I think this is why Zed doesn't get nerfed.

While watching a video on youtube, someone said in the comments something that explains most Zed players.

"Look at the ffcking retarded item (zhonyas)...it would have been an easy kill, but the zhonyas is so long ahri just needs to press it and has not to think about when she caan avoid the most dmg"

Did he really just say that Zed would have gotten a kill if his enemy mid laner didn't spend 3k gold on a zhonyas? If a champion gets a kill EVERY 90 SECONDS, unless his enemy rushes one of the most expensive items in the game, you know thats too much. Balance zed, the only people that defend him are the ones that are still trying to grab freelo.

With the logic that there is an item that can help survive from zed, there's people thinking that zed is balanced, and boy oh boy, are they wrong.

Riot you really need to nerf zed, increase his ults cooldown or give it a timer so he cant ult back out immediately.

With this logic maybe we should nerf talon for his combo on the adc, and syndra, for her ult 100-0 the enemy midlaner, or even kha'zix i mean if u get isolated your dead, i mean come on yeah, zed is strong, but hes not any stronger then other midlaners, learn his kit and youll see theres plenty of counterplay. during teamfights cc him during his ult and you can burst him down before he can even kill the support, i played a game against a 9-2 zed as ryze and during team fights id snare him when he went for our adc, and we just focused him down and went on to win the game.

Zed has other things fall back on, try playing fizz and trying to do anything to someone who bought a zhonyas

You can also get a QSS to remove Zed's R, which is a good chunk of his damage. AP has Zhonya's, AD has QSS.

Edit: Also. Zed can't 100-0 anyone who gets early armor until he has at least 2 or 3 items. If he's level 6 and you're level 6, you can't be 100-0'd unless you let him stand there and AA you and land extra E's and Q's. Zed isn't a problem until late game when he R's, Q's, and E's, then teleports back to his R's shadow and gets away, which is countered by a Zhonya's or QSS/Scimitar.

Lol. Most zed players just say Oh they got that item. Cool. Let me roam for my kills. No issue here. The idea that one item will prevent a zed from owning is just so funny.

Zed has plenty of counterplay, quit bitching.

If you come up against a Zed, just pick a champion that can block, displace, or interrupt Zed. Due to his insanely high skill-cap, its not very common you come up against a Faker-Zed. There are numerous ways to stop a Zed... just got to look...summoner 4 summoner 3 Yasuo Blitzcrank Morgana Malzahar...people and things like that.

I mean Zhonyas isn't really a niche item. It's the go to counter for any AD mid, not just Zed.

Now a Quicksilver rush, that's niche.

Because assassin players get delusional and think that counterplay to their champions is a HIDEOUS idea.

That Zed player's probably one of the Talon protesters who thought that his silence was actually healthy.

There's nothing like a 'zed is too stronk' thread.
