Zeds ult mechanically pains me..

Half the reason you play zed is his mobility, with this in mind adding an uncontrollable 1 second delay to his ult makes him much more predictable and is a huge hit on his core mechanics(thus affecting his skill cap). When playing against highly skilled mid laners that have point and click easy to cast CC this makes playing zed incredibly vulnerable and predictable. For some mid laners (like annie) that 1 second is all she needs to know where zed will be and kill him with 1 combo. This hit to zed is very disappointing and literally has no counter play on part of zed. Aside from using flash, or W both of which is forcing the zed player to do things he doesn't want to do really limiting what zed was designed to do. Which of course is be mobile and unpredictable. Although, at a low skill level this doesn't seem like much.. Coming from a zed player with hundreds of games as zed this change was huge to me. There were better ways to handle nerfing the champion than hitting his core functionality. This nerf IMO really steals from zeds fluidity, I just want to make it known and hope in the future RIOT reconsiders this change.

What are you talking about? Do you mean his untargetability before the Death Mark is applied?

Riot reconsider a change? Funny. Their decisions are made, the written in stone. They'll adjust or compensate a highly disliked change but I doubt they'll ever back track on it.

I think his ult is entirely problematic both for himself and other players, and that it should be redone. It's shitty to use and shitty to play against. No sense in banging your head against a wall trying to fix that mess when you can just remove it and give him something that's actually a good ult.

Regardless of the approach something still is definitely lacking here and needs to be looked at.
