A champ that counters Zed
Ok, so a lot goes around about Zed, and how he offers no counterplay, farm so well in the early game, can split push later, has one of the best escapes and can 1 shot pretty much anyone. But there is a Champ that does not let him do any of these things. That Champ is Malzahar. He is rare to find, but he beats Zed. Of course, you have to know how to play Malzahar, but if they both know how to play the champs, the result should be Malzahar's. Here are the reasons
- Malzahar pushes lanes better then Zed, even early game: Malzahar is that champ that will spend most of the game sitting in the mid lane and just pushing. Everything about his kit just says "PUSH THE LANE YOU SCRUB" and he does it better then zed. This works late game 2 ( Ps : Ward VERY heavily as you have no escapes other then Flash, and since you are going to be pushing lane you will be prone to ganks)
- His escape can be useless as you can ult to set up ganks
- Zed can NEVER 1 v 1 him. Ok here is where things get good. Zed needs his ult to kill someone.But what malzahar does is, as soon as he ults you, use the pool under you and as soon as him and his shadow shows up, ult him. This will mean: 1 He will not be able to trigger damage of the death mark 2 he will take a lot more damage then you because of this 3 He will take the ult damage ( that scales with 130% of your Ap) plus the damage from null zone ( And any other thing you might use, ignite etc). If done correctly, the only way he stands a chance is if he buys a Hexdrinker, Banshee's and a QSS, lowering a lot of his damage. Again this only works if you time your ult with his.
So overall he has a very good time against Zed. I have been in this match up plenty of times a Malz, and like 2 as Zed, and in all cases the result was the same. I am prepared to be downvoted by lots of people that are going to claim that Zed has no counters and that there is nothing that can be done. So I am just leaving this here for anyone that is wanting to know what works.
