners dont start amp tome. He starts long sword, which makes his first back very cheap for lethality. Meanwhile we either get the armor and go oom while he regens energy wasily. It's really sad that you don't know what you are talking about. Ad assassins are busted in general but ok
