Zed Is Not OP

In all my time in mid lane I've gone up against Zed countless times because I never ban him and before you ask no I don't really play or main Zed heres what you need to do

  1. go resolve secondary you dont NEED any other tree what you need is to not die Zed's 1v1 is far better than most champs
  2. take summoner 21 this making it so you can take a bit of burst and is not countered by summoner 14 or summoner 3 this reduces his damage by 40% and slows him for 30% I recommendsummoner 21 mostly but summoner 3 is still an option
  3. RUSH item 3191 too many times have I seen someone complaining about Zed killing them when they have 0 armor item 3191 this gives you 30 flat armor which completely counters at least 1 full item 3134 item for those who dont know 1 full item 3134 item gives 18 lethality item 3191 gives 30 flat and then a bonus 15 with its passive once the passive is fully stacked you get 45 armor from this one item alone so this counters at least 2 item 3134 items and then some with item 3147 and item 3142 zed is getting 36 lethality but item 3191 gives you 45 armor this completely counters his 2 full items to your one not even completed item that costs 1100 gold

you dont NEED youritem 3802 or item 3070 RIGHT away it can wait what you need to do is not die do this and you'll be fine

Edit if you want to lie to yourself and say zed is too OP and theres no counter play after what I wrote fine go ahead dont matter to me

Zed is an assassin. Nimble, quick, and deadly. However, their trade off is being especially susceptible to hard CC and being squishy. If assassins like Zed weren't OP (when people say OP they mean they do a lot of damage) and cant 1 shot enemy squishies, then he'll be worthless.

yeah agreed I most of the time play ADC and I HATE zed lol but I know that him one shotting me is what hes meant to do, do I like it? no do I understand why? yes.

Why are you even trying? He is broken if the person playing against him is bad at the game, so obviously boards will say he is broken

I am not blaming you, but trying to defend an assassin or yasuo is literally suicidal on this forum website lol

Zed has a very high banrate (34% in Dia+) and a high pickrate(15%+) with a good winrate (51%). I dont know if he is op but people saying that he is as easy to counter as you and OP make it out to be is ridiculous. This method might've worked a lot better when lost chapter was 900g but sadly enough it isnt. Zeds items are so cheap compared to every other mage. So even if you do your best as a mage to counter his poke, you're gonna get hit by a W+E+Q eventually and it will chunk quite decently. But your analogy for him reaching to almost OP level or even being there is quite funny, I will use it whenever someone complains about Irelia on the boards.

I play zed. He's broken. He does too much damage. All assassins do. Admitting it is the only way the game will be balanced

I can agree they do a ton of damage but the thing is everyone is doing insane damage right now its not just assassins but getting item 3191 in lane with him helps out so much and I dont see why sometimes no one buys it
